I don't expect her to behave as she did when we first met. Nor does she want me to be the person I was when I found her. Love is beyond time, or, rather, love is both time and space, but all focused on... Paulo Coelho

The question is, what are you going to do?" It turns out the question that's been eating away at me has only ever had one possible answer. But it took Peeta's ploy for me to recognize it. What am I going to do? I take a deep breath. My arms rise slightly - as if recalling the black-and-white wings Cinna gave me - then come to rest at my sides. "I'm going to be the Mockingjay. Suzanne Collins
That there should be a reality hidden behind appearances is, after all, quite possible; that language might render such a thing would be an absurd hope. Emile M. Cioran

Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something. Kurt Vonnegut
Edgar Allan Poe quote: "The idea of God, infinity, or spirit stands for the possible..."
