“Books are more than doctors, of course.

― Nina George, The Little Paris Bookshop

“Strength is not created by adversity; it is merely awakened by it.”

“What happens to us becomes part of us. Resilient people do not bounce back from hard experiences; they find healthy ways to integrate them into their lives. In time, people find that great calamity met with great spirit can create great strength.”
― Eric Greitens, Resilience: Hard-Won Wisdom for Living a Better Life
