“As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden or, Life in the Woods

“There are a few things in life so beautiful they hurt: swimming in the ocean while it rains, reading alone in empty libraries, the sea of stars that appear when you’re miles away from the neon lights of the city, bars after 2am, walking in the wilderness, all the phases of the moon, the things we do not know about the universe, and you.”
― Beau Taplin

“I hope you read some fine books
and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful,
and don't forget to make some art
to write or draw or build or sing
or live as only you can.”
― Neil Garman

“Most things will be okay eventually, but not everything will be. Sometimes you'll put up a good fight and lose. Sometimes you'll hold on really hard and realize there is no choice but to let go. Acceptance is a small, quiet room.”
― Cheryl Strayed, Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar
