George Burns
“Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.”
George Burns

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing

I'll meet you there.

When the soul lies down in that grass

Rumi

William Shakespeare
“These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honey

William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

Sylvia Plath
“I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart. I am, I am, I am.”
Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

F. Scott Fitzgerald
“There must have been moments even that afternoon when Daisy tumbled short of his dreams -- not through her own fault, but because of the colossal vitality of his illusion.

No amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man will store up in his ghostly heart.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
