“You know how in games you have a save point? No matter what happens you go back to that point when you run out of lives. Meeting him that day was too important. I can't go back beyond that moment.”

“Life does not owe you its justification; rather, you have given life the justification to exist. If no one notices you, love a plant. Nurture it, protect it from storms, protect it from wild creatures and birds, shield it from harsh sunlight, and safeguard it from excessive rainfall. Raise it, let butterflies perch on it. Even if someone else enjoys its fruits, it shouldn't be a cause for concern. Your efforts will never go in vain. You will be granted the justification and reward for staying alive. If nothing else can be done, polish a stone, nurture it, work hard on it, and it will become a mirror of stone. Inside the mirror, the justification of life will be inscribed.”

“Comprehension processes [for young readers] grow.... [when] they leave the surface layers of text to explore the wondrous terrain that lies beneath it. The reading expert Richard Vacca describes this shift as a development from "fluent decoders" to "strategic readers"--"readers who know how to activate prior knowledge before, during and after reading, to decide what's important in a text"....”

“We now know that groups of neurons create new connections and pathways among themselves every time we acquire a new skill. Computer scientists use the term "open architecture" to describe a system that is versatile enough to change--or rearrange--to accommodate the varying demands on it.”

“Being conscious of our trauma, and recognising how it unavoidably manifests itself within our approach to romantic and platonic relations, skies is to strategise our connections. It helps us to it helps us to recognise patterns, set boundaries, take heed of red flags and ultimately aim higher.”

“For me, it would like to really be authentic. And what I mean by that is: you're not authentic when you're being a caricature of yourself. You're not authentic when you see something working for you and you're getting rewarded for it so you start doubling and tripling down on that thing. You're not authentic when you're being a second rate version of somebody else instead of a first rate version of yourself. … You can start to believe your own bullshit. That's the worst, when you get into character and start believing that you really are this dude. So it's like, for me, man, that's what made me like really start like going to therapy and like doing the work, cause I did not like the version of myself that I was becoming. So my advice to anybody would just to just be authentic, always leave yourself open to growth, and don't be afraid of where that growth takes you. I don't give a fuck what people like about you today: if you're growing into something else tomorrow, follow that shit. You know what I mean? Because, if you don't, you're really just stunting your growth, and you really don't know how big you could possibly be. You're putting a cap on you. Like, you're literally putting a limit on how far you could possibly grow, how big you could get, because you're like ‘nope, that's what they like about me, so Imma keep it here.’ As opposed to just leaving yourself open to see what else is out there and how much more you could contribute to grow. So that's what I tell people: be authentic, man, and don't be afraid to grow.”

“Everything is uncertain. Friends become enemies, health becomes sickness, wealth becomes ruin. But we two, we will create one small space of order in the chaos. I will rest on you, you on me, and we will not break. And in that small space, we will have room for human feelings, maybe cruel, maybe tender, full of arguments or never-ending kindnesses, but more important than the nature of the love is the space we create for it to exist.”
