“But i cannot be worrying-worrying all the time about the *truth*. I have to worry about the truth that can be *lived with*.”
― Zadie Smith, White Teeth

“My life amounts to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?”
― David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas

“What is the truth of any life, Titch? I doubt even the man who lives it can say. You cannot know the true nature of another's suffering."
"No. But you can try your damnedest not to worsen it.”
― Esi Edugyan, Washington Black

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke
