I stare at her chest. As she breathes, the rounded peaks move up and down like the swell of waves, somehow reminding me of rain falling softly on a broad stretch of sea. I'm the lonely voyager standing on deck, and she's the sea. The sky is a blanket of gray, merging with the gray sea off on the horizon. It's hard to tell the difference between sea and sky. Between voyager and sea. Between reality and the workings of the heart. Haruki Murakami
Art Spiegelman quote: "if they brought you here, They'll put you to work. THEY'RE not..."

One day a long time from now you'll cease to care anymore whom you please or what anybody has to say about you. That's when you'll finally produce the work you're capable of. J. D. Salinger
On the one hand, the Republicans are telling industrial workers that the high cost of food in the cities is due to this government's farm policy. On the other hand, the Republicans are telling the farmers that the high cost of manufactured goods on the farm is due to this government's labor policy. That's plain hokum. It's an old political trick: "If you can't convince 'em, confuse 'em." But this time it won't work. Harry S. Truman
Vincent Van Gogh quote: "The victory one would gain after a whole life of work and..."
The victory one would gain after a whole life of work and effort is better than one that is gained sooner. Vincent Van Gogh
Nicholas Sparks quote: "Sometimes, things don't work out the way we want them to."
Sometimes, things don't work out the way we want them to. Nicholas Sparks
The harder I try to realistically portray real things, the more the things that appear in my work have a tendency to become unreal. Haruki Murakami

"Only those who believe obey" is what we say to that part of a believer's soul which obeys, and "only those who obey believe" is what we say to that part of the soul of the obedient which believes. If the first half of the proposition stands alone, the believer is exposed to the... Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Never mind. Point being that you don't have to get too worked up about us, dear educated minds. You don't have to think of us aas real girls, real flesh and blood, real pain, real injustice. That might be too upsetting. Just discard the sordid part. Consider us pure symbol. We're no more real than money. Margaret Atwood
I like pouring your tea, liftingthe heavy pot, and tipping it up, so the fragrant liquid steams in your china cup. Or when you're away or at work, I like to think of your cupped hands as you sip, as you sip, of the faint half-smile of your lips. Carol Ann Duffy
What are you doing extra? That's what counts. That's when you're working hard - when you're going above and over what's expected of you" (102). - Tony Gonzalez, "The Giant Within Denzel Washington
