“Librarians have knowledge. They guide you to the right books. The right worlds. They find the best places. Like soul-enhanced search engines."

―The Midnight Library by Matt Haig

Tanjiro: You’re overthinking this. Zenitsu: I have anxiety. I have no other type of thinking available.

"Mark," said Julian. "Was that necessary?"

"Was what necessary?"

"You don't have to sound like a medieval faerie poem," Julian said. "You sound perfectly normal half the time. Maybe we should discuss keeping a low profile."

"I cannot help it," Mark said with a small smile. "It's something about mundanes..."

"You need to act more like a normal human being," said Jules. "When we're out in public."

"He doesn't need to act normal," said Ty sharply.

"He bumped into a pay phone and said 'Excuse me, miss,' on our way in," said Julian.

"It's polite to apologize," said Mark with a small smile.

"Not to inanimate objects."

-Lady Midnight

life begins on the other side of despair (jean paul sartre)

[eldiariodetiara]

There was beauty in the idea of freedom, but it was an illusion. Every human heart was chained by love.

Cassandra Clare, Lady Midnight

You keep your eye on the queen, and the knights, and the bishop, because they are the sneaky ones. But it’s the rook that often gets you. The straightforward is never quite what it seems.

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.

“Of course, we can't visit every place or meet every person or do every job, yet most of what we'd feel in any life is still available. We don't have to play every game to know what winning feels like. We don't have to hear every piece of music in the world to understand music. We don't have to have tried every variety of grape from every vineyard to know the pleasure of wine. Love and laughter and fear and pain are universal currencies. We just have to close our eyes and savour the taste of the drink in front of us and listen to the song as it plays. We are as completely and utterly alive as we are in any other life and have access to the same emotional spectrum.”

-Matt Haig, “The Midnight Library”

“And that sadness is intrinsically part of the fabric of happiness. You can’t have one without the other. Of course, they come in different degrees and quantities. But there is no life where you can be in a state of sheer happiness for ever. And imagining there is just breeds more unhappiness in the life you’re in.”

- The Midnight Library by Matt Haig

The paradox of volcanoes was that they were symbols of destruction but also life. Once the lava slows and cools, it solidifies and then breaks down over time to become soil - rich, fertile soil. She wasn't a black hole, she decided. She was a volcano. And like a volcano she couldn't run away from herself. She'd have to stay there and tend to that wasteland. She could plant a forest inside herself.

Kit had imagined before what he'd do if a Nephilim ever grabbed him. How he'd stomp on their feet, break their bones, snap their wrists, spit in their faces. He did none of those things, thought of none of those things. He looked at the boy with the knife to his throat, the boy whose black eyelashes feathered down against his cheekbones as he glanced away from Kit, and he felt something like a shock of recognition pass through him.

He thought, How beautiful.

-Kit Herondale

You can choose choices but not outcomes.

― Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

Reality hit when I read this line from the book. It is indeed true. No matter what options are given to us, no matter what decisions we choose to make, it's not within our power to choose or know the outcome. No one really knows what happens next. There are lots of variables, that even a minute flick of a finger could make ripples throughout the course of our lives. So, this made me realize...that even if I had the chance to go back in time and choose a different choice or decision, there's no guarantee what my circumstance would've become. I wouldn't have known if I'd be happier or more successful. It's all the same. We go through life blindly. We may know the concept of cause-and-effect, but in life? Nothing is set in stone and we can't foresee anything at all.
