Hermann Hesse
“Learn what is to be taken seriously and laugh at the rest.”
Herman Hesse

M.L. Stedman
“You only have to forgive once. To resent, you have to do it all day, every day. You have to keep remembering all the bad things.”
M. L. Stedman, The Light Between Oceans

Edith Wharton
“Set wide the window. Let me drink the day.”
Edith Wharton, Artemis to Actaeon and Other Verses

Eleanor Roosevelt
“Do the things that interest you and do them with all your heart. Don't be concerned about whether people are watching you or criticizing you. The chances are that they aren't paying any attention to you. It's your attention to yourself that is so stultifying. But you have to disregard yourself as completely as possible. If you fail the first time then you'll just have to try harder the second time. After all, there's no real reason why you should fail. Just stop thinking about yourself.”
Eleanor Roosevelt, You Learn by Living: Eleven Keys for a More Fulfilling Life

M.L. Stedman
“Humans withdraw to their homes, and surrender the night to the creatures that own it: the crickets, the owls, the snakes. A world that hasn't changed for hundreds of thousands of years wakes up, and carries on as if the daylight and the humans and the changes to the landscape have all been an illusion.”
M.L. Stedman, The Light Between Oceans
