That’s what a real life is all about.”
― Joshua Fields Millburn, Minimalism: Live a Meaningful Life

And to understand the workings of our own heart we have to keep on making new reference cards. We have to dust things off every once in awhile, let in fresh air, change the water in the flower vases. In other words, you'll live forever in your own private library.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
