“Anyone whose goal is 'something higher' must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling.

― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

“It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

― C.S. Lewis

“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”
