Wisława Szymborska
“Let the people who never find true love
keep saying that there's no such thing.

Their faith will make it easier for them to live and die.”
Wislawa Szymborska, View with a Grain of Sand: Selected Poems

Gabrielle Zevin
“Most people's problems would be solved if they would only give more things a chance.”
Gabrielle Zevin, The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry

Nick Hornby
“People worry about kids playing with guns, and teenagers watching violent videos; we are scared that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands - literally thousands - of songs about broken hearts and rejection and pain and misery and loss.”
Nick Hornby, High Fidelity

Gabrielle Zevin
“The words you can't find, you borrow.
We read to know we're not alone. We read because we are alone. We read and we are not alone.”
Gabrielle Zevin, The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry

Alain de Botton
“It seemed an advantage to be traveling alone. Our responses to the world are crucially moulded by the company we keep, for we temper our curiosity to fit in with the expectations of others...Being closely observed by a companion can also inhibit our observation of others; then, too, we may become caught up in adjusting ourselves to the companion's questions and remarks, or feel the need to make ourselves seem more normal than is good for our curiosity.”
Alain de Botton, The Art of Travel
