― Joyce Carol Oates

― Paulo Coelho

“Because I don't live in either my past or my future. I'm interested only in the present. If you can concentrate on the present, you will be a happy man. You'll see that there is life in the desert, that there are stars in the heavens, and that tribesman fight because they are part of the human race. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we are living right now.”
― Paulo Coelho

“Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.”
― Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird
