“People come, people go - they’ll drift in and out of your life, almost like characters in a favorite book. When you finally close the cover,the characters have told their story and you start up again with another book, complete with new characters and adventures. Then you find yourself focusing on the new ones, not the ones from the past.”
"If you look back on the events of the year, whether good or bad, and you don’t get tears in your eyes, it was all a waste of time."

"“You are free You are free in front of the noon day sun You are free before the moon and you are free before the stars And you are free when there is no sun You are free when there is no moon and there’s not a single star But you are a slave; you are a slave to the one you love because you love him And you are a slave to the one you love because he loves you back” -Arabic Poem as said by Dan Choi"
Between friends,
nothing would seem stranger to me than true intimacy.
What seems genuine, truly real, is thinking of you, how
that makes me feel. You are dead. And you’ll never
write again about the country, that’s true.
But the people in the sky really love
to have dinner & to talk a walk with you.
- Frank O’Hara
"“When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew. “ Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Act II, Scene II. “Doubt thou the stars are fire, Doubt the sun doth move, Doubt truth to be a liar but never doubt thy love.” Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Act II, Scene II"

I would like to watch you sleeping,
which may not happen.
I would like to watch you,
sleeping. I would like to sleep
with you, to enter
your sleep as its smooth dark wave
slides over my head.
and walk with you through that lucent
wavering forest of bluegreen leaves
with its watery sun & three moons
towards the cave where you must descend,
towards your worst fear
I would like to give you the silver
branch, the small white flower, the one
word that will protect you
from the grief at the center
of your dream, from the grief
at the center. I would like to follow
you up the long stairway
again & become
the boat that would row you back
carefully, a flame
in two cupped hands
to where your body lies
beside me, and you enter
it as easily as beathing in
I would like to be the air
that inhabits you for a moment
only. I would like to be that unnoticed
& that necessary.
Margaret Atwood
"I walked a mile with Pleasure; She chatted all the way; But left me none the wiser For all she had to say. I walked a mile with Sorrow, And ne’er a word said she; But, oh! The things I learned from her, When sorrow walked with me. -Robert Browning Hamilton"
“Life is to be lived. If you have to support yourself, you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting. And you don’t do that by sitting around wondering about yourself.”
