“This world is your best teacher. There is a lesson in everything. There is a lesson in each experience. Learn it and become wise. Every failure is a stepping stone to success. Every difficulty or disappointment is a trial of your faith. Every unpleasant incident or temptation is a test of your inner strength. Therefore nil desperandum. March forward hero!”

“This world of ours is a new world, in which the unit of knowledge, the nature of human communities, the order of society, the order of ideas, the very notions of society and culture have changed, and will not return to what they have been in the past. What is new is new, not because it has never been there before, but because it has changed in quality.”

“this world’s a goddamn twilight zone — people wired wrong, hearts half-asleep. so i try to move through it with a little grace, even when everything in me wants to scream. existence doesn’t have to make sense; it just has to be. i stopped chasing purpose a long time ago. now it’s just me, breathing through the discomfort, finding small ways to make the worst parts slightly less unbearable.”

“This world was one of great contrasts, she thought, and if the richest part of it was to be fenced off so that people like herself could only look at it with no expectation of ever being able to get inside it, then it would be better to have been born blind so you couldn't see it, born deaf so you couldn't hear it, born with no sense of touch so you couldn't feel it. Better still, born with no brain so that you would be completely unaware of anything, so that you would never know there were places that were filled with sunlight and good food and where children were safe.”

“This world was unreal, like a dream or adventure on the pages of a picture book, and yet realer than the whole entire world. By entering this world one entered a dream, and dreams were realer to Leena than the day time and ordinary life itself. One could imagine an escape from ordinary life, but not from a dream; in dreams everything happened fatefully, unconditionally, there was no alternative. A dream was absolute like some scary, beautiful fairy tale, prewritten, hence so frightening.”
