“Love.” The word floated between us on a soft gust of air. “Deep, abiding, unconditional love. You want it so much you’re willing to live for it.” Most people thought the biggest sacrifice they could make was to die for something. They were wrong.

Death was oblivion; life was reality, the harshest truth that had ever existed.”
― Ana Huang, Twisted Love

“In fact, poor students often feel more successful (until they are tested), because they don’t experience much self-doubt. In psychology, this is known as the Dunning-Kruger effect (Kruger and Dunning, 1999)”
― Sönke Ahrens, How to Take Smart Notes

― J.A. Redmerski, The Edge of Never

“Sometimes, at the very end, when we want to kick and scream and fight to stay with the ones we love, we have to give in and let them go. We have to be strong and selfless and tell them it’s time to leave us.”
― Harlow Cole, Interference
