"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

Thoughts from Lyrics...

Commenting on the song When All Is Said And Done, Anni-Frid Lyngstad wrote, "All my sadness was captured in that song."


"There's no hurry any more when all is said and done,
Standing calmly at the crossroads,no desire to run,
There's no hurry any more when all is said and done..."

- Björn Ulvaeus


"You're dangerous, 'cos you're honest.
You're dangerous, you don't know what you want.
Well you left my heart empty as a vacant lot
For any spirit to haunt..."

-Bono
