“Lo que yo deseo, la fuerza que yo busco, no es aquella que te lleva a ganar o a perder. Tampoco quiero una muralla para repeler las fuerzas que lleguen del exterior. Lo que yo deseo es una fuerza que me permita ser capaz de recibir todo cuanto proceda del exterior y resistirlo. Fortaleza para resistir en silencio cosas como la injusticia, el infortunio, la tristeza, los equívocos, las incomprensiones.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka en la orilla

“Do you ever think "how did I end up here?" Like you are in a maze and totally lost and it's all your fault because you were the one who made every turn? And you know that there are many routes that could have helped you out, because you hear all the people on the outside of the maze who made it through, and they are laughing and smiling. And sometimes you get a glimpse of them through the hedge. A fleeting shape through the leaves. And they seem so damn happy to have made it and you don't resent them, but you do resent yourself for not having their ability to work it all out. Do you? Or is this maze just for me?”
― Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

“If bravery is the wind that makes us soar like kites, fear is the string that keeps us from going too far.”
― Brandon Sanderson, Tress of the Emerald Sea

“Arráncale lo que puedas al mundo mientras te lo ofrezca, porque somos todo carne, todo polvo, escritura en la arena, desaparecida en un abrir y cerrar de ojos. No se puede dejar para mañana, porque mañana tus esperanzas no floreceran todas de golpe, mañana será más o menos igual que hoy. Ni el momento ni el lugar.”
― Joe Abercrombie, The Devils
