“When life reaches out with a moment like this, it's a sin if you don't reach back.”
― Matthew Quick, The Silver Linings Playbook

“To all the talented young men who wander about feeling that there is nothing in the world for them to do, I should say: 'Give up trying to write, and, instead, try not to write. Go out into the world; become a pirate, a king in Borneo, a labourer in Soviet Russia; give yourself an existence in which the satisfaction of elementary physical needs will occupy almost all your energies.' I do not recommend this course of action to everyone, but only to those who suffer from the disease which Mr Krutch diagnoses. I believe that, after some years of such an existence, the ex-intellectual will fin that in spite of is efforts he can no longer refrain from writing, and when this time comes his writing will not seem to him futile.”
― Bertrand Russell, The Conquest of Happiness

“I...have a woman in my arms who has suffered greatly and desperately needs to believe once again that she is beautiful.”

“Nothing is so exhausting as indecision, and nothing is so futile.”
