Because Quotes (page 234)

All of my creation is an effort to weave a web of connection with the world: I am always weaving it because it was once broken. Anais Nin
We are left with nothing but death, the irreducible fact of our own mortality. Death after a long illness we can accept with resignation. Even accidental death we can ascribe to fate. But for a man to die of no apparent cause, for a man to die simply because he is a man, brings us so close to the invisible boundary between life and death that we no longer know which side we are on. Life becomes death, and it is as if this death has owned this life all along. Death without warning. Which is to... Paul Auster
Sylvia Plath quote: "Everything people did seemed so silly, because they only died..."
Everything people did seemed so silly, because they only died in the end. Sylvia Plath

People die, terrible things happen. I know this now. You can't pick up and leave everything behind because there is too much sadness in the world and not enough places to go. Shared on June 16th, 2012 from Kindle Ann Patchett
I felt bad for Lulu because I've been Lulu. It's really hard when you realize the guy you've been dating is basically a high schooler at heart. It make you feel like Mary Kay Letourneau. It's the worst. Until I was thirty, I only dated boys, as far as I can tell. I'll tell you why. Men scared the shit out of me. Men know what they want. Men make concrete plans. Men own alarm clocks. Men sleep on a mattress that isn't on the floor. Men tip generously. Men buy new shampoo instead of... Mindy Kaling
People are only mean when they're threatene? and that's what our culture does. That's what our economy does. Even people who have jobs in our economy are threatened, because they worry about losing them. And when you get threatened, you start looking out only for yourself. You start making money a god. It is all part of this culture. Morrie Schwartz
Aristotle quote: "Courage is the mother of all virtues because without it, you..."
Courage is the mother of all virtues because without it, you cannot consistently perform the others. Aristotle
I believe that the silence of God, the absolute speechlessness of Him is a long, long and awful thing that the whole world is lost because of. Tennessee Williams
Come on, girl. Don't cry," whispered Frank. "Why not? I can be miserable if I want to. You don't need to try and make it go away. It shouldn't go away. It's just as sad as it ought to be and I'm not going to hide from what's true just because it hurts." Cee wasn't sobbing anymore, but the tears were still running down her cheeks. Toni Morrison
Barbara Taylor Bradford quote: "Priceless things matter not for their value, but because they..."
Priceless things matter not for their value, but because they offer us an enduring reminder of stability and permanence. Barbara Taylor Bradford
Haruki Murakami quote: "A secret's a secret because you don't let people in on it."
A secret's a secret because you don't let people in on it. Haruki Murakami
Fay Weldon quote: "It became obvious that you had to be a feminist because it was..."
It became obvious that you had to be a feminist because it was such a ridiculous state of affairs. Fay Weldon
This Second Century appeals to me because it was the last century, for a very long period of time, in which men could think and express themselves with full freedom. As for us, we are perhaps already very far from such times as that. Marguerite Yourcenar
