• Hace mucho tiempo se decía que "la mitad del mundo no sabe cómo vive la otra mitad". Entonces era cierto. No lo sabía porque no le importaba.

• Either I'm alive or I'm dying, she said to Daniel. Please don't feel you can't tell me. Which is it?
  Which does it feel like? said Daniel. He patted her hand. You're not dead yet. You're a lot more alive than many people.

• If the sun is shining, stand in it- yes, yes, yes. Happy times are great, but happy times pass- they have to- because time passes. The pursuit of happiness is more elusive; it is life-long, and it is not goal-centred. What you are pursuing is meaning- a meaningful life... There are times when it will go so wrong that you will be barely alive, and times when you realise that being barely alive, on your own terms, is better than living a bloated half-life on someone else's terms.

  Jeanette Winterson
