Siddhartha Mukherjee
“If you know the question, you know half.”
Siddhartha Mukherjee, The Gene: An Intimate History

“We want everything to be permanent—relationships, love, beauty, youth, happiness. But the truth is permanence is an illusion, and like everything else in life happiness also comes and goes. Trying to be happy forever is like trying to stop water from slipping through your fingers. It’s not possible, and the only way forward is to realize and accept it.”
Shaheen Bhatt, I've never been (Un)happier

Siddhartha Mukherjee
“Modesty is a virtue,” he would later write, “yet one gets further without it.”
Siddhartha Mukherjee, The Gene: An Intimate History

Ocean Vuong
“You once told me that the human eye is god's loneliest creation. How so much of the world passes through the pupil and still it holds nothing. The eye, alone in its socket, doesn't even know there's another one, just like it, an inch away, just as hungry, as empty.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

“Take off the mask. You aren’t happy? Fine, you aren’t happy. One day you will be. And then you’ll be sad again. Accept that and stop wasting your energy chasing something that doesn’t exist. You can’t spend your life feeling bad about feeling bad.”
Shaheen Bhatt, I've never been (Un)happier
