'Without a reason, why bother? Existence needs purpose: to be able to endure the pain of life with dignity; to give us a reason to continue. The meaning must enter our hearts, not out heads. We must understand the meaning of our suffering.”

― Kazuo Ishiguro, The Buried Giant

“Anyone can grow into something beautiful.”
