“Dear little Bog-Face,
Why are you so cold?
And why do you lie with your eyes shut?--

And Mother, I shall be glad when it is over,
I am Bog-Face.”
― Stevie Smith

“I believe if there's any kind of God it wouldn't be in any of us, not you or me but just this little space in between.

The answer must be in the attempt.”
― Julie Delpy, Before Sunrise & Before Sunset: Two Screenplays

“When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.”
