Simone

“Closing your eyes isn't going to change anything. Nothing's going to disappear just because you can't see what's going on. In fact, things will even be worse the next time you open your eyes. That's the kind of world we live in. Keep your eyes wide open. Only a coward closes his eyes. Closing your eyes and plugging up your ears won't make time stand still.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“Everything you can imagine is real.”
― Pablo Picasso

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”
― Winston S. Churchill

“Don't think or judge, just listen.”
― Sarah Dessen, Just Listen
