“When the silence and the aloneness press down and around me, crushing me, carving through me like ice, I need to speak aloud sometimes, if only for proof of life.”
― Gail Honeyman, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine

“They were seeking the treasure of their Personal Legend, without wanting actually to live out the Personal Legend.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

“Living turned me into nothing. Weird... People are born in order to live, right? But the longer I've lived, the more I've lost what's inside me—and ended up empty. And I bet the longer I live, the emptier, the more worthless, I'll become. Something's wrong with this picture. Life isn't supposed to turn out like this! Isn't it possible to shift direction, to change where I'm headed?”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“This wasn’t a strange place; it was a new one.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
