“Perhaps sometimes life shows you a side of itself which leaves you with nothing more to say”

“A painter can leave you with nothing left to say. A writer leaves you with everything to say.”

“But sometimes you have to be brave. Sometimes you have to show people what's important in life.”

“Harry Dresden: Pain is a part of life. Sometimes it's a big part, and sometimes it isn't, but either way, it's part of the big puzzle, the deep music, the great game. Pain does two things: It teaches you, tells you that you're alive. Then it passes away and leaves you changed. It leaves you wiser, sometimes. Sometimes it leaves you stronger. Either way, pain leaves its mark, and everything important that will ever happen to you in life is going to involve it in one degree or another.”

“Silence has sometimes a remarkable power of showing itself as the disembodied sould of feeling wandering without its carcase, and it is then more impressive than speech. In the same way to say a little is often to tell more than to say.”

“Perhaps all of life is no more than a long preparation for the leaving of it.”

“He is more worth to you, perhaps. But the stranger is someone else's friend and brother. So which life is more important?”

“To find what you seek in the road of life,
the best proverb of all is that which says:
"Leave no stone unturned.”

“Misery won't touch you gentle. It always leaves its thumbprints on you; sometimes it leaves them for others to see, sometimes for nobody but you to know of.”

“Happiness is a by-product. It is not a primary product of life. It is a thing which you suddenly realize you have because you're so delighted to be doing something which perhaps has nothing whatever to do with happiness.”
