“It is a gift we humans have, to hold on to beauty felt in a moment for a lifetime.”

“Though wrong gratifies in the moment, good yields its gifts over a lifetime.”

“Like the minor poet who knows the meanness of his gift, I am doomed to a lifetime of frustration: to be able to comprehend beauty, but not create it.”

“Love is terrifying and hard and awful but it’s also amazing and beautiful, and there’s something about us, as humans, that wants that perfect relationship even though we know it’s probably unattainable, and even if we do manage to get it, holding on to t, helping it grow into something that will last a lifetime, well… it’s daunting in its impossibility.”

“Life is unjust and this is what makes it so beautiful. Every day is a gift. Be brave and take hold of it.”

“We walk alone through this world, but if we're lucky, we have a moment of belonging to something, to someone, that sustains us through a lifetime of loneliness.”
