Occasionally the very youngness of the young moved him to charity--they had no sense of the swiftness of life, nor of its limits. The years would pass like weeks, and loves would pass too, or else grow sour. Larry McMurtry
You have hair like the color of gold. Think how wonderful that will be when you have tamed me! The grain, which is also golden, will bring me back the thought of you. And I shall love to listen to the wind in the wheat... Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Hugh Prather quote: "We feel understood by people who like us; misunderstood by..."
We feel understood by people who like us; misunderstood by people who don't -- and those feelings are probably realistic. Hugh Prather
Men pass my grave, and say, "'Twere well to sleep, Like such an one, amid the uncaring dead!"How should they know the vigils that I keep, The tears I shed? John McCrae
Louisa May Alcott quote: "Jo had learned that hearts, like flowers, cannot be rudely..."
Jo had learned that hearts, like flowers, cannot be rudely handled, but must open naturall? Louisa May Alcott
People do go back, but they don't survive, because two realities are claiming them at the same time. Such things are too much. You can salt your heart, or kill your heart, or you can choose between the two realities. There is much pain here. Some people think you can have your cake and eat it. The cake goes mouldy and they choke on what's left. Going back after a long time will make you mad, because the people you left behind do not like to think of you changed, will treat you as they... Jeanette Winterson
And that was the greatest heartbreak of all- no matter how spectacular we want our children to be, no matter how perfect we pretend they are, they are bound to disappoint. As it turns out, kids are more like us than we think: damaged, through and through. Jodi Picoult
I was driven to Whipsnade one sunny morning. When we set out I did not believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God, and when we reached the zoo I did. Yet I had not exactly spent the journey in thought. Nor in great emotion. “Emotional” is perhaps the last word we can apply to some of the most important events. It was more like when a man, after a long sleep, still lying motionless in bed, becomes aware that he is now awake. C. S. Lewis
Alice Hoffman quote: "Maybe some love was guaranteed. Maybe it fit inside you and..."
Maybe some love was guaranteed. Maybe it fit inside you and around you like skin and bones. Alice Hoffman
Pablo Neruda quote: "The road made wet by the water of Augustshines like it was cut..."
The road made wet by the water of Augustshines like it was cut in full moonlight Pablo Neruda
How many times in the past three months have I been reminded of Ruby's two selves, the careful courteous young woman who spoke so sweetly to strangers and the person she let loose at home, where she was safe, where she could be spiky and harsh and uncertain and at sea? I have two selves now, too, the one that goes out in the world and says what sound like the right things and nods and listens and sometimes even smiles, and the real woman, who watches her in wonder, who is nothing but a wound,... A. Whitney Brown
Charles M. Schulz quote: "Wouldn't you like just for once to see Charlie Brown hit that..."
Wouldn't you like just for once to see Charlie Brown hit that ball?"No... I'm not prepared to have the world come to an end! Charles M. Schulz
John Irving quote: "Being afraid you'll look like a coward is the worst reason for..."
Being afraid you'll look like a coward is the worst reason for doing anything. John Irving
You know," he said with unusual somberness, "I asked my father once why kenders were little, why we weren't big like humans and elves. I really wanted to be big," he said softly and for a moment he was quiet. "What did your father say?" asked Fizban gently. "He said kenders were small because we were meant to do small things. 'If you look at all the big things in the world closely,' he said, 'you'll see that they're really made up of small things all joined together.' That big dragon down... Margaret Weis
I've always been a very restless person. I work hard, spend too much time looking after my son, I dance like a mad thing, I learned calligraphy. I go to courses on selling, I read one book after another. But that's all a way of avoiding those moments when nothing is happening, because those blank spaces give me a feeling of absolute emptiness, in which not a single crumb of love exists. Paulo Coelho
