“Life and I became friends some years ago - not the sort of exciting friendship I longed for as a child, but a kindly truce, a pleasure in coming home every day to my apartment.

― Elizabeth Kostova, The Swan Thieves

“You cannot run away from a weakness, you must sometimes fight it out or perish. And if that be so, why not now and where you stand?”
