“That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.” 
― F. Scott Fitzgerald
"Life is a game, boy. Life is a game that one plays according to the rules."
---J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
Quiet is peace. Tranquility. Quiet is turning down the volume knob on life. Silence is pushing the off button. Shutting it down. All of it. 
---Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner
