“We musn't forget old people with their rotten bodies, old people who are so close to death, something that young people don't want to think about. We musn't forget that our bodies decline, friends die, everyone forgets about us, and the end is solitude. Nor must we forget that these old people were young once, that a lifespan is pathetically short, that one day you're twenty and the next day you're eighty.”
― Muriel Barbery, The Elegance of the Hedgehog

“When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“Never make someone a priority when all you are to them is an option.”
― Maya Angelou

“We never look beyond our assumptions and what's worse, we have given up trying to meet others; we just meet ourselves.”
― Muriel Barbery
