James Baldwin

“It's so hard to forget pain, but it's even harder to remember sweetness. We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Diary

Haruki Murakami
“It's like Tolstoy said. Happiness is an allegory, unhappiness a story.”
Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

Leo Tolstoy
“In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you.”
Leo Tolstoy

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn
“I believe that everything happens for a reason.

Marilyn Monroe
