Every time a thought goes through your head it changes your whole being. Some thoughts change you only a little; some thoughts change you a great deal. But all of them change you.

Said by Phillip in Spell or High Water by Scott MeyerI say free will and imagination are deeply linked, and if you don't believe you have one it just means that you lack the other.

From chapter 19 of Great Expectations by Charles DickensHeaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts.

Here's what I do when I'm feeling down. I get very quiet and very still and I say to myself, 'Everyone in the world is as miserable and empty as I am...they're just better at pretending.'

-William Faulker, The Sound and the FuryWhen the shadow of the sash appeared on the curtains it was between seven and eight o' clock and then I was in time again, hearing the watch. It was Grandfather's and when Father gave it to me he said I give you the mausoleum of all hope and desire; it's rather excruciating-ly apt that you will use it to gain the reducto absurdum of all human experience which can fit your individual needs no better than it fitted his or his father's. I give it to you not that you may remember time, but that you might forget it now and then for a moment and not spend all your breath trying to conquer it. Because no battle is ever won he said. They are not even fought. The field only reveals to man his own folly and despair, and victory is an illusion of philosophers and fools.
ooooo I love this one. It's so sad. I love the touches like the mispronunciation of "reducto absurdum" and how dreamy the whole thing feels.

I remember this quote making me stop for a good moment and just think.We're all human, aren't we? Every human life is worth the same, and worth saving.
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
This quote hit me really hard, the word isn’t just good and bad (black and white), we all have shades of grey.The world isn’t split into good people and Death Eaters.
