“One heart is not connected to another through harmony alone. They are, instead, linked deeply through their wounds. Pain linked to pain, fragility to fragility. There is no silence without a cry of grief, no forgiveness without bloodshed, no acceptance without a passage through acute loss. That is what lies at the root of true harmony.”
― Haruki Murakami, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage

“The voice of the sea is seductive, never ceasing, whispering, clamoring, murmuring, inviting the soul to wander in abysses of solitude.”
― Kate Chopin, The Awakening

“People whose freedom is taken away always end up hating somebody.”
― Haruki Murakami, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage

“For last year's words belong to last year's language
And next year's words await another voice.”
― T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets
