Salma Ramzy

“I miss you terribly sometimes, but in general I go on living with all the energy I can muster. Just as you take care of the birds and the fields every morning, every morning I wind my own spring. I give it some 36 good twists by the time I've got up, brushed my teeth, shaved, eaten breakfast, changed my clothes, left the dorm, and arrived at the university. I tell myself, "OK, let's make this day another good one." I hadn't noticed before, but they tell me I talk to myself a lot these days. Probably mumbling to myself while I wind my spring.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

“Man is not worried by real problems so much as by his imagined anxieties about real problems”
― Epictetus

“The punishment of every disordered mind is its own disorder.”
― St. Augustine of Hippo, Confessions

“Our anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strengths.”
― C. H. Spurgeon
