It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt Mark Twain
For in grief nothing "stays put." One keeps on emerging from a phase, but it always recurs. Round and round. Everything repeats. Am I going in circles, or dare I hope I am on a spiral? But if a spiral, am I going up or down it? How often -- will it be for always? -- how often will the vast emptiness astonish me like a complete novelty and make me say, "I never realized my loss till this moment"? The same leg is cut off time after time. C. S. Lewis
Death, like a host, comes smiling to the door; Smiling, he greets us, on that tranquil shore. Where neither piping bird nor peeping dawn. Disturbs the eternal sleep, But in the stillness far withdrawn. Our dreamless rest for evermore we keep. Robert Louis Stevenson
Charles Bukowski quote: "nothing can save you except writing. it keeps the walls from..."

This could be a whole life," she thought. "You work eight hours a day covering wires to earn money to buy food and to pay for a place to sleep so that you can keep living to come back to cover more wires. Some people are born and kept living just to come to this... Betty Smith
What should I do about the wild and the tame? The wild heart that wants to be free, and the tame heart that wants to come home. I want to be held. I don't want you to come too close. I want you to scoop me up and bring me home at nights. I don't want to tell you where I am. I want to keep a place among the rocks where no one can find me. I want to be with you. Jeanette Winterson
Jonathan Larson quote: "What binds the fabric together when the raging, shifting,..."
What binds the fabric together when the raging, shifting, winds of change keep ripping away? Jonathan Larson
Guillaume Apollinaire quote: "Six mirrors keep staring at one another("Monday rue Christine")"
Six mirrors keep staring at one another("Monday rue Christine") Guillaume Apollinaire
If he lies pressed against me, he gently twines his legs about mine and our legs are merged by the very soft cloth of our pajamas; he then takes great pains to find the right spot to cuddle his cheek. So long as he is not sleeping, I feel the quivering of his eyelids and upturned lashes against the very sensitive skin of my neck. If he feels a tickling in his nostrils, his laziness and drowsiness keep him from lifting his hand, so that in order to scratch himself he rubs his nose against my... Jean Genet
First she said we were to keep clear of the Sirens, who sit and sing most beautifully in a field of flowers; but she said I might hear them myself so long as no one else did. Therefore, take me and bind me to the crosspiece half way up the mast; bind me as I stand upright, with a bond so fast that I cannot possibly break away, and lash the rope's ends to the mast itself. If I beg and pray you to set me free, then bind me more tightly still. Homer
Sophocles quote: "The good leader repeats the good news, keeps the worst to..."
The good leader repeats the good news, keeps the worst to himself. Sophocles
I wouldn't know what to do with [colour]. Colour to me is too real. It's limiting. It doesn't allow too much of a dream. The more you throw black into a colour, the more dreamy it get? Black has depth. It's like a little egress; you can go into it, and because it keeps on continuing to be dark, the mind kicks in, and a lot of things that are going on in there become manifest. And you start seeing what you're afraid of. You start seeing what you love, and it becomes like a dream. David Lynch
Chuck Palahniuk quote: "How is it that you keep mutating and can still be the same virus?"
How is it that you keep mutating and can still be the same virus? Chuck Palahniuk
Lao Tzu quote: "not to show them what is likely to excite their desires is the..."
not to show them what is likely to excite their desires is the way to keep their minds from disorder. Lao Tzu
We're all out of black hellebore," Frike said. "Would toadswort or anything else do?"I thought I told you to keep the stock up."I'm sorry master. I developed a taste for it. Roger Zelazny
