quotes
“Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.” | J.K. Rowling
“Concision in thought, precision in style, decision in life.” | Victor Hugo
“Whether in life or in a specific undertaking, there will undoubtedly be times when you achieve genuine progress, only to come up against a wall or feel yourself regressing. There will be times when you just need to stop and rest. Such are the vicissitudes inherent to any struggle. When you challenge to achieve something, be ready to face the unexpected.” | Daisaku Ikeda
