"“She’s sure these men who run the field [of forestry] will have to fall, next year or the year after. And up from the downed trunks of their beliefs will spring rich new undergrowth.”" — Jan 19, 2025 05:37PM

Sometimes when you are trying not to think about something it keeps popping back into your head you can’t help it you think about it and think about it and think about it until your brain feels like a squashed pea.
“The things we fear the most are often the things we should fear the least. It’s irrational, but it’s what makes us human. And if we’re able to conquer those fears, then there is nothing we’re not capable of.”

“That’s what I dislike most of all in people – cold irony. It’s a very cowardly attitude to mock or belittle everything, never be committed to anything, not feel tied to anything. Like an impotent man who can’t experience pleasure himself, but will do all he can to ruin it for others.”

“Just because you don’t experience prejudice in your everyday doesn’t stop it from existing for the rest of us.”

“I am but paper. Brittle and thin. I am held up to the sun, and it shines right through me. I get written on, and I can never be used again. These scratches are a history. They’re a story. They tell things for others to read, but they only see the words, and not what the words are written upon. I am but paper, and though there are many like me, none are exactly the same. I am parched parchment. I have lines. I have holes. Get me wet, and I melt. Light me on fire, and I burn. Take me in hardened hands, and I crumple. I tear. I am but paper. Brittle and thin.”
