“Alex was alone, and the one thing she still had was the freedom to follow the narrative that suited her best.” —Kiley Reid, Such a Fun Age

If you aim to be something you are not, you will always fail. Aim to be you. Aim to look and act and think like you. Aim to be the truest version of you. Embrace that you-ness. Endorse it. Love it. Work hard at it. And don't give a second thought when people mock it or ridicule it. Most gossip is envy in disguise. Keep your head down. Keep your stamina. Keep swimming. - The Midnight Library, Chapter 23

The paradox of volcanoes was that they were symbols of destruction but also life. Once the lava slows and cools, it solidifies and then breaks down over time to become soil – rich, fertile soil. She wasn't a black hole, she decided. She was a volcano. And like a volcano she couldn't run away from herself. She'd have to stay there and tend to that wasteland. She could plant a forest inside herself. - The Midnight Library, Chapter 72

Before writing my review, i just wanna say this book “The Midnight Library” is a GEM 💎. No wonder this book is a winner of Goodreads Choice Award for Fiction (2020) . This book is beautiful, magical and very inspiring. I think everyone need to read this book no matter what situation you are in because it’s such a moving and thought provoking and somehow you can relate to the story . Many of us have felt the way Nora Seed has, so this books is very meaningful to me and i gonna remember the lesson it has given to me. This is definitely one of my best reading if 2021. And one last quote, ‘the only way to learn is to live.” The Midnight library

I don't think the scale of other people's problems make your own any easier to live with.
