"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."
~ Salman Rushdie, The Ground Beneath Her Feet

Thought...

“The sky in a northern Minnesota summer can be compared to the broken soul in so many ways...you may feel cold, cloudy, with a chance of rain, sudden flash floods from above, windy while you let off some steam, lightning and thunder in your most angry of moments...but behind it all...there will always be a blue sky, and the warm smile of the sun just waiting for the emotional storm to finally end...."
