Miss Benson's Beetle | Rachel Joyce

“Look how marvelously different we are, you and I, and yet here we are, together in this strange world!”

quote

You don‘t need to be a romantic to take a moral cue from the observation that diversity and flexibility seem inherent in everything that is healthy and beautiful.

Fleishman Is in Trouble: A Novel | Taffy Brodesser-Akner

What a strange thing, a lack of darkness.

Less: A Novel | Andrew Sean Greer

Strange, though; because he is afraid of everything, nothing is harder than anything else. Taking a trip around the world is no more terrifying than buying a stick of gum.

"To a parent, your child wasn't just a person: your child was a place, a kind of Narnia, a vast eternal place where the present you were living and the past you remembered and the future you longed for all existed at once."

Never mess with someone who has more spare time than you do.

"Granny says people who think slowly always accuse quick thinkers of concentration problems. 'Idiots can't understand that non-idiots are done with a thought and already moving on to the next before they themselves have. That's why idiots are always so scared and aggressive. Because nothing scares idiots more than a smart girl.'"

Ripper | Isabel Allende

"Everything happens simultaneously, she thought to herself; time does not exist, there are no limits in space, we are part of the spiritual whole that embraces all the souls of previous incarnations, the spirits of the past and of the future. We are tiny drops in one great ocean.."

Before the Fall | Noah Hawley

"What if the most traumatic or the most beautiful experiences we have trap us in a kind of feedback loop, where at least some part of our minds remains obsessed, even as our bodies move on?"

quote

We all have demons in the dark recesses of our soul, but if we bring them out into the light, they grow smaller and weaker, they fall silent and eventually leave us in peace.

In the end, what really matters? Only kindness. Only making somebody a little happier for your presence
