“There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well.

― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.”
― Edgar Degas

“We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.”
― George Orwell, 1984

“It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
