“Wäre es wirklich besser, wenn es diese Welt überhaupt nicht gäbe? Stattdessen leben wir, wir schaffen Kunst, lieben, beobachten, leiden, freuen uns und lachen. Wir existieren alle auf millionenfach unterschiedliche Weisen, damit es kein Nichts gibt, und der Preis dafür ist nun mal der Tod.”
― Benedict Wells, Vom Ende der Einsamkeit

“I don’t regret anything I’ve ever done in life, any choice that I’ve made. But I’m consumed with regret for the things I didn’t do, the choices I didn’t make, the things I didn’t say. We spend so much time being afraid of failure, afraid of rejection. But regret is the thing we should fear most. Failure is an answer. Rejection is an answer. Regret is an eternal question you will never have the answer to. “What if…” “If only…” “I wonder what would have…” You will never, never know, and it will haunt you for the rest of your days.”
― Trevor Noah, Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood

“And so I try to be kind to everything I see, and in everything I see, I see him.”
― Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life

“Wasn’t friendship its own miracle, the finding of another person who made the entire lonely world seem somehow less lonely?”
― Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life
