It seems an insult to the night to speak of purpose and intent, when this common moment is so brimming full of blessed design tranquility. All things follow their course. Anne Rice
My mind, I know, I can prove, hovers on hummingbird wings. It hovers and it churns. And when it's operating at full thrust, the churning does not stop. The machines do not rest, the systems rarely cool. And while I can forget anything of any importance--this is why people tell me secrets--my mind has an uncanny knack for organization when it comes to pain. Nothing tormenting is ever lost, never even diminished in color or intensity or quality of sound. Dave Eggers

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
God waits only the separation of spirit from flesh to crown us with a full reward. Why, then, should we ever sink overwhelmed with distress, when life is so soon over, and death is so certain an entrance to happiness -- to glory? Charlotte Bronte
We must laugh and cry, enjoy and suffer, in a word, vibrate to our full capacity … I think that’s what being really human means. Gustave Flaubert
J. R. R. Tolkien quote: "The world is full enough of hurts and mischances without wars..."
The world is full enough of hurts and mischances without wars to multiply them. J. R. R. Tolkien
At no time in the history of man has the world been so full of pain and anguish. Here and there, however, we meet with individuals who are untouched, unsullied, by the common grief. We say of them that they have died to the world. They live in the moment, fully, and the radiance which emanates from them is a perpetual song of joy […] like the clown, we go through the motions, forever simulating, forever postponing the grand event- we die struggling to get born. We never were, never are. ... Henry Miller

Pyp had stabbed a turnip with his knife. "The night is dark and full of turnips," he announced in a solemn voice. "Let us all pray for venison, my children, with some onions and a bit of tasty gravy. George R. R. Martin
Peter Matthiessen quote: "We have outsmarted ourselves, like greedy monkeys, and now we..."
We have outsmarted ourselves, like greedy monkeys, and now we are full of dread. Peter Matthiessen
