T.S. Eliot
“Books. Cats. Life is good.”
T.S. Eliot

Natasha Trethewey
“In Poetry as Survival, Gregory Orr asks the survivor’s questions about violence: How could I have been that close and not been destroyed by it? Why was I spared?—questions that can initiate in a writer the quest for meaning and purpose. “But this quest born out of trauma doesn’t simply lead the survivor forward,” he writes. “First it leads him or her backward, back to the scene of the trauma where the struggle must take place with the demon or angel who incarnates the mystery of violence and the mystery of rebirth and transformation.” He is referring to Lorca’s idea of duende: a demon that drives an artist, causing trouble or pain and an acute awareness of death. Of the demon’s effect on an artist’s work, Lorca wrote: “In trying to heal the wound that never heals lies the strangeness.”
Natasha Trethewey, Memorial Drive: A Daughter's Memoir

Allen Carr
“The whole business of smoking is like forcing yourself to wear tight shoes just to get the pleasure of taking them off.”
Allen Carr, The Easyway to Stop Smoking

Thomas Mann
“At thirty a man steps out of the darkness and wasteland of preparation into active life it is the time to show oneself, the time of fulfillment.”
Thomas Mann, Joseph and His Brothers

Glennon Doyle Melton
“I'm not a mess but a deeply feeling person in a messy world. I explain that now, when someone asks me why I cry so often, I say, 'For the same reason I laugh so often--because I'm paying attention.' I tell them that we can choose to be perfect and admired or to be real and loved. We must decide.”
Glennon Doyle Melton, Love Warrior
