"We should make all spiritual talk simple today. God is trying sell you something but you dont want to buy. That is what your suffering is: Your fantastic haggling Your manic screaming Over price.”
Hafiz (Manic Screaming)
Don’t romanticise your ‘vocation.’ You can either write good sentences or you can’t. There is no ‘writer’s lifestyle.’ All that matters is what you leave on the page.

I passed COMPS! Officially a PhD candidate! (makes you wonder what you've been the past two and a half years... but who cares now? :D)
How I imagine my COMPS exam going tomorrow.
Much needed comic relief :)
Honesty doesn't always pay, but dishonesty always costs.
Michael Josephson
Every man, when he gets quiet, when he becomes desperately honest with himself, is capable of uttering profound truths. We all derive from the same source. There is no mystery about the origin of things. We are all part of creation, all kings, all poets, all musicians; we have only to open up, only to discover what is already there.
Henry Miller
Forgiveness... is an act of self defense, a tourniquet that stops the fatal bleeding of resentment.
Gary Thomas (Sacred Marriage)
I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness, and the willingness to remain vulnerable.
Ann Morrow Lindbergh
She was weary of being outdoors, but she was not ready to go in. Was that really all there was in life, indoors or out? Wasn’t there somewhere else for people to go?
Ian McEwan (Atonement)
The right dose differentiates a poison and a remedy.
Paracelsus (1493-1541)
“And when we try and listen, all we hear is a whispering. And we cannot understand the whispering, because our minds have been invaded by a war. A war that we have both won and lost. The very worst sort of war. A war that captures dreams and re-dreams them. A war that has made us adore our conquerors and despise ourselves.”
Arundhati Roy (The God of Small Things)
The liar’s punishment is, not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else.
