I am flushed and warm. I think I may be enormous, I am so stupidly happy, My wellingtons. Squelching and squelching through the beautiful red. Sylvia Plath
That’s all I think about these days. Must be because I have so much time to kill every day. When you don’t have anything to do, your thoughts get really, really far out-so far out you can’t follow them all the way to the end. Haruki Murakami
Stephenie Meyer quote: "You think I should be as forgiving as you are? We can’t all be..."
You think I should be as forgiving as you are? We can’t all be saints and martyrs. Stephenie Meyer
I was thinking", he answered absently, "about Euripides; how, when he was an old man, he went and lived in a cave by the sea, and it was thought queer at the time. It seems that houses had become insupportable to him. I wonder whether it was because he had observed women so closely all his life. Willa Cather

It's funny, but have you ever noticed that the more special something is, the more people seem to take it for granted? It's like they think it won't ever change. Just like this house here.
