• The Little Boy and the Old Man

Said the little boy, "Sometimes I drop my spoon." Said the old man, "I do that, too." The little boy whispered, "I wet my pants." "I do that too," laughed the little old man. Said the little boy, "I often cry." The old man nodded, "So do I." "But worst of all," said the boy, "it seems Grown-ups don't pay attention to me." And he felt the warmth of a wrinkled old hand. "I know what you mean," said the little old man.

-- Shel Silverstein

• in an effort to get people to look into each other's eyes more, the government has decided to allot each person exactly one hundred and sixty-seven words, per day.

when the phone rings, i put it to my ear without saying hello. in the restaurant, i point at chicken noodle soup. i am adjusting well to the new way.

late at night, i call my long- distance lover and proudly say: "i only used fifty-nine today. i saved the rest for you."

when she doesn't respond, i know she's used up all her words, so i slowly whisper i love you, thirty-two and a third times. after that, we just sit on the line and listen to each other breathe.

-The Quiet World by Jeffrey McDaniel

• "The sound of a kiss is much softer than that of a canon - but it's echo lasts a great deal longer."

Queen Marie

• “… Whatever it is you’re seeking won’t come in the form you’re expecting.” - murakami
• “Anyone who falls in love is searching for the missing pieces of themselves. So anyone who’s in love gets sad when they think of their lover. It’s like stepping back inside a room you have fond memories of, one you haven’t seen in a long time. It’s just a natural feeling…”

--Oshima, murakami

• "Eventually something you love is going to be taken away. And then you will fall to the floor crying. And then, however much later, it is finally happening to you: you’re falling to the floor crying thinking, “I am falling to the floor crying,” but there’s an element of the ridiculous to it — you knew it would happen and, even worse, while you’re on the floor crying you look at the place where the wall meets the floor and you realize you didn’t paint it very well and when you’re having sex with your next lover on this very floor they will also notice that you didn’t paint it very well and they will think less of you for it. And then you think, “Is that sentence too long?” and then you have to hold the contradictions of sobbing uncontrollably and wondering about grammar in your head at the same time."

Richard Siken

• “ A lot of people like to fool you and say that you’re not smart if you never went to college, but common sense rules over everything. That’s what I learned from selling crack - Snoop Dogg
• I must learn to love the fool in me - the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries. It alone protects me against that utterly self-controlled masterful tyrant whom I also harbor and who would rob me of human aliveness, humility, and dignity but for my fool. Theodore Isaac Rubin
• "You’re in a car with a beautiful boy, and he won’t tell you that he loves you, but he loves you. And you feel like you’ve done something terrible, like robbed a liquor store, or swallowed pills, or shoveled yourself a grave in the dirt, and you’re tired. You’re in a car with a beautiful boy, and you’re trying not to tell him that you love him, and you’re trying to choke down the feeling, and you’re trembling, but he reaches over and he touches you, like a prayer for which no words exist, and you feel your heart taking root in your body, like you’ve discovered something you didn’t even have a name for."

Richard Siken, Crush

• “You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”

• I’m selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes. I’m out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best. -Marilyn Monroe
• After awhile you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul and you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t mean security, and you learn that kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises and you begin to acceptyour defeats with your head up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child, and you learn to build all your roads ontoday because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans. So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure, that you really are strong, and you really do have worth.

- Veronica A. Shoffstall

• There’s a trick to the “graceful exit.” It begins with the vision to recognize when a job, a life stage, or a relationship is over — and let it go. It means leaving what’s over without denying its validity or its past importance to our lives. It involves a sense of future, a belief that every exit line is an entry, that we are moving up, rather than out. Ellen Goodman
• Don’t ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. Harold Whitman

• "So you mustn't be frightened, dear Mr. Kappus, if a sadness rises in front of you, larger than any you have ever seen; if an anxiety - like light and cloud-shadows, moves over your hands and everything you do. You must realize that something is happening to you, that life has not forgotten you, that it holds you in the palm of its hand and will not let you fall." - Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
• "Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom" (Kierkegaard)
• another person's success is not your failure
• “The problem with playing little games like “don’t call him, let him call you,” is that while they may attract the type of guy who loves the chase — don’t you have to spend your life running away? What is wrong with going with your gut and acting on instinct? Sometimes you’ll fuck up, but you’ll learn a lesson, and you won’t have a random best-seller to blame or thank — you’ll learn to rely on yourself.”

Be very, very careful what you put into that head, because you will never, ever get it out.” — Thomas Cardinal Wolsey
