I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)”
― Sylvia Plath

― Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead

“You're beautiful, but you're empty...One couldn't die for you. Of course, an ordinary passerby would think my rose looked just like you. But my rose, all on her own, is more important than all of you together, since she's the one I've watered. Since she's the one I put under glass, since she's the one I sheltered behind the screen. Since she's the one for whom I killed the caterpillars (except the two or three butterflies). Since she's the one I listened to when she complained, or when she boasted, or even sometimes when she said nothing at all. Since she's my rose.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

“the buddhists say there are 149 ways to god. i'm not looking for god, only for myself, and that is far more complicated.”
― Jeanette Winterson, Sexing the Cherry
