"Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet." ~Roger Miller

“The world is not respectable;
it is mortal,
tormented,
confused,
deluded forever;
but it is shot through with beauty,
with love,
with glints of courage and laughter;
and in these,
the spirit blooms timidly,
and struggles to the light amid the thorns.”

~George Santayana

"A hunter of shadows, himself a shade." ~Homer

"I have figured for you the distance between the horns of a dilemma,
night and day,
and A and Z.
I have computed how far is Up,
how long it takes to get Away,
and what becomes of Gone.
I have discovered the length of the sea serpent,
the price of priceless,
and the square of the hippopotamus.
I know where you are when you are at Sixes and Sevens,
how much Is you have to have to make an Are,
and how many birds you can catch with the salt in the ocean - 187,796,132,
if it would interest you."

"In a soulmate we find not company but a completed solitude." ~Robert Brault

"I realized these were all the snapshots
which our children would look at someday
with wonder,
thinking their parents had lived smooth,
well-ordered lives
and got up in the morning to walk proudly on the sidewalks of life,
never dreaming the raggedy madness and riot of our actual lives,
our actual night,
the hell of it,
the senseless emptiness."

~Jack Kerouac

“The mountains are calling and I must go.” ~John Muir

Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love,
the things you are,
the things you never want to lose.

"I used to believe that anything was better than nothing. Now I know that sometimes nothing is better." ~Glenda Jackson

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
~William Shakespeare
