Emma Hart
“True love never dies. It only fades, lingering below the surface until we’re ready for it again. Until fate puts us in the right place and the right time and that simmering love can come alive again.”
Emma Hart, Late Call

Dacher Keltner
“Tears, then, arise when we perceive vast things that unite us into community.”
Dacher Keltner, Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life

“So they named vaginas "that thing that exists for a penis to go in." Literally, the word vagina comes from the Latin word for "sword holder.”
Zoe Mendelson, Pussypedia: A Comprehensive Guide

Dacher Keltner
“Tap into your childlike sense of wonder. Young children are in an almost constant state of awe since everything is so new to them. During your walk, try to approach what you see with fresh eyes, imagining that you’re seeing it for the first time. Take a moment in each walk to take in the vastness of things, for example in looking at a panoramic view or up close at the detail of a leaf or flower. Go somewhere new. Each week, try to choose a new location. You’re more likely to feel awe in a novel environment where the sights and sounds are unexpected and unfamiliar to you. That said, some places never seem to get old, so there’s nothing wrong with revisiting your favorite spots if you find that they consistently fill you with awe. The key is to recognize new features of the same old place.”
Dacher Keltner, Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life

John Barth
“Pete finds his faith shaken by the realization that meaning is a contrivance—that it is conferred on our lives post hoc, by narrative. John Barth, The Tidewater Tales”
