Narayana

“We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be.”
― May Sarton

“Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.”
― Stephen King, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption

“And I guess you judge how well you're doing by how well you sleep at night... and what your dreams are like.”
― Stephen King, Different Seasons

“In spite of the problems he was having he was going on with his life. There are thousands who don’t or won’t or can’t and plenty of them aren’t in prison either.”
― Stephen King, Different Seasons
