Ruby said there were many songs that you could not say anybody in particular had made by himself. A song went around from fiddler to fiddler and each one added something and took something away so that in time the song became a different thing from what it had been, barely recognizable in either tune or lyric. But you could not say the song had been improved, for as was true of all human effort, there was never advancement. Everything added meant something lost, and about as often as not the thing lost was preferable to the thing gained, so that over time we'd be lucky if we just broke even. Any thought otherwise was empty pride. ↗
The Secret Garden was what Mary called it when she was thinking of it. She liked the name, and she liked still more the feeling that when its beautiful old walls shut her in no one knew where she was. It seemed almost like being shut out of the world in some fairy place. The few books she had read and liked had been fairy-story books, and she had read of secret gardens in some of the stories. Sometimes people went to sleep in them for a hundred years, which she had thought must be rather stupid. She had no intention of going to sleep, and, in fact, she was becoming wider awake every day which passed at Misselthwaite. ↗
The most racking pangs succeeded: a grinding in the bones, deadly nausea, and a horror of the spirit that cannot be exceeded at the hour of birth or death. Then these agonies began swiftly to subside, and I came to myself as if out of a great sickness. There was something strange in my sensations, something indescribably sweet. I felt younger, lighter, happier in body; within I was conscious of a heady recklessness, a current of disordered sensual images running like a millrace in my fancy, a solution of the bonds of obligation, an unknown but innocent freedom of the soul. I knew myself, at the first breath of this new life, to be more wicked, tenfold more wicked, sold a slave to my original evil and the thought, in that moment, braced and delighted me like wine. ↗

Depression exist without you knowing it, even denying it. It is not an illusion. You don't even know you're in it. It takes awhile before you realize it. If you deny it, it means your still in there or else you won't talk about your misery and the dramas in your life. ↗
When we have faith and discipline everything becomes easier. Patience is the mother of all virtues. With anxiety all our lives become worse. ↗
Jangan trauma dengan pengkhianatan masa silam. Jangan bimbang dengan pengkhinatan masa akan datang. Tetapi binalah cita-cita besar yang mampu ’meremehkan’ semua itu. Dengan cita-cita besar kita akan menjadi raja. Bukan raja untuk berbangga tetapi raja yang mempunyai keyakinan diri dan kemurnian reputasi. Biarlah anjing menyalak bukit. Bukit tidak akan runtuh. Begitulah orang yang menikam kita dari belakang… kerana dia hakikatnya lemah penakut dan tidak punya keyakinan diri untuk bertarung secara berdepan ↗
