John Green
“Your now is not your forever.”
John Green, Turtles All the Way Down

Anton Chekhov
“let us learn to appreciate there will be times when the trees will be bare, and look forward to the time when we may pick the fruit.”
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov

Jean Giono
“For a human character to reveal truly exceptional qualities, one must have the good fortune to be able to observe its performance over many years. If this performance is devoid of all egoism, if its guiding motive is unparalleled generosity, if it is absolutely certain that there is no thought of recompense and that, in addition, it has left its visible mark upon the earth, then there can be no mistake.”
Jean Giono, The Man Who Planted Trees

Jhumpa Lahiri
“That's the thing about books. They let you travel without moving your feet.”
Jhumpa Lahiri, The Namesake

Jean Giono
“Creation seemed to come about in a sort of chain reaction. He did not worry about it; he was determinedly pursuing his task in all its simplicity; but as we went back towards the village I saw water flowing in Brooks that had been dry since the memory of man. This was the most impressive result of chain reaction that I had seen. These dry streams had once, long ago, run with water.”
Jean Giono, The Man Who Planted Trees
