William Butler Yeats quote: "BELOVED, gaze in thine own heart, The holy tree is growing there;"
BELOVED, gaze in thine own heart, The holy tree is growing there; William Butler Yeats
Bacon's portraits are an interrogation on the limits of the self. Up to what degree of distortion does an individual still remain himself? To what degree of distortion does a beloved person still remain a beloved person? For how long does a cherished face growing remote through illness, through madness, through hatred, through death still remain recognizable? Where is the border beyond which a self ceases to be a self? Milan Kundera
Beware: Ignorance protects itself. Ignorance promotes suspicion. Suspicion engenders fear. Fear quails, irrational and blind, or fear looms, defiant and closed. Blind, closed, suspicious, afraid, Ignorance protects itself, and protected, Ignorance grows. Octavia Butler
Agatha Christie quote: "Pas encore. Qa m'amuse."Really, Poirot!"Yes, my friend. I grow..."
Pas encore. Qa m'amuse."Really, Poirot!"Yes, my friend. I grow old and childish, do I not? Agatha Christie
Our contradictions. We are in such a hurry to grow up, and then we long for our lost childhood. We make ourselves ill earning money, and then spend all our money on getting well again. We think so much about the future that we neglect the present, and thus experience neither the present nor the future. We live as if we were never going to die, and die as if we had never lived. Paulo Coelho

Chaim Potok quote: "the world will indulge you just so long Asher Lev. Then it..."

How does one keep from “growing old inside”? Surely only in community. The only way to make friends with time is to stay friends with people…. Taking community seriously not only gives us the companionship we need, it also relieves us of the notion that we are dispensable. Robert McAfee Brown
And any small moments of intense, flaring beauty such as this morning's will be utterly forgotten, dissolved by time like a super-8 film left out in the rain, without sound, and quickly replaced by thousands of silently growing trees. Doug Coupland
We can't stop the world, but there's so much more that we could do. You can't stop this girlfrom falling more in love with you. You said nobody has to know Give us time to grow, and take it slowbut I'd stop the world if it finally let us be alone. Let us be alone oooo ohhh oh Demi Lovato
Whatever the truth about the Deliverer, she will remain in my mind as she was shown on that statue, and all the other statues and murals, songs and stories: riding, at the head of her own swift cavalry, with a growing migration behind her and a decadent, vulnerable, defenceless and rich continent ahead; and, floating bravely above her head and above her army, the black flag on which nothing is written. Ken MacLeod
Truth be told, John said, the one thing in this world I want more than anything else is a great big crowbar, to jimmy myself open and take whatever creature that's sitting inside and shake it clean like a rug and then rinse it in a cold, clear lake like up in Oregon, and then I want to put it under the sun to let it heal and dry and grow and sit and come to consciousness again with a clear and quiet mind.
