“That is why we have to make room in our lives for people who may sometimes disappoint or exasperate us. If we hold our friends to a standard of perfection, or if they do that to us, we will end up far lonelier than we want to be.”

“Good writing is the hardest form of thinking. It involves the agony of turning profoundly difficult thoughts into lucid form, then forcing them into the tight-fitting uniform of language, making them visible and clear. If the writing is good, then the result seems effortless and inevitable.

― Pat Conroy, My Reading Life

“When facing a dilemma, choose the more morally demanding alternative.”
― Harold S. Kushner, Living a Life That Matters: Resolving the Conflict between Conscience and Success
