“Nothing ever happens like you imagine it will”
― John Green, Paper Towns

“Personal effects: how irrelevant they are, how sad, how lost, how vagrant, without the force that gives them purpose.”
― Sarah Hall, How to Paint a Dead Man

“Happiness is a simple game of lost and found: Lose the things you take for granted, and you will feel great happiness once they are found.”
― Richelle E. Goodrich, Making Wishes: Quotes, Thoughts, & a Little Poetry for Every Day of the Year

“It was not always the case that a large minority comprising the weakest members of society wore special clothes, were freed from the routines of work and of many constraints on their behaviour and were able to devote much of their time to play. It should be remembered that childhood is not a natural occurrence. There was a time when children were treated like small adults. Childhood is an invention, a social construct, made possible by society as it increased in sophistication and resource.”
― Ian McEwan, The Child in Time
