Hermann Hesse
“Some of us think holding on makes us strong but sometimes it is letting go”
Herman Hesse

“We both instinctively knew never to share weakness until we understood it. 'Share only strength' was an unspoken motto between us.”
Brian Keenan, An Evil Cradling

“They are afraid of us because we are not afraid of them”
Berta Cáceres

Ray Bradbury
“Some people turn sad awfully young. No special reason, it seems, but they seem almost to be born that way. They bruise easier, tire faster, cry quicker, remember longer and, as I say, get sadder younger than anyone else in the world. I know, for I'm one of them.”
Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine

Ursula K. Le Guin
“We're in the world, not against it. It doesn't work to try to stand
outside things and run them, that way. It just doesn't work, it goes against life. There is a way but you have to follow it. The world is, no matter how we think it ought to be. You have to be with it. You have to let it be.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven
