N.H. Kleinbaum
“We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion.”
N.H. Kleinbaum, Dead Poets Society

Merlin Franco
“The best way to make a line appear shorter without touching it is to draw a longer line next to it. It works with grief, too.”
Merlin Franco, Saint Richard Parker

“Every day that passed, the young woman thought more and understood less”
Sergio Cobo, A Story of Yesterday

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
“The idea that letting go may be positive can be difficult until we realize that much of life is supposed to be lived with ease. We are not supposed to be in situations where we are banging our heads against the wall.”
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, Life Lessons: Two Experts on Death and Dying Teach Us About the Mysteries of Life and Living

V (formerly Eve Ensler)
“You lived in constant anxiety and dread, and these emotions eventually became the neurotic ingredients of your character. (I am sure it’s why you later drank and did drugs, trying to soothe yourself.) This high-level stress made it impossible for you to think or study or play or dream or learn or concentrate or remember anything. You could not relax. You did not sleep.”
V (formerly Eve Ensler), The Apology
