“Closing your eyes isn't going to change anything. Nothing's going to disappear just because you can't see what's going on. In fact, things will even be worse the next time you open your eyes. That's the kind of world we live in. Keep your eyes wide open. Only a coward closes his eyes. Closing your eyes and plugging up your ears won't make time stand still.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“Unexpected intrusions of beauty. This is what life is.”
― Saul Bellow, Herzog

“The truth isn't so simple. Death may be inevitable, but love is not. Love, you have to choose.”
― Hillary Jordan, Mudbound

“Nothing was certain, but everything was safe - that was part of the mystery of Love.”
― Charles Williams, The Greater Trumps
