Lysander Grey

“It is real life that takes the real courage, little wildcat. School is very difficult. But that’s because it takes toughness and patience. It’s what life is, my love. Although life is very beautiful, it is also very difficult.”
― Katherine Rundell, Cartwheeling in Thunderstorms

“Lilac and star and bird twined with the chant of my soul,
There in the fragrant pines and the cedars dusk and dim.”
― Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass

“Now, however, on hard days, I can look at death kindly and not feel it as a beckoning force, but a gentle, distant rain sweeping toward me from the west, a rain I will find soaking the parched earth at my feet one day. One day. And I can think of that inevitable day without frantically trampling through the fields of flowers ahead of me while rushing to meet those curtains of falling water.”
― Jarod K. Anderson, Something in the Woods Loves You

“Dire and beyond all healing is the hate
When hearts that loved are turned to enmity.”
― Euripides, Medea
