You live and then you die, I thought. It's good to have some good times. Natalie Goldberg
But sometimes, in tight corners, when your back is against the wall and the world is against you, you have to fight back in unexpected ways. Caroline B. Cooney
[…] nobody grows up. Everyone carries around all the selves that they have ever been, intact, waiting to be reactivated in moments of pain, of fear, of danger. Everything is retrievable, every shock, every hurt. But perhaps it becomes a duty to abandon the stock of time that one carries within oneself, to discard it in favour of the present, so that one’s embrace may be turned outwards to the world in which one has made one’s home. Anita Brookner
Nicholas Sparks quote: "Yet I have come to believe that while the past is..."
Yet I have come to believe that while the past is unchangeable, our perceptions of is are malleable... Nicholas Sparks
I have no pity for myself either. So let it be Veronal. But I wish Hercule Poirot had never retired from work and come here to grow vegetable marrows. Agatha Christie
