Jerry Garcia
“I read somewhere that 77 percent of all the mentally ill live in poverty. Actually, I'm more intrigued by the 23 percent who are apparently doing quite well for themselves.”
Jerry Garcia

Marcel Proust
“Always try to keep a patch of sky above your life.”
Marcel Proust, Swann’s Way

Tom Robbins
“When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.”
Tom Robbins

Elizabeth Gilbert
“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that’s holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.

Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then they leave.”
Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

Jack Kerouac
“Maybe that's what life is... a wink of the eye and winking stars. ”
Jack Kerouac, Selected Letters, 1940-1956
