“No
matter how careful you are, there's going to be the sense you missed something,
the collapsed feeling under your skin that you didn't experience it all.
There's that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments
where you should've been paying attention.
Well,
get used to that feeling. That's how your whole life will feel some day.
This
is all practice.”

Chuck Palahniuk, Invisible Monsters

Marie Curie
“I
am awfully greedy; I want everything from life. I want to be a woman and to be
a man, to have many friends and to have loneliness, to work much and write good
books, to travel and enjoy myself, to be selfish and to be unselfish… You see,
it is difficult to get all which I want. And then when I do not succeed I get
mad with anger.”
―
Simone de Beauvoir
“I
sit beside the fire and think
Of
all that I have seen
Of
meadow flowers and butterflies
In
summers that have been
Of
yellow leaves and gossamer
In
autumns that there were
With
morning mist and silver sun
And
wind upon my hair
I
sit beside the fire and think
Of
how the world will be
When
winter comes without a spring
That
I shall ever see
For
still there are so many things
That
I have never seen
In
every wood in every spring
There
is a different green
I
sit beside the fire and think
Of
people long ago
And
people that will see a world
That
I shall never know
But
all the while I sit and think
Of
times there were before
I
listen for returning feet
And
voices at the door”
―
J.R.R. Tolkien
“Even
After
All
this time
The
Sun never says to the Earth,
"You
owe me."
Look
What
happens
With
a love like that,
It
lights the whole sky.”
―
Hafiz
