“I cannot pretend I am without fear. But my predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved; I have been given much and I have given something in return; I have read and traveled and thought and written. I have had an intercourse with the world, the special intercourse of writers and readers.

Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and adventure.”
― Oliver Sacks, Gratitude

“You have no responsibility to live up to what other people think you ought to accomplish. I have no responsibility to be like they expect me to be. It's their mistake, not my failing.”
― Richard P. Feynman, Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!: Adventures of a Curious Character

“I also don’t care if heaven exists or not. But even if it doesn’t exist...I think it’s something that should. It’s more convenient that way. The final destination for those who kept on living despite all of life’s hardships shouldn’t be oblivion. Wouldn’t it be nicer to think that they’re indulging in luxury up in heaven?”
― Kanehito Yamada, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, Vol. 1-5

“Instead of worrying about what you cannot control, shift your energy to what you can create.”
― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
