If you can’t get off the bus, you might as well enjoy the ride.

Maybe middle-aged people rarely go out because their houses are too nice to leave.

“Plants don’t mind who you are, what you’ve done, or what you’ve forgotten. If you visit them frequently and look at them properly, you’ll sense what they need. People are the same—you don’t need to know someone’s entire history to know when they need a hug.”

“The older you get, the more you encounter grief, pain, and disappointment. Anyone who hasn’t, it is coming for them.”
