“I love borders. August is the border between summer and autumn; it is the most beautiful month I know.

― Tove Jansson

“To let a sad thought or a bad one get into your mind is as dangerous as letting a scarlet fever germ get into your body. If you let it stay there after it has got in you may never get over it as long as you live.”
