“Books are the mile markers of my life. Some people have family photos or home movies to record their past. I’ve got books. Characters. For as long as I can remember, books have been my safe place.”
― Kristin Hannah, The Great Alone

“Life is amazing. And then it's awful. And then it's amazing again. And in between the amazing and awful it's ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That's just living heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it's breathtakingly beautiful.”
― L.R. Knost

“A mariposa, atraída pela luz do deslumbre de sua lâmpada noturna, está condenada a perecer no azeite viscoso. A alma incauta, que não logra travar tal luta com o demônio burlão da ilusão, retornará a este mundo como escravo do Desejo.
Olha as hostes das Almas. Vê como elas pairam sobre o mar tempestuoso da vida humana. E como, exaustas, sangrando, de asas quebradas, vão caindo, uma após a outra, nas ondas encapeladas. Batidas pelos ventos ferozes, perseguidas pelos vendavais, são arrastadas paras os sorvedouros fatais e somem pelo primeiro vórtice que encontram. Se passando pela Sala da Sabedoria pretendes chegar ao Vale da Felicidade, fecha, discípulo, os teus sentidos á grande e cruel heresia da Separação, que é aquela que te aparta dos demais homens. Tomara que aquilo que em ti é de Origem Divina não se separe, arrastando-te para o mundano mar de Ilusão (...)”

“There is no one way. The is no one path. There is you, your cards, and your gift. That’s it. Read a lot. Watch other readers. Practice on your friends (and tell them that you’re practicing). You can figure out your style with some research and time. No worries. Remember, this is supposed to be fun. In tarot readings (and in all other things), please stop comparing yourself to other people. Compare yourself to yourself.”
