What she thought about death was childish, but what could never have touched her in the past now filled her with poignant tenderness, as sometimes a familiar face we see suddenly with the eyes of love makes us aware that it has been dearer to us than life itself for... Georges Bernanos
I strove with none, for none was worth my strife. Nature I loved and, next to Nature, Art: I warm'd both hands before the fire of life; It sinks, and I am ready to depart. Walter Savage Landor
Henry David Thoreau quote: "Every blade in the field - Every leaf in the forest - lays..."

If I should go before the rest of you. Break not a flower nor inscribe a stone, Nor when I'm gone speak in a Sunday voice But be the usual selves that I have known. Weep if you must, Parting is hell, But life goes on, So sing as well. Joyce Grenfell

A man who wants to die feels angry and full of life and desperate and bored and exhausted, all at the same time; he wants to fight everyone, and he wants to curl up in a ball and hide in a cupboard somewhere. He wants to say sorry to everyone, and he wants everyone to know just how badly they've all let him down. Nick Hornby

Jasper Johns quote: "I assumed that everything would lead to complete failure, but..."
I assumed that everything would lead to complete failure, but I decided that didn't matter? that would be my life. Jasper Johns
I've come to believe that in everyone's life, there's one undeniable moment of change, a set of circumstances that suddenly alters everything. Nicholas Sparks
Charles Bukowski quote: "It wasn’t my day. My week. My month. My year. My life. God..."

If you haven't confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence, you have won even before you have started. Marcus Garvey
I should feel the air move against me, and feel the things I touched, instead of having only to look at them. I'm sure life is all wrong because it has become much too visual - we can neither hear nor feel nor understand, we can only see. I'm sure that is entirely wrong. David Herbert Lawrence
It is a curious subject of observation and inquiry, whether hatred and love be not the same thing at bottom. Each, in its utmost development, supposes a high degree of intimacy and heart-knowledge; each renders one individual dependent for the food of his affections and spiritual life upon another; each leaves the passionate lover, or the no less passionate hater, forlorn and desolate by the withdrawal of his object. Nathaniel Hawthorne
