Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning. Paulo Coelho
Margaret Atwood quote: "There were a lot of gods. Gods always come in handy, they..."
There were a lot of gods. Gods always come in handy, they justify almost anything. Margaret Atwood
No one has ever successfully painted or photographed a redwood tree. The feeling they produce is not transferable. From them comes silence and awe. John Steinbeck
It was sad, like those businessmen who come to work in serious clothes but wear colourful ties in a mad despairing attempt to show there is a free spirit in there somewhere. Terry Prachett
I hope to die in my sleep, when the time comes, and I hope it will be in the beautiful big brass bed in my New Orleans apartment, the bed which is associated with so much love. Tennessee Williams
When a man is ill, he has only one wish -to gain health, and when he does -then come a hundred wishes and he turns even unhappier than when he was lying sick in bed Alija Izetbegovic
You needn't die happy when your time comes, but you must die satisfied, for you have lived your life from the beginning to the end and ka is always served. Stephen King
In the garden there was nothing which was not quite like themselves - nothing which did not understand the wonderfulness of what was happening to them - the immense, tender, terrible, heart-breaking beauty and solemnity of Eggs. If there had been one person in that garden who had not known through all his or her innermost being that if an Egg were taken away or hurt the whole world would whirl round and crash through space and come to an end... there could have been no happiness even in that... Frances Hodgson Burnett
