“In white culture, forgiveness is synonymous with letting go. In my culture, I believe we carry pain until we can reconcile with it through ceremony. Pain is not framed like a problem with a solution. I don’t even know that white people see transcendence the way we do. I’m not sure that their dichotomies apply to me.”
― Terese Marie Mailhot, Heart Berries

“When I give up the fish, I get, at long last, that thing I had been searching for: a mantra, a trick, a prescription for hope. I get the promise that there are good things in store. Not because I deserve them. Not because I worked for them. But because they are as much a part of Chaos as destruction and loss. Life, the flip side of death. Growth, of rot.”
― Lulu Miller, Why Fish Don't Exist: A Story of Loss, Love, and the Hidden Order of Life

“Hapiness was never important. The problem is that we don't know what we really want. What makes us happy is not to get what we want. But to dream about it. Hapiness is for opportunists. So I think the only life of deep satisfaction is a life of eternal struggle, specially struggle with oneself. If you want to be happy, just remain stupid. Authentic masters are never happy, hapiness is a category of slaves.”
― Zlazloj Zlizlek
