You have had many and great sadnesses, which passed. And you say that even this passing was hard for you and put you out of sorts. But, please, consider whether these great sadnesses have not rather gone right through the center of yourself? Whether much in you has not altered, whether you have not somewhere, at some point of your being, undergone a change when you were sad? Rainer Maria Rilke
Alan Sillitoe quote: "I was neither glad nor unhappy to see her, but maybe that's..."
I was neither glad nor unhappy to see her, but maybe that's what shock does, because I was surprised, that I will say. Alan Sillitoe

Arthur Machen quote: "This then was English fiction, this was English criticism, and..."
This then was English fiction, this was English criticism, and farce, after all, was but an ill-played tragedy. Arthur Machen
I argued that talking is a female trait and that I would do my best to keep it under control, but that I would never be able to break myself of the habit, since my mother talked as much as I did, if not more, and that there's not much you can do about inherited traits. Anne Frank
I felt someone should personally thank every rock out there for the human misery it had absorbed. We should kiss them one by one & say, we are sorry, but something strong & lasting had to do this for May, & you are the chosen ones. God bless your rock hearts. Sue Monk Kidd
There was someone there and they had been there. There was no one there. There was someone there and they had been there and they had not left but there was no one there. Cormac McCarthy
This is the kind of life I've had. Drunk, and in charge of a bicycle, as an Irish police report once put it. Drunk with life, that is, and not knowing where off to next. But you're on your way before dawn. And the trip? Exactly one half terror, exactly one half exhilaration. Ray Bradbury
These are not men of great imagination, but one can hardly blame them for not being prepared for this particular contingency, the sight of a tweet-jacketed, tenured, middle-aged, senior professor and department chair in a fake nose and glasses, brandishing a live, terrified goose... (Richard Russo, Straight Man) Richard Russo
Any woman or man who would write the truth of their lives would write a great work. But no one has dared to write the truth of their lives. Isadora Duncan
All paths are the same: they lead nowhere. ... Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't, it is of no use. Both paths lead nowhere; but one has a heart, the other doesn't. One makes for a joyful journey; as long as you follow it, you are one with it. The other will make you curse your life. One makes you strong; the other weakens you. Carlos Castaneda
