Henri J.M. Nouwen
“There are two ways of telling your story. One is to tell it compulsively and urgently, to keep returning to it because you see your present suffering as a result of your past experiences. But there is another way. You can tell your story from the place where it no longer dominates you. You can speak about it with a certain distance and see it as the way to your present freedom. The compulsion to tell your story is gone. From the perspective of the life you now live and the distance you now have, your past does not loom over you. It has lost its weight and can be remembered as God's way of making you more compassionate and understanding toward others.”
Henri J.M. Nouwen, The Inner Voice of Love: A Journey Through Anguish to Freedom

“A throne is nothing but an ostentatious bit of chair that matches nothing and ruins the room”
Catherynne M. Valente+

C.S. Lewis
“I think we delight to praise what we enjoy because the praise not merely expresses but completes the enjoyment; it is its appointed consummation. It is not out of compliment that lovers keep on telling one another how beautiful they are; the delight is incomplete till it is expressed. It is frustrating to have discovered a new author and not be able to tell anyone how good he is; to come suddenly, at the turn of the road, upon some mountain valley of unexpected grandeur and then to have to keep silent because the people with you care for it no more than for a tin can in the ditch; to hear a good joke and find no one to share it with (the perfect hearer dies years ago).”
C.S. Lewis, Reflections on the Psalms

“I love stories about sinuous Spanish dancers. It makes me forget how old and fat I am.”
Agatha Christie ., Miss Marple: The Complete Short Stories

John  Green
“On my first day of training, she told me, "Death is natural. Children dying is natural. None of us actually wants to live in a natural world." Treating disease, whether through herbs or magic or drugs, is unnatural. No other animals do it, at least not with anything approaching our sophistication. Hospitals are unnatural. As are novels, and saxophones. None of us actually wants to live in a natural world.”
John Green, Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection
