Mother Teresa
“Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”
Mother Teresa

Jennifer Egan
“There's a fine line between thinking about somebody and thinking about not thinking about somebody, but I have the patience and the self-control to walk that line for hours - days, if I have to.”
Jennifer Egan, A Visit from the Goon Squad

Arundhati Roy
“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

Marin Sorescu
“Doctore, simt ceva mortal
Aici în regiunea fiinţei mele,
Mă dor toate organele,
Ziua mă doare soarele,
Iar noaptea luna şi stelele.

Mi s-a pus un junghi în norul de pe cer
Pe care până atunci nici nu-l observasem
Şi mă trezesc în fiecare dimineaţă
Cu o senzaţie de iarnă.

Degeaba am luat tot felul de medicamente,
Am urât şi am iubit, am învăţat să citesc
Şi chiar am citit nişte cărţi,
Am vorbit cu oamenii şi m-am gândit,
Am fost bun şi am fost frumos...

Toate acestea n-au avut nici un efect, doctore
Şi-am cheltuit pe ele o groază de ani.

Cred că m-am îmbolnăvit de moarte
Într-o zi
Când m-am născut.”
Marin Sorescu, Poezii

Jenny  Lawson
“When you come out of the grips of a depression there is an incredible relief, but not one you feel allowed to celebrate. Instead, the feeling of victory is replaced with anxiety that it will happen again, and with shame and vulnerability when you see how your illness affected your family, your work, everything left untouched while you struggled to survive. We come back to life thinner, paler, weaker … but as survivors. Survivors who don’t get pats on the back from coworkers who congratulate them on making it. Survivors who wake to more work than before because their friends and family are exhausted from helping them fight a battle they may not even understand. I hope to one day see a sea of people all wearing silver ribbons as a sign that they understand the secret battle, and as a celebration of the victories made each day as we individually pull ourselves up out of our foxholes to see our scars heal, and to remember what the sun looks like.”
Jenny Lawson, Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things
