Gabriel García Márquez
“The secret of a good old age is simply an honorable pact with solitude.”
Gabriel García Márquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude

John  Green
“One of the strange things about adulthood is that you are your current self, but you are also all the selves you used to be, the ones you grew out of but can't ever quite get rid of.”
John Green, The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet
