“Often I Wish I Were
a potato.

Eyes opened
in all directions.

Unafraid
of the cold earth.

The difference
between life and death

for somebody.”
― Katerina Stoykova-Klemer, The Air Around the Butterfly / Въздухът около пеперудата

“Above all, don’t lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point where he cannot distinguish the truth within him or around him, and so loses respect for himself. And having no respect, he ceases to love. Fyodor Dostoevsky”
― Mary Karr, The Art of Memoir

“Cultivate an understanding that life is long, that people both change and remain the same, that every last one of us will need to fuck up and be forgiven, that we’re all just walking and walking and walking and trying to find our way, that all roads lead eventually to the mountaintop.”
― Cheryl Strayed, Brave Enough: A Collection of Inspirational Quotes
