“Literature can teach us how to live before we live, and how to die before we die. I believe that writing is practice for death, and for every (other) transformation human beings encounter.”
― Jayne Anne Phillips

“I am convinced that the deepest desire within each of us is to be liberated from the controlling influences of our own psychic madness or patterns of fear. All other things—the disdain of ordinary life, the need to control others rather than be controlled, the craving for material goods as a means of security and protection against the winds of chaos—are external props that serve as substitutes for the real battle, which is the one waged within the individual soul.”
― Caroline Myss

“Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.”
― Rumi

“Sometimes,
all you can do
is lie in bed,
and hope
to fall asleep
before
you fall apart.”
― William C. Hannan
