How do most people live without any thought? There are many people in the world,--you must have noticed them in the street,--how do they live? How do they get strength to put on their clothes in the morning? Emily Dickinson

It cannot have escaped your notice that for some time past the friendship I have had in my heart for you has ripened into a deeper feeling, a feeling more beautiful, more pure, more sacred. Dare I name it you? Ah! It is love which makes me so bold! Margaret Mitchell

Only the ego resists egos. The spirit may notice egos, but sees beyond them and does not engage with them. Alan Cohen
Charles Bukowski quote: "I had noticed that both in the very poor and very rich..."
I had noticed that both in the very poor and very rich extremes of society the mad were often allowed to mingle freely. Charles Bukowski
Asleep, he looked a lot younger than going-on-seventeen, but I had noticed that Johnny looked younger when he was asleep too, so I figured everyone did. Maybe people are younger when they are asleep. S. E. Hinton
