“For me lying created just the right amount of problems and what you saw was just one of my four or five faces- each real, each with different needs.

“I don’t want to sit like a brooding hen on the nest of my past achievements. I want to keep on going deep into the uncertain act of making, to see the unknown world stretch out before me and to devote myself to exploring it.”
― Katherine May, Enchantment: Awakening Wonder in an Anxious Age

“... and it occurred to me then, just as it does now, that the greatest lie that age tells about youth is that it’s somehow free of care, worry or fear.”
― David Nicholls, Sweet Sorrow
