“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

“All of us steal our lives. A little here, a little there. Some of it given, most of it taken. We wear ourselves like a coat of many patches, fraying at the edges, in constant repair. While we shore up one belief, we let go another. We are the stories we tell to ourselves. Nothing more.”
― Mark Lawrence, The Book That Wouldn’t Burn

“Books, in the plural lose their solidity of substance and become a gas, filling all available space.”
― John Derbyshire

“Language is like a tree, it grows and changes. Too slowly for us to see and yet we know it was once a seed small enough to be lost in the breadth of our palm. And we know that it will one day topple and die and rot away.”
― Mark Lawrence
