“There are some who say that you should forgive everyone, even the people who
have disappointed you immeasurably. There are others who say you should not forgive anyone, and should stomp off in a huff no matter how many times they apologize.
Of these two philosophies, the second one is of course much more fun, but it can also grow exhausting to stomp off in a huff every time someone has disappointed you, as everyone disappoints everyone eventually, and one can’t stomp off in a huff every minute of the day.”
― Lemony Snicket, The Penultimate Peril

“Depression is like a heaviness that you can’t ever escape. It crushes down on you, making even the smallest things like tying your shoes or chewing on toast seem like a twenty-mile hike uphill. Depression is a part of you; it’s in your bones and your blood. If I know anything about it, this is what I know: It’s impossible to escape.”
― Jasmine Warga, My Heart and Other Black Holes

“You know what makes me feel down? The way you keep promising to live some kind of a life, then sacrifice yourself to every waif and stray who comes across your path.”
― Jojo Moyes, After You

“guess my point is that the world doesn’t care about people’s heartbreak stories, Kate. People don’t stop living their lives because one person can’t deal with what the universe handed to him. I have to say this to myself over and over. Maybe then I’ll realize sooner that none of this matters anymore. That forgetting your book was my brain’s way of telling me to move along with my life, that maybe I shouldn’t always keep re-reading old books I already know the ending to, that there are so many new books I could read, and that new books and people and opportunities will continue to sprout and they will keep on happening, even if I think that my life is in a standstill.”
