When we go out, we carry some warmth into the night, and when we come in, we carry some cold into the house, a vanishingly small exchange of energy in a universe of such extremes. Verlyn Klinkenborg via Zero in the Dark - NYTimes.com.

“You are the storyteller of your own life, and you can create your own legend or not.” — Isabel Allende.

“Find meaning. Distinguish melancholy from sadness. Go out for a walk. It doesn’t have to be a romantic walk in the park, spring at its most spectacular moment, flowers and smells and outstanding poetical imagery smoothly transferring you into another world. It doesn’t have to be a walk during which you’ll have multiple life epiphanies and discover meanings no other brain ever managed to encounter. Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself.

That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be.”
― Albert Camus, Notebooks 1951-1959
