― John Green, An Abundance of Katherines

“I am a Woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal Woman,
that's me.”
― Maya Angelou

“Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn't nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand.”
― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

“That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet.”
― Emily Dickinson
