| 0ebf9a5 | Love of music, of sunsets and sea; a liking for the same kind of people; political opinions that are not radically divergent; a similar stance as we look at the stars and think of the marvelous strangeness of the universe - these are what build a marriage.

Cummings | ||
| 883f8f7 | It's great that you can listen and be a shoulder to someone, but what about when someone doesn't need a shoulder? What if they need the arms or something like that? You can't just sit there and put everybody's lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love. You just can't. You have to do things. | self-fulfillment | Stephen Chbosky | |

| 39f009b | Over the last couple of years, the photos of me when I was a kid... well, they've started to give me a little pang or something - not unhappiness, exactly, but some kind of quiet, deep regret... I keep wanting to apologize to the little guy: "I'm sorry, I've let you down.

| 59f5f92 | The preachers and lecturers deal with men of straw, as they are men of straw themselves. Why, a free-spoken man, of sound lungs, cannot draw a long breath without causing your rotten institutions to come toppling down by the vacuum he makes. Your church is a baby-house made of blocks, and so of the state. ...The church, the state, the school, the magazine, think they are liberal and free! It is the freedom of a prison-yard. | free magazine men-of-straw straw-men rotten preachers liberal self-deception prison state school | Henry David Thoreau | |

| f5ccab1 | I've dreamed a lot. I'm tired now from dreaming but not tired of dreaming.

In dreams I have achieved everything. | sleep dreams dreamless forgetting tired dreaming | Fernando Pessoa | |

Earth's the right place for love: I don't know where it's likely to go better. | time nature youth love | Robert Frost | |
| 61068fd | I have a lot of faith. But I am also afraid a lot, and have no real certainty about anything. I remembered something Father Tom had told me--that the opposite of faith is not doubt, but certainty. Certainty is missing the point entirely. Faith includes noticing the mess, the emptiness and discomfort, and letting it be there until some light returns. | Anne Lamott | ||
| 3a9ed1a | SITTING TIGHT? Holing up? Waiting for answers? Those are things I'm not good at. Planning a massive attack against mechanical geeky-like things when i was already furious and itching to kill something? Piece o'cake | holing o picec sitting up geeks | James Patterson | |
