“Imagine for a one moment that you're in the future. Your future. These are your last moments before death.......Now, imagine I give you a final gift. You're allowed to go back. Just for twenty minutes, you're allowed to go back to the exact moment where you're reading these words. This is your twenty-minute gift. Do not waste it. You can't change your life in twenty minutes, so don't try. No-do the thing that you'll wish, on your deathbed, you could have done one last time. Something precious.”
― Ben Reeves, Everything was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt

“You have to fool yourself into thinking you already are the thing you want to become.”
― Clare Leslie Hall, Broken Country

“if it weren’t all so beautiful, if every tiny thing weren’t so relentlessly fucking beautiful, perhaps I’d be the one with the paperclip, but instead I’ll wander through it alone, blessed with every friend there is.”
― Ben Reeves, Everything was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt

“And it sneaks up on me this sensation. A sensation of deepest comfort. Here we are, doing small things, nothing really, just talking, watching television. And yet in the nothingness there is a life more real than any wedding or christening or birthday party. In these tiny moments, when the spectacle is stripped away, when there is no reason for the day, what's left appears to be something true, something fundamental to being a person.”
