Those are the nights the light is needed most.”

“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”
― John Lennon

“That’s the thing when people leave us too suddenly, isn’t it? We always have so many questions.”
― Mitch Albom, The First Phone Call from Heaven

“I can forgive and forget... it is so much less exhausting. You only have to forgive once. To resent, you have to do it all day, every day. You have to keep remembering all the bad things”
― M.L. Stedman, The Light Between Oceans
