Jeanette Winterson
“Tell me a story, Pew.

What kind of story, child?
A story with a happy ending.
There’s no such thing in all the world.
As a happy ending?
As an ending.”
Jeanette Winterson, Lighthousekeeping

Pablo Neruda
“De pronto no puedo decirte
lo que yo te debo decir,
hombre,perdóname; sabrás
que aunque no escuches mis palabras
no me eché a llorar ni a dormir
y que contigo estoy sin verte
desde hace tiempo y hasta el fin.

I can't just suddenly tell you
what I should be telling you,
friend, forgive me; you know
that although you don't hear my words,
I wasn't asleep or in tears,
that I am with you without seeing you
for a good long time and until the end.”
Pablo Neruda

Alberto Villoldo
“There are two kinds of people in the world: those who are dreamers and those who are being dreamed.”
Alberto Villoldo, Dance of the Four Winds: Secrets of the Inca Medicine Wheel

W.H. Auden
“If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.”
W.H. Auden

Edward Abbey
“One mile farther and I come to a second grave beside the road, nameless like the other, marked only with the dull blue-black stones of the badlands. I do not pause this time. The more often you stop the more difficult it is to continue. Stop too long and they cover you with rocks.”
Edward Abbey, Beyond the Wall: Essays from the Outside
