“It was as if he'd suddenly become intimately aware of the fragility of life and how precious time really was. As a result, he made a conscious effort to simplify his life, with the goal of eliminating unnecessary stress. No longer interested in society's definition of success, he began purging his life of material things. Life, he decided, was for living, not for having, and he wanted to experience every moment that he could. At the deepest level, he'd come to understand that life could end at any moment, and it was better to be be happy than busy.”
― Micah Sparks, Three Weeks with My Brother

“That's what the voices in your head are for, to get you through the silent parts.”

― Jane Yolen, Touch Magic: Fantasy, Faerie & Folklore in the Literature of Childhood
