"It may not solve the inner angst and torment you go through as a human soul, but it certainly is a lovely distraction"
Travel far enough, you meet yourself.

It occurs to me that the peculiarity of most things we think of as fragile is how tough they truly are. There were tricks we did with eggs, as children, to show how they were, in reality, tiny load-bearing marble halls; while the beat of the wings of a butterfly in the right place, we are told, can create a hurricane across an ocean. Hearts may break, but hearts are the toughest of muscles, able to pump for a lifetime, seventy times a minute, and scarcely falter along the way. Even dreams, the most delicate and intangible of things, can prove remarkable difficult to kill.
― “Fragile Things” by Neil Gaiman (x)
Doing a math question on a multiple choice test and getting an answer that isn’t even listed as one of the choices
There will be a few times in your life when all your instincts will tell you to do something, something that defies logic, upsets your plans, and may seem crazy to others. When that happens, you do it. Listen to your instincts and ignore everything else. Ignore logic, ignore the odds, ignore the complications, and just go for it.
― Judith McNaught, Remember When (via simply-quotes)
