“A book is really like a lover. It arranges itself in your life in a way that is beautiful.”
― Maurice Sendak

“Pleasure to me is wonder—the unexplored, the unexpected, the thing that is hidden and the changeless thing that lurks behind superficial mutability.”
― H.P. Lovecraft

“I don't believe in the hero that sets out to climb a mountain and achieves it with no setbacks. I he does, he obviously didn't set his goals high enough and shouldn't even have anything to be proud of. He didn't challenge himself enough. He might have learned a thing or two, but the real lessons are taught when you're balancing on the very edge, with one foot over the cliff, everyone expecting you to fall. That's when you realise your potential. Or rather, how far away from your own potential you actually are.”
― Charlotte Eriksson, Empty Roads & Broken Bottles: in search for The Great Perhaps

“The world is a story we tell ourselves about the world.”
― Vikram Chandra
