    Why am I dying to live,
    If I am just living to die?”

    Calvin Coolidge
    “Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On!' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”

    Katja Millay
    “People like to say love is unconditional, but it's not, and even if it was unconditional, it's still never free. There's always an expectation attached. They always want something in return. Like they want you to be happy or whatever and that makes you automatically responsible for their happiness because they won't be happy unless you are ... I just don't want that responsibility.”

    Kahlil Gibran
    “The deeper that sorrow carves into your being,
    the more joy you can contain.

    And is not the lute that soothes your spirits the very wood that was hollowed with knives?”
    ― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
