I should much wish, like the Indian Vishna, to float along an infinite ocean cradled in the flower of the Lotus, and wake once in a million years for a few minutes? just to know that I was going to sleep a million years more. Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I think that I need to learn a few different modalities of change: gradual and grounded like a seed growing and, too, when it is time to leap lest I be left hanging over a chasm clutching frantically to either side. In other words, I may need to listen to guidance about when to edge forward and when to leap forward. What clearly does not serve me is trying to meet every situation with an obdurate set mode. Julia Cameron
Jane Austen quote: "Arguments are too much like disputes."

He was one of those persons whom one loves not because of some lustrous streak of talent (this retired businessman possessed none), but because every moment spent with them fits exactly the gauge of one's life. There are friendships like circuses, waterfalls, libraries; there are others comparable to old dressing gowns. You found nothing especially attractive about Maximov's mind if you took it apart: his ideas were conservative, his tastes undistinguished: but somehow or other these dull... Vladimir Nabokov
I’ve tried that. I’ve tried aspirin, too. Rusty thinks I should smoke marijuana, and I did for a while, but it only makes me giggle. What I’ve found does the most good is just to get into a taxi and go to Tiffany’s. It calms me down right away, the quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there, not with those kind men in their nice suits, and that lovely smell of silver and alligator wallets. If I could find a real-life place that made me feel like Tiffany’s,... Truman Capote
Shelagh Delaney quote: "Oh! I must take my shoes off. Huh! Hell hath no fury like a..."
Oh! I must take my shoes off. Huh! Hell hath no fury like a woman's corns, has it? Shelagh Delaney
And above it all the butterfly affect. The sure knowledge that the entire life of a human being is like a single day in that human's life: unplannable, unpredictable, governed by the hidden tides of chaotic factors and buffered by butterfly wings... Dan Simmons
It's starts out young- you try not be different just to survive- you try to be just like everyone else- anonymity becomes reflexive- and then one day you wake up and you've become all those other people- the others- the something you aren't. And you wonder if you can ever be what it is you really are. Or you wonder if it's too late to find out. Doug Coupland
Mark Twain quote: "There are times when I would like to hang the whole human..."
There are times when I would like to hang the whole human race, and finish the farce. Mark Twain
Walt Whitman quote: "From this hour, freedom! Going where I like, my own master..."
From this hour, freedom! Going where I like, my own master... Walt Whitman

On me your voice falls as they say love should, Like an enormous yes. Philip Larkin
George Eliot quote: "I should never like scolding any one else so well; and that is..."
I should never like scolding any one else so well; and that is a point to be thought of in a husband. George Eliot
Marriage is so unlike everything else. There is something even awful in the nearness it brings. Even if we loved someone else better than - than those we were married to, it would be no use. I mean, marriage drinks up all our power of giving or getting any blessedness in that sort of love. I know it may be very dear, but it murders our marriage, and then the marriage stays with us like a murder, and everything else is gone. George Eliot
We weren't allowing our hopes to become expectations. Expectations are tempting, pleasant, maybe necessary. They are scary too, once you have had some experience. They are not necessarily and not always a bucket of smoke, but they can be and are even likely to be. Wendell Berry
