“The only order in the universe is just a cycle of calm and chaos.” 

I feel like I’ve swallowed a cloudy sky.

No, emptiness is not nothingness. Emptiness is a type of existence. You must use this existential emptiness to fill yourself.

-Liu Cixin, The Three-Body Problem

“The beginning is always today.” 

“The great Gaels of Ireland are the men that God made mad, For all their wars are merry, and all their songs are sad.” 

“To feel that one has a place in life solves half the problems of contentment.“

“If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character…Would you slow down? Or speed up? “

I wish I had the courage not to fight and doubt everything… I wish, just once, I could say, ‘This. This is good enough.‘ 

Do it or don’t. It’s amazing how many things in life are that easy. 

-Henry Rollins

“Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.” 

“Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.” 

“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.”
