“To keep on going, you have to keep up the rhythm. This is the important thing for long-term projects. Once you set the pace, the rest will follow.”
― Haruki Murakami, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running

“As far as I am concerned, I resign from humanity. I no longer want to be, nor can still be, a man. What should I do? Work for a social and political system, make a girl miserable? Hunt for weaknesses in philosophical systems, fight for moral and esthetic ideals? It’s all too little. I renounce my humanity even though I may find myself alone. But am I not already alone in this world from which I no longer expect anything?”
― Emil Cioran, On the Heights of Despair

“The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.”
― Ernest Hemingway

“In order to understand, I destroyed myself.”
― Fernando Pessoa
