“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”
― Arundhati Roy, The Cost of Living

“Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.”
― Mark Twain

“We accept the love we think we deserve.”
― Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

“Folks are usually about as happy as they make their minds up to be.”
― Abraham Lincoln
