“Many boys will bring you flowers. But someday you'll meet a boy who will learn your favorite flower, your favorite song, your favorite sweet. And even if he is too poor to give you any of them, it won't matter because he will have taken the time to know you as no one else does. Only that boy earns your heart.”
― Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

“Day and night, their frail and crippled ships defy the tempest.”
― Jorge Luis Borges, The Widow Ching-Pirate

“She laughed at the stars, frightened but free, her terror as sharp as pain and as sweet as a ripe October apple”
― Stephen King, It

“Actual life is full of false clues and sign-posts that lead nowhere. With infinite effort we nerve ourselves for a crisis that never comes. The most successful career must show a waste of strength that might have removed mountains, and the most unsuccessful is not that of the man who is taken unprepared, but of him who has prepared and is never taken.”
― E.M. Forster, Howards End
