“Impeccable Kindness” available as a paperback

Hi there!

Britt’s Recent Updates

Anaïs Nin
“Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.”
Anais Nin

Anne Sexton
“I am God, la de dah.”
Anne Sexton, The Complete Poems

Leonard Cohen
“It’s a pity if someone… has to console himself for the wreck of his days with the notion that somehow his voice, his work embodies the deepest, most obscure, freshest, rawest oyster of reality in the unfathomable refrigerator of the heart’s ocean, but I am such a one, and there you have it.”
Leonard Cohen, Stranger Music: Selected Poems and Songs

Dorothy Parker
“You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think.”
Dorothy Parker, You Might As Well Live: The Life and Times of Dorothy Parker

Rainer Maria Rilke
“Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
