Book cover for Just for the Summer (Part of Your World, #3)
“Be glad you don’t get it. It means your life has been a lot gentler than hers.”

Julian Barnes
“How often do we tell our own life story? How often do we adjust, embellish, make sly cuts? And the longer life goes on, the fewer are those around to challenge our account, to remind us that our life is not our life, merely the story we have told about our life. Told to others, but—mainly—to ourselves.”
Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending

Patti Smith
“Nothing can be truly replicated. Not a love, not a jewel, not a single line.”
Patti Smith, M Train

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“Of all the words of mice and men, the saddest are, “It might have been.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Cat's Cradle

Rainer Maria Rilke
“In this there is no measuring with time, a year doesn’t matter, and ten years are nothing. Being an artist means: not numbering and counting, but ripening like a tree, which doesn’t force its sap, and stands confidently in the storms of spring, not afraid that afterward summer may not come. It does come. But it comes only to those who are patient, who are there as if eternity lay before them, so unconcernedly silent and vast. I learn it every day of my life, learn it with pain I am grateful for: patience is everything!”
Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

Mitch Albom
“The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in. Let it come in. We think we don’t deserve love, we think if we let it in we’ll become too soft. But a wise man named Levin said it right. He said, “Love is the only rational act.”
Mitch Albom, Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson
