"Life is amazing. And then it's awful. And then it's amazing again. And in between the amazing and the awful it's ordinary and mundane and routine.

And it's breathtakingly beautiful." - L.R. Knost

"If you try too hard to be perfect and rid yourself of everything that is flawed then you also rid yourself of everything that makes you happy." - Steven Universe

Not exactly verbatim as there were some verbal exchanges between characters while Steven was getting to this point, so I did edit it down to a single line. This quote was a real eye-opener to me, as someone raised by a narcissistic mother.
