“Lilly and I just stood there looking at each other like we couldn't believe it. I still can't. Who are these people, and why do I have to be incarcerated with them on a daily basis?”
― Meg Cabot, The Princess Diaries

“Three Things To Remember

As long as you're dancing, you can
break the rules.
Sometimes breaking the rules is just
extending the rules.


Sometimes there are no rules.”
― Mary Oliver

“During the blue night you think the end of day will never come. As the blue nights draw to a close (and they will, and they do) you experience an actual chill, an apprehension of illness, at the moment you first notice: the blue light is going, the days are already shortening, the summer is gone. This book is called "Blue Nights" because at the time I began it I found my mind turning increasingly to illness, to the end of promise, the dwindling of the days, the inevitability of the fading, the dying of the brightness. Blue nights are the opposite of the dying of the brightness, but they are also its warning.”
― Joan Didion, Blue Nights

“Maybe I am a slow learner, but ultimately, it is a choice. I choose not to be a cynic. Living my life suspecting everyone's motives, thinking the worst of people, is no life at all. Letting people get close to you is always a risk. Though I have learned to be careful, I am unwilling to shut myself off completely.”
― Priscilla Beaulieu Presley, Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis
