“I am reading six books at once, the only way of reading; since, as you will agree, one book is only a single unaccompanied note, and to get the full sound, one needs ten others at the same time.”
― Virginia Woolf, The Letters of Virginia Woolf: Volume Three, 1923-1928

“You can't win a war. Someone else just loses.”

― Marie Lu, The Kingdom of Back

“Time is your most precious gift because you only have a set amount of it. You can make more money, but you can't make more time.

It is not enough to just say relationships are important; we must prove it by investing time in them. Words alone are worthless. "My children, our love should not be just words and talk; it must be true love, which shows itself in action." Relationships take time and effort, and the best way to spell love is "T-I-M-E.”
― Rick Warren, The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here for?
