“Many of us spend half our time wishing for things we could have if we didn’t spend half our time wishing.”
“Monotonous and thankless as her job can be sometimes, she cheers at the thought of her coworkers - a dozen of them crammed into their little offices in the basement - all cleverly disguised as harmless geeks, all capable of saving the world if called upon.”
“If to love each other is the job, then the happy life is the salary.”

“We spend half of our lives preparing to live-instead of just living.”
