“Sometimes forgetting is a mercy, and recalling is a pain too deep to bear.”
― Meagan Church, The Mad Wife

“Happy moments are precious. We need to hold on to them. Save them. Write them down. Place them in a bag. Have that metaphorical bag with you, for when it seems happy moments could never exist. Sometimes just to be reminded of happiness makes it more possible.”
― Matt Haig, The Comfort Book

“About happiness?’ ‘Yes, I wanted to say happiness is never beyond reach. It’s not in the distant past, nor on the horizon of the future. It’s right in front of me.”
― Hwang Bo-Reum, Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop

“The hardest dream of all to achieve is the dream of not being tormented by our unlived dreams. To cope with and accept unfulfillment as a natural human condition. To be complete in our incompleteness. To be free from the shackles of memory, and ambition, to be free from comparison to other people and other hypothetical selves, and to meet the moment without any other agenda, to exist as freely as time itself.”
― Matt Haig, The Comfort Book
