“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”
― Arundhati Roy, The Cost of Living

“One always has a better book in one's mind than one can manage to get onto paper.”
― Michael Cunningham

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”
― Hippocrates

“There is no perfection only life”
