"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

Racing In The Street 


Words so haunting
So universal 
Words interchangeable  
With the vagary of existence 

Experiences
 
So long ago
So far away
Where has everything gone
That was and is and is not anymore


"Fundamentally we're repairmen. Everybody's broken. Everybody's broken somewhere. You can't get through life without it. You've paid your artists and your film makers and your poets and your novelists to be basically your handyman or your repairmen. And we're willing to go into the garage, where all the junk is lying around, and we start to tinker away. When you contextualize and make small sense of those things, they start to repair those little pieces of you."
- Bruce Springsteen, HBO Documentary High Hopes
