"Happiness is holding someone in your arms and knowing you hold the whole world." Orhan Pamuk, Snow
As always, one of my favourite authors is totally right.

I wanted to ask her how the same thing could be so ugly and so glorious, and its words and stories so damning and brilliant ... I AM HAUNTED BY HUMANS." Markus Zusak, The Book Thief
I'm afraid I do that all the time, it's hard not to judge when someone does something extremely dumb or extremely clever.
"A little reading is all the therapy a person needs sometimes." N.N.
A good book always helps.
