“It is the nature of stone to be satisfied. It is the nature of water to want to be somewhere else.”
― Mary Oliver

“You have to serve those who need to be served, not just the ones who make you feel good about yourself.”
― Ann Patchett, The Dutch House

“This was exactly why they'd failed: never being satisfied with what a person had to give, always expecting so much sacrifice that you had to hate yourself for anything less.”

“Most people can motivate themselves to do things simply by knowing that those things need to be done. But not me. For me, motivation is this horrible, scary game where I try to make myself do something while I actively avoid doing it. If I win, I have to do something I don't want to do. And if I lose, I'm one step closer to ruining my entire life. And I never know whether I'm going to win or lose until the last second.”
