“Perfection is everywhere if we only choose to recognise it.”
― Kakuzō Okakura, The Book of Tea

“To state quite simply what we learn in time of pestilence: that there are more things to admire in men than to despise.”

“What refuge is there for the victim who is oppressed with the feeling that there are a thousand new books he ought to read, while life is only long enough for him to attempt to read a hundred?”

“And this means that time is a mystery, and not even a thing, and no one has ever solved the puzzle of what time is, exactly. and so, if you get lost in time it is like being lost in a desert, except that you can't see the desert because it is not a thing. And this is why I like timetables, because they make sure you don't get lost in time”
― Mark Haddon, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
