“Career is different. Career is the stringing together of opportunities and jobs. Mix in public opinion and past regrets. Add a dash of future panic and a whole lot of financial uncertainty. Career is something that fools you into thinking you are in control and then takes pleasure in reminding you that you aren’t. Career is the thing that will not fill you up and never make you truly whole. Depending on your career is like eating cake for breakfast and wondering why you start crying an hour later.”
― Amy Poehler, Yes Please

“I want to have conversations about real things with people who have experienced real things. I’m tired of talking about movies and gossiping about friends. Life is crunchy and complicated and all the more delicious.”
― Amy Poehler, Yes Please

“Great people do things before they’re ready. They do things before they know they can do it. And by doing it, they’re proven right. Because, I think there’s something inside of you—and inside of all of us—when we see something and we think, ‘I think I can do it, I think I can do it. But I’m afraid to.’ Bridging that gap, doing what you’re afraid of, getting out of your comfort zone, taking risks like that—THAT is what life is. And I think you might be really good. You might find out something about yourself that’s special. And if you’re not good, who cares? You tried something. Now you know something about yourself. Now you know. A mystery is solved. So, I think you should just give it a try. Just inch yourself out of that back line. Step into life. Courage. Risks. Yes. Go. Now.”
― Amy Poehler , Yes Please

“most importantly love
like it’s the only thing you know how
at the end of the day all this
means nothing
this page
where you’re sitting
your degree
your job
the money
nothing even matters
except love and human connection
who you loved
and how deeply you loved them
how you touched the people around you
and how much you gave them”
― Rupi Kaur, Milk and Honey

“Magic doesn't come from talent, it comes from pain.”
― Lev Grossman, The Magicians

“Consider this: which is greater, God or the world?” They say, for they have learned this already from the nuns, “God is greater, because God created the world.” Eve says, “So the one who creates is greater than the thing created?” They say, “It must be so.” Then Eve says, “So which must be greater, the Mother or the Son?”
― Naomi Alderman, The Power

“look at the kerning. It’s too even.” “The what?” Bethany asks. “Kerning. The spacing between the individual letter forms,” Sandeep explains. “It’s a typography term.” Bethany rolls her eyes as she gets up and heads back to her desk. “You’re such a nerd.” “It’s not nerdy to care about fonts!” Sandeep calls after her. “Typography is an art form.”
