• "Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four, five times more, perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps 20. And yet it all seems limitless. -Paul Bowles "We lived for the night and chased after the moon. We were alive and nearly wild and as close to being free as ever we would be. Eagerly, we were seduced by its song and all the potential the darkness held" -Me ""It was his old love for a girl of twenty, standing proudly by her throne with the present of captives about her-but now the same girl was standing in other surroundings, surroundings of bad make-up and loud silks, by which she was trying to defy the invincible doom of human destiny. He saw her as the passionate spirit of innocent youth, now beleaguered by the tick which is played on the youth-the trick of treachery in the body, which turns flesh into green bones. Her stupid finery was not vulgar to him, but touching. The girl was still there, still appealing from behind the breaking barricade of rouge. She had made the brave protest: I will not be vanquished. Under the clumsy coquerty, the undignified clothes, there was the human cry for help. The young eyes were puzzled, saying: It is I, inside here-what have they done to me? I will not submit. Some part of her spirit knew that the powder was making a guy of her, and hated it, and tried to hold her lover with the eyes alone. They said: Don't look at all this. Look at me. I am still here, in the eyes. Look at me, here in the prison, and help me out. Another part said: I am not old, it is illusion. I am beautifully made up. See, I will perform the movements of youth. I will defy the enormous army of age." T. H. White Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it’s yours.” | Ayn Rand "We cannot build the future by avenging the past. Let us sit down as brothers, and accept the peace of God." T.H. White "It is good to put your life in other people's hands." T.H. White "The young man knew, in this moment, that he had hurt a real person, of his own age. He saw in her eyes that she thought he was hateful, and that he had surprised her badly. She had been giving kindness, and he had returned it with unkindness. But the main thing was that she was a real person. She was not a minx, not deceitful, not designing and heartless. She was pretty Jenny, who could think and feel." T.H. White "Indeed they did love her. Perhaps we all give the best of our hearts uncritically-to those who hardly think about us in return." T.H. White In the end, I think that I will like that we were sitting on the bed, talking & wondering where the time had gone. -Brian Andreas "I know it's hard to love me," he said as the tears welled up in his eyes. "I'm angry and prideful. I say too much of the wrong things and too little of the right ones. If you love me, you will not leave without being wounded. But if you can see through all that and still stay and love me, I will bleed for you. I will go hungry to feed you and thirsty so you won't have to. I will always desire you no matter what changes may come our way. My loyalty and devotion will always be yours, and if need be, I'd burn myself and everything in this world to ash to save you." He looked away, "If you can find the room for me in your heart, I will give every breath I have for you." -random writings by JJ “I think of my life as a kind of music, not always good music but still having form and melody.”—East of Eden “I don't want to be a man," said Jace. "I want to be an angst-ridden teenager who can't confront his own inner demons and takes it out verbally on other people instead." Cassandra Clare The pieces I am, she gather them and gave them back to me in all the right order." —Toni Morrison, Beloved It might be that to surrender to happiness was to accept defeat, but it was a defeat better than many victories." —W. Somerset Maugham, Of Human Bondage Sometimes I can feel my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living." —Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close “I always wonder why birds choose to stay in the same place when they can fly anywhere on the earth, then I ask myself the same question. Harun Yahya “A system based on exchanging products inevitably channels wealth to a few, and no governmental change will ever be able to correct that. It isn’t a defect of the system, it’s intrinsic to the system Daniel Quinn, My Ishmael Then one day you look in the rearview mirror of your existence and realize that you can see clear down the hill-less and curveless and bridgeless road of your life, straight to the maternity ward where you were born. And then you go to college. Where your bland past meekly follows, sluggishly scraping its feet on the floor. ” — I Was Told There’d Be Cake by Sloane Crosley "I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. " --Harper Lee "I will find you," he whispered in my ear. "I promise. If I must endure two hundred years of purgatory, two hundred years without you - then that is my punishment, which I have earned for my crimes. For I have lied, and killed, and stolen; betrayed and broken trust. But there is the one thing that shall lie in the balance. When I shall stand before God, I shall have one thing to say, to weigh against the rest." His voice dropped, nearly to a whisper, and his arms tightened around me. Lord, ye gave me a rare woman, and God! I loved her well." - Diana Gabaldon, There is neither happiness nor unhappiness in this world; there is only the comparison of one state with another. Only a man who has felt ultimate despair is capable of feeling ultimate bliss. It is necessary to have wished for death in order to know how good it is to live.....the sum of all human wisdom will be contained in these two words: Wait and Hope." — Alexandre Dumas “We can never give up longing and wishing while we are thoroughly alive. There are certain things we feel to be beautiful and good, and we must hunger after them.” -George Eliot “ You are not sorry and you should not be. You are miracle. You are harmony. You are 90 trillion cells weaving your tapestry. Each one testifies to the mystery That even on the worst day Even at your worst You are still your best You are miracle You are miracle Why is it you insist on walking through this life As though you are any less? ” — "90trillion" by Thuli Zuma “The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof. What I want is so simple I almost can’t say it: elementary kindness. Enough to eat, enough to go around. The possibility that kids might one day grow up to be neither the destroyers nor the destroyed. That’s about it. Right now I'm living in that hope, running down its hallway and touching the walls on both sides. Barbara Kingsolver, Animal Dreams “Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack in everything That's how the light gets in. Leonard Cohen "Listen! I will be honest with you. I do not offer the old smooth prizes, but offer rough new prizes. These are the days that must happen to you: You shall not heap up what is called riches, You shall scatter with lavish hand all that you earn or achieve. However sweet the laid-up stores, However convenient the dwellings, You shall not remain there. However sheltered the port, And however calm the waters, You shall not anchor there. However welcome the hospitality that welcomes you You are permitted to receive it but a little while. Afoot and lighthearted, take to the open road, Healthy, free, the world before you, The long brown path before you, leading wherever you choose. Say only to one another: Camerado, I give you my hand! I give you my love, more precious than money, I give you myself before preaching or law: Will you give me yourself? Will you come travel with me? Shall we stick by each other as long as we live? — Walt Whitman “Dear God," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. Let me be gay; let me be sad. Let me be cold; let me be warm. Let me be hungry...have too much to eat. Let me be ragged or well dressed. Let me be sincere - be deceitful. Let me be truthful; let me be a liar. Let me be honorable and let me sin. Only let me be something every blessed minute. And when I sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost." Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn “The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly." F. Scott Fitzgerald I want to do to you what spring does to the cherry trees. -Pablo Neruda “I can’t tell you just how wonderful she is. I don’t want you to know. I don’t want any one to know. F. Scott Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise “Once upon a time there was a boy who loved a girl, and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering. Nicole Krauss, The History of Love A ship is safe in the harbor. But then again, that's not what ships are for. “If there is no love in the world, we will make a new world, and we will give it walls, and we will furnish it with soft, red interiors, from the inside out, and give it a knocker that resonates like a diamond falling to a jeweller's felt so that we should never hear it. Love me, because love doesn't exist, and I have tried everything that does." Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything Is Illuminated Last night the stars were numerous and today the snow is their calling card. -Frank O'Hare And now that you dont have to be perfect, you can be good. -John Steinbeck If you want to build up a ship don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide up the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea. Antoine de Saint-Exupèry Don't ever think I fell for you, or fell over you. I didn't fall in love, I rose in it. Toni Morrison"
