“Last year I abstained
this year I devour

without guilt
which is also an art”
― Margaret Atwood, You are Happy

“When I look back on my past and think how much time I wasted on nothing, how much time has been lost in futilities, errors, laziness, incapacity to live; how little I appreciated it, how many times I sinned against my heart and soul — then my heart bleeds. Life is a gift, life is happiness, every minute can be an eternity of happiness!”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky

“At some point, you have to set down the past. At some point, you have to accept that everyone was doing their best. At some point, you have to gather yourself up, and go onward into your life.”
― Olivia Laing, The Trip to Echo Spring
