“Sometimes I feel alone. Some days are long and hard. But when I look out into this world, I am struck by the impossible beauty of it all. Those billions of magnificent accidents that led us to where we are today, that led us to paper planes and nautilus shells and the tiny, crooked smiles of children. When I think about the small perfections of the world, I have faith that my time will come. I have faith that someday, a warm light will flood over me and I will find peace.”
― Avery Monsen, All My Friends Are Dead

“I bear the wounds of all the battles I avoided.”
― Fernando Pessoa

“Nothing can make our life, or the lives of other people, more beautiful than perpetual kindness.”
― Leo Tolstoy

“When you’re dying, even your unhappiest memories can induce a sort of fondness, as if delight is not confined to the good times, but is woven through your days like a skein of gold thread.”
― Cory Taylor
