Pratibha Ray
“When a man loses faith in himself he seeks some different path. He cheats himself till his sorrow has passed to be free from torment”
Pratibha Ray, Yajnaseni: The Story of Draupadi

“Pain. You just have to ride it out, hope it goes away on its on. Hope the wound that caused it heals. There are no solutions, no easy answers. You just breath deep and wait for it subside. Most of the time pain can be managed, but sometimes the pain gets you when you least expect it, hits way below the belt and doesn't let up. Pain. You just have to fight through, because the truth is you can't outrun it... And life always makes more.”
Meredith Grey

“At some point you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out, they fence you in. Life is messy. That's how we're made. So you can waste your life drawing lines... or you can live your life crossing them.”
Meredith Grey

Eleanor H. Porter
“troubles are poor things to hug. They've got too many prickers.”
Eleanor H. Porter, Pollyanna Grows Up

Gaston Bachelard
“our house is our corner of the world. As has often been said, it is our first universe, a real cosmos in every sense of the word. If we look at it intimately, the humblest dwelling has beauty. Authors of books on “the humble home” often mention this feature of the poetics of space. But this mention is much too succinct. Finding little to describe in the humble home, they spend little time there; so they describe it as it actually is, without really experiencing its primitiveness, a primitiveness which belongs to all, rich and poor alike, if they are willing to dream. But our adult life is so dispossessed of the essential benefits, its anthropocosmic ties have become so slack, that we do not feel their first attachment in the universe of the house.”
Gaston Bachelard, The Poetics of Space
