“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want?

― Leila Sales, This Song Will Save Your Life

“What and how much had I lost by trying to do only what was expected of me instead of what I myself had wished to do?”
