“Mornings are endless, a sea of broken clocks. Everyone I love is lost to me. I haven't a clue whether half of them are dead or alive and its maddening, not knowing if their names are being called from across a crowded nightclub or etched in unrelenting stone.”
Lyndsay Faye, The Paragon Hotel

Simon Sinek
“Passion alone can't cut it. For passion to survive it needs structure. A why without how has little probability of success.”
Simon Sinek, Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action

“Maybe we don’t really grow up until our parents die, she thought. Maybe her infant memory was forever looking to Zod and Pari to make things better because they always did. Because if our parents didn’t exalt us, we spend our adult lives blaming them—for not doing this, and not doing that, not being “supportive,” not making an appearance at our first recital, being overprotective or aloof, damaging our self-esteem. Yet at our best or worst, who sees everything? Who knows us best? Who waits and waits to see what we yet may be? Then one day they’re gone and it’s just you, and there’s nothing left to squeeze, no one to blame for the dismay over the course your life has taken. Once the tears have stopped, it’s just the here and now and the desire to do better, to be closer to the person you want to be. Noor”
Donia Bijan, The Last Days of Café Leila

Janet Fitch
“So much for those gleanings from novels, from paintings, as if love were a matter of posing in picturesque dishabille. No. You went into it as a tiger encountering another tiger. You went into it like a person jumping off a bridge.”
Janet Fitch, The Revolution of Marina M.

Janet Fitch
“You talk to the night
I was her first, you say.
And you'll say
You knew me once
When my dress was made of autumn leaves
And my hair a smoldering fire
As you smoke your cigar
Sip whisky with its peaty smoke.
Memory fades, but never that.
A kiss among furs,
Another kind of fire.”
Janet Fitch, The Revolution of Marina M.
