“All I have is broken.
Broken mends best.”
Amy K. Sorrells, How Sweet the Sound

“There’s always letting go to do here on earth, Jaycee. But the Lord, he never lets go. And because of him, we never have to either.”
Amy K. Sorrells, Before I Saw You

“sometimes I wake up in the morning, and I have to make the right choice again. The shadow of bitterness comes that fast on a heart. And each time I choose, I learn again—nan tout bagay, Bondye ap travay pou byen pou moun ki renmen l. God works for good. Romans 8:28.”
Amy K. Sorrells, How Sweet the Sound

“The love of learning, the sequestered nooks,
And all the sweet serenity of books”
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

“Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor, the enemy of the people. It will keep you cramped and insane your whole life, and it is the main obstacle between you and a shitty first draft. I think perfectionism is based on the obsessive belief that if you run carefully enough, hitting each stepping-stone just right, you won't have to die. The truth is that you will die anyway and that a lot of people who aren't even looking at their feet are going to do a whole lot better than you, and have a lot more fun while they're doing it.”
Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

“Poetry is the fiery index to the genius of the age.”
Babette Deutsch

“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.”
W.B. Yeats
