John Green

This life is a hard fact; work your way through it boldly, though it may be adamantine; no matter, the soul is stronger.

Things will happen in life that you can't stop. But, that's no reason to shut out the world.

Pete Sims

When spring came, even the false spring, there were no problems except where to be happiest. The only thing that could spoil a day was people and if you could keep from making engagements, each day had no limits. People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself.

Ernest Hemingway
