There would seem to be nothing more obvious, more tangible and palpable than the present moment. And yet it eludes us completely. All the sadness of life lies in that fact.

Justin Bieber quote: "There's gonna be times when people tell you that you can't..."
There's gonna be times when people tell you that you can't live your dreams, this is what I tell them, Never Say Never. Justin Bieber

Jamie Lee Curtis quote: "There is nothing you will regret more in your life? nothing?..."
There is nothing you will regret more in your life? nothing? than not being present for your children Jamie Lee Curtis
There is another sort of day which needs celebrating in song -- the day of days when spring at last holds up her face to be kissed, deliberate and unabashed. On that day no wind blows either in the hills or in the mind. E. B. White
Andre Breton quote: "There are fairy stories to be written for adults. Stories..."
There are fairy stories to be written for adults. Stories that are still in a green state. Andre Breton
