“They don’t teach this at medical school, but I’ve seen it in real life. People die in bits and pieces. A series of petites morts. Little deaths. They lose their sight, their hearing, their independence. Those are the physical ones. But there’re others. Less obvious, but more fatal. They lose heart. They lose hope. They lose faith. They lose interest. And finally, they lose themselves.”
― Louise Penny, The Beautiful Mystery

“Scared is what you're feeling. Brave is what you're doing.”
― Emma Donoghue, Room

“The more the heart is nourished with happiness, the more it is insatiable.”
― Gabrielle Roy

“There are too many books I haven’t read, too many places I haven’t seen, too many memories I haven’t kept long enough.”
