At the end of the days , whether one returns to the past or travels to the future, the present doesn't change."
_ Before the Coffee Gets Cold, by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

"When you're looking for love and it seems like you might not ever find it, remember you probably have access to an abundance of it already, just not the romantic kind. This kind of love might not kiss you in the rain or propose marriage. But it will listen to you, inspire and restore you. It will hold you when you cry, celebrate when you're happy, and sing All Saints with you when you're drunk. You have so much to gain and learn from this kind of love."
- Everything I Know About Love, by Dolly Alderton

"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it."
To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee

"To find happiness, do what you enjoy. All of you should find something you enjoy doing, something that makes you excited. Instead of pursuing what is recognised and valued by society, do what you like. If you can find it, you'll not waver easily, no matter what others think. Be brave.

" Forgive me, for all the things I did but mostly for the ones that I did not."
