Nothing is worth more than laughter. It is strength to laugh and to abandon oneself, to be light. Tragedy is the most ridiculous thing. Frida Kahlo
Not just beautiful, though — the stars are like the trees in the forest, alive and breathing. And they’re watching me. What I’ve up till now, what I’m going to do — they know it all. Nothing gets past their watchful eyes. As I sit there under the shining night sky, again a violent fear takes hold of me. My heart’s pounding a mile a minute, and I can barely breathe. All these millions of stars looking down on me, and I’ve never given them more than a passing thought before. Not just the stars... Haruki Murakami

I write because I want to have more than one life. Anne Tyler
The world in books seemed so much more alive to me than anything outside. I could see things I'd never seen before. Books and music were my best friends. I had a couple of good friends at school, but never met anyone I could really speak my heart to. We'd just make small talk, play soccer together. When something bothered me, I didn't talk with anyone about it. I thought it over all by myself, came to a conclusion, and took action alone. Not that I really felt lonely. I thought that's just... Haruki Murakami

Theres no stink more sorrorful than the stink of wet, burnt paper. It means: the end. Terry Prachett
Christopher Hitchens quote: "At a certain point talk about 'essence' and 'oneness' and the..."
At a certain point talk about 'essence' and 'oneness' and the universal becomes more tautological than inquisitive. Christopher Hitchens
Peter Ackroyd quote: "Sometimes the silences, the gaps, tell us more than anything..."
Sometimes the silences, the gaps, tell us more than anything else. Peter Ackroyd
I think perhaps we want a more conscious life. We're tired of drudging and sleeping and dying. We're tired of seeing just a few people able to be individualists. We're tired of always deferring hope till the next generation. We're tired of hearing politicians and priests and cautious reformers... coax us, 'Be calm! Be patient! Wait! We have the plans for a Utopia already made; just wiser than you.' For ten thousand years they've said that. We want our Utopia now? and we're going to try our... Sinclair Lewis

We should get a move on you know... ask someone. He's right. We don't want to end up with a pair of trolls."Hermione let out a sputter of indignation. "A pair of... what excuse me?"Well - you know," said Ron shrugging. "I'd rather go alone than with - with Eloise Midgen, say."Her acne's loads better lately - and she's really nice."Her nose's off-centre," said Ron."Oh I see," Hermione said bristling. "So basically you're going to take the best-looking girl who'll have you even if she's... J. K. Rowling
Ernest Hemingway quote: "No animal has more liberty than the cat, but it buries the..."
No animal has more liberty than the cat, but it buries the mess it makes. The cat is the best anarchist. Ernest Hemingway
For us is the life of action, of strenuous performance of duty; let us live in the harness, striving mightily; let us rather run the risk of wearing out than rusting out. Theodore Roosevelt
