Albert Camus
“When the soul suffers too much, it develops a taste for misfortune.”
Albert Camus, The First Man

Azar Nafisi
“It's frightening to be free, to have to take responsibility for your decisions.”
Azar Nafisi, Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books

John Steinbeck
“I wonder how many people I've looked at all my life and never seen.”
John Steinbeck, The Winter of Our Discontent

Trevor Noah
“People love to say, “Give a man a fish, and he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he’ll eat for a lifetime.” What they don’t say is, “And it would be nice if you gave him a fishing rod.” That’s the part of the analogy that’s missing.”
Trevor Noah, Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood

“And I thought about how, actually, if you wanted to, you could say the same thing about life. That life is terrifying and overwhelming and it can happen at any moment. And when you’re confronted with life you can either be cowardly or you can be brave, but either way you’re going to live. So you might as well be brave.”
Raphael Bob-Waksberg, Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory
