“By virtue of marrying a man she does not love for money. That's the lowest kind of whore.”
― Gabriel García Márquez, Love in the Time of Cholera

“The first thing we need to learn in the wilderness is generous gentleness. Toward ourselves. Toward the old versions of ourselves. Toward those around us. Toward the universe eventually. Toward the holy work of our own life. The wilderness isn’t your place for striving, not really.”
― Sarah Bessey, Field Notes for the Wilderness: Practices for an Evolving Faith

“Who you are is defined by what you’re willing to struggle for.”
― Mark Manson, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life

“Therefore I would ask you to write all kinds of books, hesitating at no subject however trivial or however vast. By hook or by crook, I hope that you will possess yourselves of money enough to travel and to idle, to contemplate the future or the past of the world, to dream over books and loiter at street corners and let the line of thought dip deep into the stream. For I am by no means confining you to fiction. If you would please me - and there are thousands like me - you would write books of travel and adventure, and research and scholarship, and history and biography, and criticism and philosophy and science. By so doing you will certainly profit the art of fiction. For books have a way of influencing each other. Fiction will be much the better for standing cheek by jowl with poetry and philosophy.”
― Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own
