Quote by Matt Haig

“If you keep on climbing a mountain, you will eventually reach the top. That's the thing with mountains, however big they are, there is always a top. Even if it takes all through the day and all through another night, you will usually get there. If yoy keep remembering there is a top.”

“In the most unlikely moments, I would catch glimpses of the person I used to be: the child who shrieked with delight as her dress swirled about her like a balloon, the girl who used to see the glass as half full, the young woman who used to laugh at the absurdity of life. All of those previous versions of myself had existed, yet I couldn’t have imagined what the future versions would be like.”

“Optimism has always been an undeclared policy of human culture- one that grew out of our animal instincts to survive and reproduce- rather than an articulated body of thought. It is the default condition of our blood and cannot be effectively questioned by our minds or put in grave doubt by our pains. This would explain why at any given time there are more cannibals than philosophical pessimists.”

“M-am născut, se vede, într-o zodie de vis fericit. Nu m-am gândit niciodată să mă întreb dacă viața mea nu e cumva un rău. Și nici ce e dincolo de ea. Atâtea vedeam în ea și prin ea încât nu m-am gândit ce aș fi eu fără ea. Eu nu eram atât de orgolios, pe cât de încrezător în viață. Inconștiet, porneam de la această credință sau intuiție că viața e demnă de trăit. Optimism, fără îndoială, fără neîncredere. Optimism al unei animalități care se pulverizează încet de tot. Un optimism fanatic: egosim, atât cât și un pesimim ultim.”
