Sometimes he did not know if he slept or just thought about sleep. Mark Strand
You do not know how much they mean to me, my friends, And how, how rare and strange it is, to find. In a life composed so much, so much of odds and ends,(For indeed I do not love it ... you knew? you are not blind! How keen you are!)To find a friend who has these qualities, Who has, and gives. Those qualities upon which friendship lives. How much it means that I say this to you-Without these friendships-life, what cauchemar! T. S. Eliot

Most of the book deals with things we already know yet never learn. Huston Smith
My main reason for scepticism about the Huxley/Sagan theory is that the human brain is demonstrably eager to see faces in random patterns, as we know from scientific evidence, on top of the numerous legends about faces of Jesus, or the Virgin Mary, or Mother Teresa, being seen on slices of toast, or pizzas, or patches of damp on a wall. This eagerness is enhanced if the pattern departs from randomness in the specific direction of being symmetrical. Richard Dawkins

Do you want to fix it?"I just said I was in love with her. Why wouldn't I want to fix it?"You want to know how?"Goddamn it, Del." He drank again. "Yes, since you're so fucking smart. How do I fix it?"Crawl."Jack blew out a breath. "I can do that". Nora Roberts
There is no such thing as originality. It has all been said before, suffered before. If a person knows that, is it any wonder love becomes mechanical and death just a scene to be shunned? There is no absolute knowledge to be gained from either. Just another ride on the merry-go-round, another blurred scene of faces smiling and faces grieved. Clive Barker
I made a boy's mistake, common enough, of thinking that real life was knowing many things and many people, living dangerously in faraway places, crossing the sea, or starting a power company on the Columbia River, a steamship line in Bolivia. Mark Helprin
You grow ravenous. You run fevers. You know exhilarations. You can't sleep at night, because your beast-creature ideas want out and turn you in your bed. It is a grand way to live. Ray Bradbury
Whoever you are, go out into the evening, leaving your room, of which you know every bit; your house is the last before the infinite, whoever you are. Rainer Maria Rilke
Paulo Coelho quote: "We can never judge the lives of others, because each person..."
We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. Paulo Coelho
It's funny. No matter how hard you try, you can't close your heart forever. And the minute you open it up, you never know what's going to come in. But when it does, you just have to go for it! Because if you don't, there's not point in being here. Kirstie Alley
You should read something else."Why would he have done that to him?"I don't know," she said. Do you ever feel like Job?"She smiled, a little twinkle in her eyes. Sometimes."But you haven't lost your faith?"No," I knew she hadn't, but I think I was losing mine. Is it because you think you might get better?"No," she said,"its because its the only thing I have left. Nicholas Sparks
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quote: "If you've never eaten while crying you don t know what life..."
If you've never eaten while crying you don t know what life tastes like. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
