“No, the Arctic does not yield its secret for the price of a ship's ticket. You must live through the long night, the storms, and the destruction of human pride. You must have gazed on the deadness of all things to grasps their livingness. In the return of light, in the magic of the ice, in the life-rhythm of the animals observed in the wilderness, in the natural laws of all being, revealed here in their completeness, lies the secret of the Arctic and the overpowering beauty of its lands.”
Christiane Ritter, A Woman in the Polar Night

Wendell Berry
“I should ask, in the first place, whether or not I wish to purchase a solution to a problem that I do not have.”
Wendell Berry, Why I Am Not Going to Buy a Computer

Philippe Besson
“I don't know then that one day I won't be seventeen. I don't know that youth doesn't last, that it's only a moment, and then it disappears and by the time you finally realize it, it's too late. It's finished, vanished, lost. There are some around me who can sense it; the adults repeat it constantly but I don't listen. Their words roll over me but don't stick. Like water off the feathers of a duck's back. I'm an idiot. An easygoing idiot.”
Philippe Besson, Lie With Me

“You keep asking why your work is not enough, and I don’t know how to answer that, because it is enough to exist in the world and marvel at it. You don’t need to justify that, or earn it. You are allowed to just live.”
Becky Chambers, A Psalm for the Wild-Built

Robin Hobb
“And tomorrow we'll do the same again. And again. Until one day you get up and find out that whatever it was didn't kill you after all.”
Robin Hobb, Assassin's Apprentice
