    Behcet Kaya
    “Fringe winds from Hurricane Lori rushed in, carrying dust and debris. It blew through the highceilinged, chandeliered lobby and back into the wide open doors of the elegant and intimate dining room. White linen tablecloths fluttered and napkins flew in the air, sending plates and silverware crashing to the floor.”

    Robert Graves
    “On Portents

    If strange things happen where she is,
    So that men say that graves open
    And the dead walk, or that futurity
    Becomes a womb and the unborn are shed,
    Such portents are not to be wondered at,
    Being tourbillions in Time made
    By the strong pulling of her bladed mind
    Through that ever-reluctant element.”
    ― Robert Graves

    Emem Uko
    “She was knowingly punishing herself. That was the only reasonable explanation. There was no use in acting naive. What happened earlier in the day was proof that she was going to give in to his flirtation. It appeared she'd thrown caution to the wind and opened her arms to embrace everything that could go wrong in her life. What's one more problem to add to the pile?”

    Elizabeth Gilbert
    “How much do you love me?' and "Who's in charge?" ....these two questions of LOVE and CONTROL undo us ALL, trip us up and cause war, grief, and suffering.


    People follow different paths, straight or crooked, according to their temperament, depending on which they consider best, or most appropriate -- and all reach You, just as rivers enter the ocean.”
    ― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love
