Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead
“I
am convinced that human life is filled with many pure, happy, serene examples
of insincerity, truly splendid of their kind-of people deceiving one another
without (strangely enough) any wounds being inflicted, of people who seem
unaware even that they are deceiving one another.”

were born with potential.
You
were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You

You
have wings.
Learn
to use them and fly.”

“No
one should ever ask themselves that: why am I unhappy? The question carries
within it the virus that will destroy everything. If we ask that question, it
means we want to find out what makes us happy. If what makes us happy is
different from what we have now, then we must either change once and for all or
stay as we are, feeling even more unhappy.”

“It
scares me how hard it is to remember life before you. I can't even make the
comparisons anymore, because my memories of that time have all the depth of a
photograph. It seems foolish to play games of better and worse. It's simply a
matter of is and is no longer.”

“One
of the most spiritual things you can do is embrace your humanity. Connect with
those around you today. Say, "I love you", "I'm sorry",
"I appreciate you", "I'm proud of you"...whatever you're
feeling. Send random texts, write a cute note, embrace your truth and share it...cause
a smile today for someone else...and give plenty of hugs.”

your obstacles into opportunities and your problems into possibilities.”

Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
“Most
things are forgotten over time. Even the war itself, the life-and-death
struggle people went through is now like something from the distant past. We’re
so caught up in our everyday lives that events of the past are no longer in
orbit around our minds. There are just too many things we have to think about
everyday, too many new things we have to learn. But still, no matter how much
time passes, no matter what takes place in the interim, there are some things
we can never assign to oblivion, memories we can never rub away. They remain
with us forever, like a touchstone.”
―
haruki murakami, Kafka on the Shore

Colleen Hoover, All Your Perfects
“We
only need to be one person.
We
only need to feel one existence.
We
don't have to do everything in order to be everything, because we are already
infinite. While we are alive we always contain a future of multifarious
possibility.”
―
Matt Haig, The Midnight Library
“Life
is not a PG feel-good movie. Real life often ends badly. Literature tries to
document this reality, while showing us it is still possible for us to endure
nobly.”
―
Matthew Quick, The Silver Linings Playbook
