“It reminds me of that saying: “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” I guess that means we’re just products of whoever made us and we don’t have much control. The thing is, when people use that phrase, they ignore the most critical part: the falling. Within the logic of that saying, the apple falls every single time. Not falling isn’t an option. So, if the apple has to fall, the most important question in my mind is what happens to it upon hitting the ground? Does it touch down with barely a scratch? Or does it smash on impact? Two vastly different fates. When you think about it, who cares about its proximity to the tree or what type of tree spawned it? What really makes all the difference, then, is how we land.”
Val Emmich, Dear Evan Hansen

“Home isn’t always a place is it?”
Charlie Mackesy, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse

“What do you want to be when you grow up?"

"Kind," said the boy.”

“Maybe, someday, some other kid is going to be standing here, staring out at the trees, feeling alone, wondering if maybe the world might look different from all the way up there. Better. Maybe he’ll start climbing, one branch at a time, and he’ll keep going, even when it seems like he can’t find another foothold. Even when it feels hopeless. Like everything is telling him to let go. Maybe this time he won’t let go. This time he’ll hold on. He’ll keep going.”
Val Emmich, Dear Evan Hansen

“Do you have any other advice?" asked the boy.

"Don't measure how valuable you are by the way you are treated," said the horse.”
Charlie Mackesy, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse
