"The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry."
~ Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell To Arms

"Our lives disconnect and reconnect, we move on, and later we may touch one another, again bounce away. This is the felt shape of a human life, neither simply linear nor wholly disjunctive nor endlessly bifurcating, but rather this bouncey sequence of bumping into's and tumblings apart."

The Night...
"Nightfall...pure torment for the broken soul...while the rest of the world sleeps, we stay awake to escape the nightmares and heartache that are sure to come...you will find the broken souls working themselves till they are so tired they sleep with no dreams or sitting at your local bar numbing the pain and pretending everything is fine..."
