"For my part I know nothing with any certainty,

but the sight of the stars makes me dream…"

which way?

no way.

they've got the right idea...

"We’re in a free fall into future.

We don’t know where we’re going. Things are changing so fast.

And always when you’re going through a long tunnel,

anxiety comes along.

But all you have to do

to transform your hell into a paradise

is to turn your fall into a voluntary act.

It’s a very interesting shift of perspective …

Joyfully participate in the sorrows of the world

and everything changes."

— Joseph Campbell, Sukhavati

and if nothing

goes right... go left...

"we are all travelers in the wilderness of this world,

and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend."

-rober louis, Stand By Me

"only after a disaster can we be resurrected.

it's only after you've lost everything

that you're free to do anything

nothing is static

everything is evolving

everything is falling apart"

-chuck palahniuk - fight club

"A little nonsense now and then, is cherished by the wisest men." - Roald Dahl

"We felt the imprisonment of being a girl, the way it made your mind active and dreamy, and how you ended up knowing which colors went together. We knew that the girls were our twins, that we all existed in space like animals with identical skins, and that they knew everything about us though we couldn’t fathom them at all. We knew, finally, that the girls were really women in disguise, that they understood love and even death, and that our job was merely to create the noise that seemed to fascinate them."

— Jeffrey Eugenides, The Virgin Suicides

today i am listening to: she & him - in the sun

what a darling that zooey d.

i feel a little claustrophobic lately.

i need to start having better dreams.

"And she felt as though she had been there, on that bench,

for an eternity.

For an infinity of passion

can be contained in one minute,

like a crowd in a small space."

— Gustave Flaubert

"you drown not by falling into a river,

but by staying submerged in it."

-paolo coelho

sometimes i think.
sometimes i don't.

ten points for the guy on the left.

"jump start my kaleidoscope heart.

love to watch the colors fade" - sara bareilles

these bones are mere accessories

"faced with a dodo's conundrum

i felt like i could just fly

but nothing happened every time i tried" - the shins

i want to exist in this moment:

not when the wave crashes on the shore,

not when the water sits still on itself,

but in the spray.

when it gets to reach up to the sky,

and hold there.

(even if just for a second)

"i'm not interested in money.

i just want to be wonderful."

-marilyn monroe

the days shoot past me like freight trains--

each one shifting down the rails

taking with it all my minutes...

all the moments i didn't even know i let go.

to be nobody but yourself

in a world which is doing its best,

night and day,

to make you everybody else

means to fight the hardest battle

which any human being can fight;

and never stop fighting.

-e.e. cummings

"i'm not going to tell you the story
