“You know what, sometimes it seems to me we're living in a world that we fabricate for ourselves. We decide what's good and what isn't, we draw maps of meanings for ourselves... And then we spend our whole lives struggling with what we have invented for ourselves. The problem is that each of us has our own version of it, so people find it hard to understand each other.”
― Olga Tokarczuk, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead

“That might be the worst thing about death: it doesn't stop anything. The world keeps moving, even though the pain is just as real as the day it settled in.”
― Jessica Johns, Bad Cree

“Men often think they deserve a sticker for treating women like people.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, Daisy Jones & The Six

“You have no power over your thoughts,
but you do over your words.
You have no power over your feelings,
but you do over your deeds.
You have no power over your circumstances,
but you do over your response.
You have no power over your reality,
but you do over your reaction.
You have no power over your background,
but you do over your perspective.
You have no power over your birth,
but you do over your experiences.

You have no power over your past,
but you do over your present.
You have no power over your history,
but you do over your future.
You have no power over your fortune,
but you do over your actions.
You have no power over your reputation,
but you do over your character.
You have no power over your destiny,
but you do over yourself.
You have no power over anyone,
but you do over your world.”
― Matshona Dhliwayo
