You need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you select your clothes every day. This is a power you can cultivate. If you want to control things in your life so bad, work on the mind. That's the only thing you should be trying to control. Elizabeth Gilbert
Unlike me, he realized that Dustfinger would do anything in return for such a promise. All he wants is to go back to his own world.

Just now our own story looks like it's coming to a bad end. Cornelia Funke
I suddenly saw how sad and artificial my life had been during this period, for the loves, friends, habits and pleasures of these years were discarded like badly fitting clothes. I parted from them without pain and all that remained was to wonder that I could have endured them so long. Herman Hesse
I’ve come to believe that everything in life is worked out in advance. So whenever bad shit happens, there ain’t nothing you can do about it. You’ve just gotta ride it out. And eventually death will come, like it comes to everyone. Ozzy Osbourne

Richard Adams
