All I do is keep on running in my own cozy, homemade void, my own nostalgic silence. And this is a pretty wonderful thing. No matter what anybody else says.

Haruki Murakami

Take a shower, wash off the day. Drink a glass of water. Make the room dark. Lie down and close your eyes. Notice the silence. Notice your heart. Still beating. Still fighting. You made it, after all. You made it, another day. And you can make it one more. You're doing just fine.

Charlotte Eriksson

Be the person you are. Never try to be another, and you will become mature. Maturity is accepting the responsibility of being oneself, whatsoever the cost. Risking all to be oneself, that's what maturity is all about.

Osho

The most important things in life are measured internally. You have an inner scoreboard. Playing to someone else's scoreboard is easy. But when you look up at the end after winning, you'll feel empty as you discover you won the wrong game. Play your own game.

Shane Parrish

Judge a tree from its fruit, not from its leaves.

Euripides

If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.

Cicero
