“Have you ever noticed how many different silences there are, Gilbert? The silence of the woods...of the shore...of the meadows...of the night...of the summer afternoon. All different because all the undertones that thread are different. I'm sure if I were totally blind and insensitive to heat and cold I could easily tell just where I was by the quality of the silence about me.”
― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Windy Poplars

“choosing curiosity (wondering what might happen next) over worry (hoping that a certain specific thing will happen next, and fearing it might not) whenever you can.”
― Oliver Burkeman, Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals

“You have a gift for finding joy in small moments, which is a thing I used to have, but have lost,”

“mortality makes it impossible to ignore the absurdity of living solely for the future.”
