Yes I know: the thread you have to keep finding, over again, to follow it back to life; I know. Impossible, sometimes.

Jean Valentine

[fatandbonepress]

America, you must be born again.

Martin Luther King Jr

[fatandbonepress]

The true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible and indescribable as the tints of morning or evening. It is a little star-dust caught, a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched.

Henry David Thoreau

[fatandbonepress]

Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.

Voltaire

[fatandbonepress]

I have never tried that before, so I think I should definitely be able to do that.

Pippi Longstocking

[fatandbonepress]

My life has been the poem I would have writ But I could not both live and utter it.

Henry David Thoreau

[fatandbonepress]

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

Maya Angelou

[fatandbonepress]

I wish God were still alive so he could see us now.

[fatandbonepress]

If you can't go to Heaven, May you die in Ireland

Traditional Irish blessing

[fatandbonepress]

Not under foreign skies protection Or saving wings of alien birth - I was then there - with whole my nation - There, where my nation, alas!, was.

Anna Akhmatova, Requiem

[fatandbonepress]

I distrust summaries, any kind of gliding through time, any too great a claim that one is in control of what one recounts; I think someone who claims to understand but is obviously calm, someone who claims to write with emotion recollected in tranquility, is a fool and a liar. To understand is to tremble. To recollect is to re-enter and be riven... I admire the authority of being on one's knees in front of an event.

Harold Brodkey

[fatandbonepress]

Nothing forces us to know What we do not want to know Except pain

Aeschylus

[fatandbonepress]

Everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance.

Kurt Vonnegut

[fatandbonepress]

Adam had a time, whether long or short, when he could wander about on a fresh and peaceful earth... But poor Eve found him there, with all his claims upon her, the moment she looked into the world.

Isak Dinesen

[fatandbonepress]

Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.

Oscar Wilde

[fatandbonepress]

Limited in nature, infinite in his desires, man is a fallen god who remembers the heavens.

Alphonse de Lamartine

[fatandbonepress]

When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

Wendell Berry
