“And most of all, books. They were, in and of themselves, reasons to stay alive. Every book written is the product of a human mind in a particular state.

― Matt Haig, Reasons to Stay Alive

“Try to believe that maybe more light shines out of those who have the most cracks.”

“I hope she'll be a fool -- that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
