on change & rebirth:

1. “How much can you change and get away with it, before you turn into someone else, before it’s some kind of murder?” (richard siken, from “portrait of fryderyk in shifting light”)

2. “Part of me died so another could go on. The body I raised and abandoned still walking the path on the hill where I became larger than myself and the day could no longer contain me.” (marty mcconnell, from “when they say you can’t go home again, what they mean is you were never there”)

3.

(juan arata)

4. “It is never late to ask yourself ‘Am I ready to change my life, am I ready to change myself?’ However old we are, whatever we went through, it is always possible to be reborn. If each day is a copy of the last one, what a pity! Every breath is a change to be reborn. But to be reborn into a new life, you have to die before dying.” (shams tabrizi)

5. “People change and forget to tell each other.” (lillian hellman)

6. “I’m always thinking of going back. When Lot’s wife looked over her shoulder, she turned into a pillar of salt. Pillars hold things up, and salt keeps things clean, but it’s a poor exchange for losing yourself. People do go back, but they don’t survive, because two realities are claiming them at the same time.” (jeanette winterson, from “oranges are not the only fruit”)
