"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

Fathers and Sons

 


"Fathers and sons...

They held the light

Yes they did

And it shined all night

Oh ~ all night

And they took the blows

Yes they did

Never letting go

Oh no ~ oh no ~ oh no

And so they came with perfect schemes

And precious dreams that made them one

One by one

Oh ~ look up and see the eagles fly

And fill the sky beneath the sun

Fathers and sons..."

~ Neil Diamond


(U2 ~ Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own)
