“All the sorrows of life are bearable if only
we can convert them into a story.”

“Though soulmates aren't looking for you, they will find you.”
Kevin Ansbro

Isak Dinesen
“The plan which I had formed in the beginning, to give in in all minor matters, so as to keep what was of vital importance to me, had turned out to be a failure. I had consented to give away my possessions one by one, as a kind of ransom for my own life, but by the time that I had nothing left, I myself was the lightest thing of all, for fate to get rid of.”
Isak Dinesen, Out of Africa

Isak Dinesen
“The old lady continued, "We women, my child, are often very simple. But that any female would lack reason to such a degree that she would start reasoning with a man--that is beyond my comprehension! She has lost the battle, my dear child, she has lost the battle before it began! No, if a woman will have her way with a man she must look him square in the eye and say something of which it is impossible for him to make any sense whatsoever and to which he is at a loss to reply. He is defeated at once.”
Isak Dinesen, Daguerreotypes and Other Essays
