“I would like to potter about, hopefully putting more good than bad into the world and finding ways to be of service, but otherwise raising my child, cultivating my garden, and enjoying the company of my family and friends and the many magnificent, tattered volumes on my bookshelves.”

“I tremble, I quiver, like the leaf in the hedge, as I sit dangling my feet, on the edge of the bed, with a new day to break open. I have fifty years, I have sixty years to spend. I have not yet broken into my hoard. This is the beginning.”
― Virginia Woolf, The Waves

“Religion for her had always been a source of hope, resilience and love - a lift that carried her up from the basement of darkness into a spiritual light. It pained her that the same lift could just as easily take others all the way down. The teachings that warmed her heart and brought her closer to all humanity, regardless of creed, colour or nationality, could be interpreted in such a way that they divided, confused and separated human beings, sowing seeds of enmity and bloodshed.”
― Elif Shafak, 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World
