“Change, like healing, takes time.”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant

“Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout with some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand.”
― George Orwell, Why I Write

“I’ve heard that the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea has some of the best bird-watching in the region, with a rare crane species that survives in the buffer of wilderness provided by a history of war. Wouldn’t that be nice, if rare birds were living in every country’s outline?”
― Ben Shattuck, Six Walks: In the Footsteps of Henry David Thoreau

“about
our argument tonight
whatever it was
about
and
no matter
how unhappy
it made us
feel

remember that
there is a
cat
somewhere
adjusting to the
space of itself
with a delightful
wonderment of
easiness.

in other words
magic persists
without us
no matter what
we do
against it.”
― Charles Bukowski, On Cats
