“If a writer falls in love with you, you can never die.”
Mik Everett

Virginia Woolf
“Growing up is losing some illusions, in order to acquire others.”
Virginia Woolf

Jane Hope
“We are preoccupied with the past, which has already happened, and we are pre-occupied about the future, which does not yet exist. We worry about what will happen and we think about various things that make us feel anxious, frustrated, passionate, angry, resentful, afraid. While we are so preoccupied, our awareness of the here-and-now slips by and we hardly notice its passing. We eat without tasting, we look without seeing and live without ever perceiving what is real. Meditation practice is not concerned with perfecting concentration, or getting rid of thoughts, or trying to be peaceful. The practice merely provides a space in which we can relate simply with our body, our breath and the environment. Thoughts simply occur within a larger space. In that simple situation, we bring our attention back again and again from fantasy to the simple reality of being in the present moment.”
Jane Hope, Introducing Buddha: A Graphic Guide

Washington Irving

Washington Irving

Harper Lee
“People in their right minds never take pride in their talents.”
Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird
