“It’s the loneliest people who love books the most.”

“A real choice doesn't have conditions. A real choice is free.”
― Etaf Rum, A Woman Is No Man

“Too often being happy means being passive or playing it safe. There's no skill required in happiness, no strength of character, nothing extraordinary. Its discontent that drives creation the most--passion, desire, defiance. Revolutions don't come from a place of happiness. If anything, I think it's sadness, or discontent at least, that's at the root of everything beautiful.”
― Etaf Rum, A Woman Is No Man
