But words are things, and a small drop of ink, Falling like dew, upon a thought, produces That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.

โ€œI admit to being capable of an astounding level of selfishness, caprice, and cruelty. Many storms I weathered were those that I summoned. But even on my worst days, did I deserve the pain you inflicted or the nightmares you inspired?โ€

That's what I love about reading: one tiny thing will interest you in a book, and that tiny thing will lead you to another book, and another bit there will lead you onto a third book. It's geometrically progressive - all with no end in sight, and for no other reason than sheer enjoyment

โ€œGive me a few days of peace in your armsโ€”I need it terribly. Iโ€™m ragged, worn, exhausted. After that I can face the world.โ€

it's okay to slow down, or take a break. you don't need to be productive 100% of the time. you're a person outside of school / work and that person is deserving of care and rest. go easy on yourself.
