...And what if you don't wait? You just drive over the edge yourself? Wouldn't that be the only right thing to do, the one that would solve everything? Yevgeny Zamyatin
For she had come to feel that it was the only thing worth saying--what one felt. Cleverness was silly. One must simply say what one felt. Virginia Woolf
Realise that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself. Og Mandino
In the next long minute, he felt an understanding spread deep down inside him, an understanding that he'd only felt with animals before--with poor old Hilda and the hawks he'd seen in tall bare trees and that buck deer, long ago in the woods, that spoke Ben's name and told him the world was a fine place to live, hard but fine. Reynolds Price
I learned to recognise the thorough and primitive duality of man; I saw that, of the two natures that contended in the field of my consciousness, even if I could rightly be said to be either, it was only because I was radically both. Robert Louis Stevenson

Inevitably, anytime we are too vulnerable we feel the need to protect ourselves from further wounds.

Tom Robbins quote: "In the haunted house of life, art is the only stair that..."
In the haunted house of life, art is the only stair that doesn't creak. Tom Robbins
Happiness and contentment, equability of mind and meaningfulness of life? these can be experienced only by the individual and not by a State, which, on the one hand, is nothing but a convention agreed to by independent individuals, and on the other, continually threatens to paralyse and suppress the individual. Carl Jung
Mary Renault quote: "There is only one kind of shock worse than the totally..."
There is only one kind of shock worse than the totally unexpected: the expected for which one has refused to prepare. Mary Renault
I wish that they shall all stay with the teachings, that they shall reach their goal! It is not my place to judge another person's life. Only for myself, for myself alone. I must decide, I must chose, I must refuse. Herman Hesse
One day at a time. You rise, you eat, you bathe, and you talk to the few people you can tolerate while feeling so wretched. Over time, it hurts a little less. Then a little less. And so on...Until one morning, you will awake and realize the pain is only a memory. It will always be with you, but it will eventually lack the power to cripple you. Sylvia Day
Today's education is entirely defective to the extent that, calling itself positivist, it begins with abusing the child's trust by presenting as true what is only either a temporary phenomenon or a hypothesis, when it's not a blatant untruth; and to the extent that it prevents children from forming in good time their own opinions by creasing into them certain habits that make their freedom of judgement an illusion Andre Breton
Irvine Welsh quote: "You can only live in the world you ken. The rest is just..."
You can only live in the world you ken. The rest is just wishful thinking or paranoia. Irvine Welsh
