"Say it, reader. Say the word 'quest' out loud. It is an extraordinary word, isn't it? So small yet so full of wonder, so full of hope."

too easy to rewrite
left as lonely shadows
holding each other tight

There's nothing like a song about lost love
to remind you how everything precious
can slip from the hinges where you've hung it so careful

"When enough material assets have been accumulated by all means and nothing much is left to be done, a rich person is most likely to pen down a book only to make more money out of it."

"Better to write just thoughts which have got wisdom a lot than a whole book that is not even worth referring for its quotes by a sensible reader and yet be regarded as a published author or celebrity."

I didn't know why I was going to cry, but I knew that if anybody spoke to me or looked at me too closely the tears would fly out of my eyes and the sobs would fly out of my throat and I'd cry for a week. I could feel the tears brimming and sloshing in me like water in a glass that is unsteady and too full.
— Sylvia Plath,

She was beautiful,
But not in the beautiful ways you might like to think so
She did not have hair that dripped gold
Her eyes were not the color of the cold sea
Her smile was crooked and bent
Her lips were chapped and thin
She did not have a gentle laugh
Nor did she speak humble thoughts
But she was beautiful
In the way wind dances in hair
And in the way shy lovers hold hands
She was beautiful in the way of
Morning air
And black coffee
And the love poems
That live in each broken heart
Spilling red oil, into blue lungs
Suffocating happiness right out of its shell
And she was beautiful
Because she refused to taste sadness
Even when that was the only thing she had left to eat.

And in that moment
he reminded me of
a bird that had
fallen from its nest.
I started to reach for him,
to comfort him,
But then I remembered
Grandpa Morgan's warnings
that there are some wild things
you are NOT supposed to touch...

Just for future reference, don't use
words like "love" anymore. It's a very sensitive
word and it wears out quickly. Romeo barely says it, but John
Hinckley filled up a whole journal with it. To put it into your
terms, it's a currency that's easily devalued. Pretty
soon you're saying it whenever you hang up the phone or
whenever you leave. It turns into an apology. Then it's an
excuse. Some @ssholes want it to be a bulletproof vest:
don't hate me; I love you. But mostly it just means--more.
More, more--give me something more. A couple of years from now,
when you're on your own completely, if you really fall in
love, if it really comes to that--and I pity you if it
does--you have to look right down into the black of her eyes,
right down into the emptiness in there and feel everything,
absolutely everything she needs and you have to be willing to
drown in it, Kevin. You'd have to want to be crushed,
buried alive. Because that's what real love feels
like--choking. They used to bury some women in their wedding
dresses, you know. I thought it was because all those husbands
were too cheap to spring for another gown, but now it makes
sense: love is your first foot in the grave. That's why the
second most abused word is "forever".
~ Peter Craig

''All your words are to say: you are a woman, and your part is in the house.
But when the men have died in battle and honour, you have leave to be burned in the house, for the men will need it no more.''

''The end will not be long... But I will not end here, taken like an old badger in a trap...
Will you ride with me then...? Maybe we shall cleave a road, or make such an end as will be worth a song...''

I liked hurting girls. Mentally not physically, I never hit a girl in my life.
The thing is, I got off on it. I really enjoyed it. Its like when you hear serial killers say
they feel no regret, no remorse for all the people they killed. I was like that. Loved it.
I didn't care how long it took either because I was in no hurry.
I'd wait until they were totally in love with me. Untill the big saucer eyes were looking up at me.
I loved the shock on their faces. The glaze as they tried to hide how much I was hurting them.
And it was legal.
I think I killed a few of them, their souls I mean.
