“Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion, it is not the desire to mate every second minute of the day, it is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every cranny of your body. No, don't blush, I am telling you some truths. That is just being "in love", which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.”
Shawn Slovo, Captain Corelli's Mandolin filmscript

Alan W. Watts
“The mystery of life is not a problem to be solved but a reality to be experienced.”
Alan Wilson Watts, Cloud-hidden, Whereabouts Unknown

Jarod Kintz
“When you’re a cartographer, having to make maps sort of comes with the territory.”
Jarod Kintz, A Zebra is the Piano of the Animal Kingdom

Rudyard Kipling
“If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten.”
Rudyard Kipling, The Collected Works of Rudyard Kipling: Captains Courageous - Kim

Wallace Stegner
“It should not be denied... that being footloose has always exhilarated us. It is associated in our minds with escape from history and oppression and law and irksome obligations, with absolute freedom, and the road has always led West.”
Wallace Stegner
