“Why can’t healing happen as quickly as wounding? You twist an ankle, break a bone — you can be hurt in a heartbeat. Hour by hour, week by week, year by year, the cells in your body labor to remake themselves the way they were the instant before your injury. But even then you’re never the same: not quite.”
— Anthony Doerr, Cloud Cuckoo Land

One of the first signs of the beginning of understanding is the wish to die. This life appears unbearable, another unattainable. One is no longer ashamed of wanting to die; one asks to be moved from the old cell, which one hates, to a new one, which one will only in time come to hate. In this there is also a residue of belief that during the move the master will chance to come along the corridor, look at the prisoner and say: "This man is not to be locked up again, He is to come with me.”
— Franz Kafka, Blue Octavo Notebooks

There are two types of effort. The things that you do because you love them and the things that you do so that they will love you. Do the things out of love, not for love.

“I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It’s not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel all alone.”

I don't want to regret the things that I haven't done and the things that haven't happened yet. Some things are not bound to happen because the best is yet to come. There will always be a contingency plan—that's a way to go—whenever the plan A flops.
