Having Quotes (page 918)

It may be that what you could be haunts you. It is real. It is a weight you have to carry around. Each failure to become, to be, is a weight. Each state you could inhabit is a burden as heavy as any physical weight, but more so, because it weighs on your soul. It is the ghost of your possibilities hanging around your neck, an invisible albatros, potentials unknowingly murdered. Ben Okri
But, back of this, still broods silently the deep religious feeling of the real Negro heart, the stirring, unguided might of powerful human souls who have lost the guiding star of the past and are seeking in the great night a new religious ideal.

W. E. B. Du Bois

I meet you. I remember you. Who are you? You’re destroying me. You’re good for me. How could I know this city was tailor-made for love? How could I know you fit my body like a glove? I like you. How unlikely. I like you. How slow all of a sudden. How sweet. You cannot know. You’re destroying me. You’re good for me. You’re destroying me. You’re good for me. I have time. Please, devour me. Deform me to the point of ugliness. Why not you? Why not you in this city and in this night, so like other... Marguerite Duras
The problem with not having anybody to tell you what to do, I understood, is that there was nobody to tell you what not to do. Augusten Burroughs

I am nothing. I will never be anything. I cannot wish to be anything. Bar that, I have in me all the dreams of the world. Fernando Pessoa
It was easy for you to say these things, since you either knew you were not writing to Luther, but for the general public, or you did not reflect that it was Luther you were writing against, whom I hope you allow nonetheless to have some acquaintance with Holy Writ and some judgment in respect of it. Martin Luther
Where was it ever promised us that life on this earth can ever be easy, free from conflict and uncertainty, devoid of anguish and wonder and pain? … The purpose of life is to matter, to be productive, to have it make some difference that you lived at all. Leo Rosten
Every mile was redolent of associations, which she would not have missed for the world, but each of which made her cry upon 'the days that are no more' with ineffable longing. Elizabeth Gaskell

Charles M. Schulz quote: "There's no sense in doing a lot of barking if you don't really..."
There's no sense in doing a lot of barking if you don't really have anything to say. Charles M. Schulz
I am always amazed that so many people are concerned with wanting to be what they are not; What is the point of making yourself look ridiculous? You don't always have to pretend to be strong, there is no need to prove all the time that everything is going well, you shouldn't be concerned about what other people are thinking. Cry if you need to, it's good to cry out all your tears, because only then you will be able to smile again... Paulo Coelho

You say you are "delirious with joy" because the European humans have started another of their wars. I see very well what has happened to you. You are not delirious; you are only drunk. C. S. Lewis
There is something so tender about this to me, about being willing to have your makeup wash off, your eyes tear up, your nose start to run. Its tender partly because it harkens back to infancy, to your mother washing your face with love and lots or water, tending to you, making you clean all over again. Anne Lamott
