Barbara Kingsolver Quotes

To love a woman for her virtues is meaningless. She's earned it, it's a payment, not a gift. But to love her for her vices is a real gift, unearned and undeserved. To love her for her vices is to defile all virtue for her sake - and that is a real tribute of love, because you sacrifice your conscience, your reason, your integrity and your invaluable self-esteem. Ayn Rand
Losing him was blue like I'd never known, Missing him was dark grey all alone, Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you've never met, But loving him was red Taylor Swift

People get so attached to a position which they identify themselves with that they just spurt it out, but they can't really give you a viable reason why they feel that way. Serj Tankian

I'm right there, swimming the river of hardships but I know how to swim... Jack Kerouac
Once, when I was younger, I thought I could be someone else. I'd move to Casablanca, open a bar, and I'd meet Ingrid Bergman. Or more realistically - whether actually more realistic or not - I'd tune in on a better life, something more suited to my true self. Toward that end, I had to undergo training. I read The Greening of America, and I saw Easy Rider three times. But like a boat with a twisted rudder, I kept coming back to the same place. I wasn't anywhere. I was myself, waiting on... Haruki Murakami
And fairly enough she thought, for that was the way of the world. A road was to be driven upon.
