"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

Some Poetry and Beauty...

"The girls in their summer clothes
In the cool of the evening light
The girls in their summer clothes, pass me by..." ~ Bruce Springsteen


"Put on your best dress baby,
And darlin', fix your hair up right,
Cause there's a party, honey,
Way down beneath the neon lights,
All day you've been working that hard line,
Now tonight you're gonna have a good time..."
~ Bruce Springsteen



“When the moon rises and women in flowery dresses are strolling,
I am struck by their eyes, eyelashes, and the whole arrangement of
the world. It seems to me that from such a strong mutual attraction the ultimate truth should issue at last.” ~ Czeslaw Milosz

"I am not a human being because I have a vascular system; I am a human being because I have been kissed..." ~ Tyler Blanski



"Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all
 Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know." ~ John Keats
