“Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made.”

“I was willing to do it. was determined to do it. By the end of the day, that had become my reaction to all of the signs of hard things ahead - a new purposefulness, hardy resolve.

I would have the best of it, I decided, whatever the obstacles.”

― Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life

“Do you want to achieve something or do you just want to make money?” asked a nearby man in a white shirt to another man in a striped shirt. I waited for the answer as I slowly walked past them.
