“Scars have the strange power to remind us that our past is real.”
― Cormac McCarthy, All the Pretty Horses

“The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As longs as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.”
― Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl

“Don't you remember that love, like medicine, is only the art of encouraging nature?”
― Pierre A.F. Choderlos de Laclos, Les liaisons dangereuses

“Books are the mirrors of the soul.”
― Virginia Woolf, Between the Acts
