William Harris

“It is always better to admire the best among our foes rather than the worst among our friends”
― Viet Thanh Nguyen, The Sympathizer

“I trudged along through each day in its turn, looking up only rarely, eyes locked on the endless swamp that lay before me, planting my right foot, raising my left, planting my left food, raising my right, never sure where I was, never sure I was headed in the right direction, knowing only that I had to keep moving, one step at a time.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

“Nothing could be counted on in a world where even when you were a solution you were a problem.”
― Toni Morrison, Beloved

“To be left alone on the tightrope of youthful unknowing is to experience the excruciating beauty of full freedom and the threat of eternal indecision.”
― Maya Angelou, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
