“If television's a babysitter, the Internet is a drunk librarian who won't shut up.”
Dorothy Gambrell, Cat and Girl Volume I

Roberto Bolaño
“Metaphors are our way of losing ourselves in semblances or treading water in a sea of seeming.”
Roberto Bolaño, 2666

Friedrich Nietzsche
“What, then, is truth? A mobile army of metaphors, metonyms, and anthropomorphisms – in short, a sum of human relations, which have been enhanced, transposed, and embellished poetically and rhetorically, and which after long use seem firm, canonical, and obligatory to a people: truths are illusions about which one has forgotten that this is what they are; metaphors which are worn out and without sensuous power; coins which have lost their pictures and now matter only as metal, no longer as coins.”
Freidrich Neitzsche

Anne Lamott
“Man is born broken. He lives by mending. The grace of God is glue”
Anne Lamott, Traveling Mercies: Some Thoughts on Faith

Wendy Mass
“I am not plain, or average or - God forbid - vanilla. I am peanut butter rocky road with multicolored sprinkles, hot fudge and a cherry on top.”
Wendy Mass, Every Soul a Star
