Living
is Easy
“We
are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school,
the teachers - but never blame yourself. It's never your fault. But it's always
your fault, because if you wanted to change you're the one who has got to
change.”

“Listen
to the people who love you. Believe that they are worth living for even when
you don't believe it. Seek out the memories depression takes away and project
them into the future. Be brave; be strong; take your pills. Exercise because
it's good for you even if every step weighs a thousand pounds. Eat when food
itself disgusts you. Reason with yourself when you have lost your reason.”

Andrew Solomon, The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression
“Every
one of us is losing something precious to us. Lost opportunities, lost
possibilities, feelings we can never get back again. That’s part of what it
means to be alive.”

Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
“A
star falls from the sky and into your hands. Then it seeps through your veins
and swims inside your blood and becomes every part of you. And then you have to
put it back into the sky. And it's the most painful thing you'll ever have to
do and that you've ever done. But what's yours is yours. Whether it’s up in the
sky or here in your hands. And one day, it'll fall from the sky and hit you in
the head real hard and that time, you won't have to put it back in the sky
again.”

“Life
seems sometimes like nothing more than a series of losses, from beginning to
end. That's the given. How you respond to those losses, what you make of what's
left, that's the part you have to make up as you go.”

Katharine Weber, The Music Lesson
“Do
I dare
Disturb
the universe?
In a
minute there is time
For decisions
and revisions which a minute will reverse.”

makes big boobs and perkiness so attractive to boys? I mean, really. Two round,
mounds of fat and a fake smile. Yeah, winning attributes.”

“We
are all the pieces of what we remember. We hold in ourselves the hopes and
fears of those who love us. As long as there is love and memory, there is no
true loss.”
