And all the time your soul is craving and longing for something else.” ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky, White Nights: And Other Stories
“Growing up happens when you start having things you look back on and wish you could change.” ~ Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes
“It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old, they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams.” ~ Gabriel García Márquez
