Joy’s Quotes

“Don't cry over the shots you've missed; weep over the ones you've not taken at all. The bitterest regrets are for things planned but left undone!”
― Israelmore Ayivor, Daily Drive 365

“When she enters the room she immediately shuts the window and draws the shade with a quick, hard pull. Then she throws herself down on the bed, and the sobbing starts all over again.

― Stig Dagerman, Sleet: Selected Stories
