Quotes by Jillian Sullivan (?)

“And underneath everything, whatever phase the world has gone into, there must be artists, there must be musicians, there must be writers. They are the ones who remind people of hope. They remind people of the small fragile moments of life, how the best in us can live when the fear is in the streets.”
― Jillian Sullivan, A Guide to Creating - A Book of Soul Wisdom

Jillian’s Quotes

“The ending shouldn't determine the meaning of anything, a story or a life. Logically, I don't think it can--didn't Heidegger say something to that effect? That the meaning of all our moments cannot be contingent upon an end-point over which we have no control? That if we are happy right now, that means something, even if we die tomorrow? Narrative integrity is overrated. I don't need to know that the story of my life has a happy ending to enjoy it. A good thing, too, because I hear all the characters die in the end.”
― Alexa Stevenson
