"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

What Did I Ever Come Here For?


“It wasn't too long before
I showed up at your door
I'd been gone a thousand miles
I didn't know how much more I could stand


If I could stand at all
You said I looked like I'd been through World War II
And my soul was worn right through


I thought you would read my mind
I thought you'd ask me to stay
You'd never turn me away like before


But you closed your door anyway
What did I ever come here for?”
~ Brandi Carlile
