“How you live your life is your business, just remember, our hearts and our bodies are given to us only once. And before you know it, your heart is worn out, and, as for your body, there comes a point when no one looks at it, much less wants to come near it. Right now, there's sorrow, pain. Don't kill it and with it the joy you've felt.”

-Call me by your Name by André Aciman (Totally recommend this book to anyone who is willing and capable of appreciating pure and subtle ways of showing love, care and tenacity in life!)

“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”

- Matthew 6:34

I could go on like this forever, but would I ever find a place that was meant for me? Like, for example, where? After lengthy considerations, the only place I could think of was the cockpit of a two-seater Kamikaze torpedo-plane. (Of all the dumb ideas. In the first place, all the torpedo-planes were scrapped thirty years ago.)

“We live in the best of all possible worlds” – Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,

Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt,

It lies behind stars and under hills,

And empty holes it fills,

It comes first and follows after,

Ends life, kills laughter.

-J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

“Time is free, but it’s priceless. You can’t own it, but you can use it. You can’t keep it, but you can spend it. Once you’ve lost it you can never get it back.”

-Harvey Mackay

Behind every exquisite thing that existed, there was always something tragic.

- Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.

—Khalil Gibran

Oftentimes solitude is the only remedy for the soul.
