“I would say, some people are like constellations that only touch the earth for a season.”
― Madeline Miller, Circe

“The night wears on; the fire dwindles; the wind shifts and my heart aches with nostalgia - summer camps and catching lightning bugs and August skies aflame with stars. The way the desert smells and the long, wistful sigh of wind rushing down from the mountains as the sun dips beneath the horizon.”
― Rick Yancey, The Infinite Sea

“In the lives of humans, there are moments that feel very much apart from the majority of moments. That is, in any life there are many hundreds of thousands of hours and millions of minutes, and though those hours and minutes might be filled with contentment, or joy, or pain, few of them are bathed in the light of destiny. Very few of them feel as if one has been taken from their regular life and lifted into a new, extraordinary existence. It is these moments that bring an ordinary life into the realm of the extraordinary. It is these moments that are doorways from a life lived to eat and drink and sleep, into a life lived to do monumental things.”
― Dave Eggers, The Lifters

“What can we do with this happiness that appears for no obvious reason, the joy that needs no cause to exist?”
― Isabel Allende, The Japanese Lover
