let's unwrite these pages

things people have said.

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
ee cummings

A neat and orderly living space is the sign of a dangerously sick mind.
mercedes lackey

The great lie of depression is that sadness is profound. That there's a higher truth to misery than joy. Once you've been depressed, happiness always feels superficial; a bright cling-film over all the dark and terrible things still lurking, still waiting to catch you in their jaws.

This is bullshit.
mary borsellino

I thought that a man can be an enemy of other men, of the differing moments of other men, but not of a country: not of fireflies, words, gardens, streams of water, sunsets.
jorge luis borge

Speak up, destiny, speak up! Destiny always seems decades away, but suddenly it's not decades away; it's right now. But maybe destiny is always right now, right here, right this very instant, maybe.
walter m. miller, jr.

Go to the edge of the cliff and jump off. Build your wings on the way down.
ray bradbury

It is better, I think, to grab at the stars than to sit flustered because you know you cannot reach them...At least he who reaches will get a good stretch, a good view, and perhaps even a low-hanging apple for his efforts.
r. a. salvatore

For each of us comes a time when we must be more than what we are.
lloyd alexander

I don't think having a My Chemical Romance action figure will make a kid start his own band; I like to think it will make him save children from a burning building.
gerard way

'If you see Amanda Palmer on the street, kill her', said the graffiti under the bridge in Boston. And beneath that someone else wrote, 'That way, she'll live forever'.
neil gaiman

When I was alive, I believed - as you do - that time was at least as real and solid as myself, and probably more so. I said "one o'clock" as though I could see it, and "Monday" as if I could find it on the map. Like everyone else I lived in a house bricked up with seconds and minutes and New Year's Days, and I never went outside because there was no other door. Now I know that I could have walked through the walls.
peter beagle

Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new.
ursula k le guin

Memory will rust and erode into lists of all that you gave me:
a blanket, some matches, this pain in my chest,
the best parts of Lonely, duct-tape and soldered wires,
new words for old desires,
and every birthday card I threw away.
the weakerthans

We often settle for sex when we want love. And we often want love when we need something else, like a good job or a chance to go back to school.
marge piercy

I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing.
neil gaiman

If you like to write then you write the best way you know how about everything. Some of it is good and some of it is bad. But all of it is what you want to do with your life.
marcello mastroianni

You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.
ray bradbury

do you hear the jet plane yawning miles across the sky? do you hear the garbage truck back down the boulevard, setting off the car alarms as it passes by? do you hear the static of one thousand detuned radios? shut the window, love. keep the world outside. I don't want to think about anyone...

War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it. Its glory is all moonshine. Only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded cry aloud for blood, vengeance, and desolation. War is as close to hell as a merciful God allows upon this earth.
harry turtledove

Entropy, the second law of thermodynamics: the more you keep putting things together, the more they keep falling apart, and I never heard a truer word said.
doctor who

Looking at these stars suddenly dwarfed my own troubles and all the gravities of terrestrial life. I thought of their unfathomable distance, and the slow inevitable drift of their movements out of the unknown past into the unknown future.
