“I have been feeling very clearheaded lately and what I want to write about today is the sea. It contains so many colors. Silver at dawn, green at noon, dark blue in the evening. Sometimes it looks almost red. Or it will turn the color of old coins. Right now the shadows of clouds are dragging across it, and patches of sunlight are touching down everywhere. White strings of gulls drag over it like beads.

― Anthony Doerr, All the Light We Cannot See

“As we count up the memories from one journey, we head off on another.”

“You knew me. You knew that person, but you don't know the person I'm trying to become... You are not your past!”
