Quote by Charles Yu

“Worry was my mother's mechanic, her mechanism for engaging with the machinery of living. Worry was an anchor for her, a hook, something to clutch on to in the world. Worry was a box to live inside of, worry a mechanism for evading the present, for re-creating the past, for dealing with the future.”

But we must be spiritually receptive; we have to be willing and ready to learn. When we know that we do not know, everything is possible.”
