Quote by Zadie Smith

“you’re lucky that you find life so easy, Felix. You’re lucky that you’re happy, that you know how to be happy, that you’re a good person- and you want everyone to be happy and good because you are, and to find things easy because you do. Do it ever occur to you some people might not find life as easy to live as you do?”

Neither to change, nor falter, nor repent! This, like thy glory, Titan, is to be Good, great and joyous, beautiful and free; This is a long Life, Joy, Empire, and Victory.”
