“I am the shore and the ocean, awaiting myself on both sides.” ― Dejan Stojanovic

 “‎I have always 

been fascinated 

by the ocean.

To dip a 

limb 

beneath its surface 

and know 

that I'm touching 

eternity, 

that it goes on 

forever 

until it begins 

here 

again.” 

 ~Lauren DeStefano

“The moon is friend for the lonesome to talk to.” ~ Carl Sandburg

“The sky grew darker, 

painted 

blue on blue, 

one stroke at a time, 

into deeper 

and deeper 

shades 

of night.”

~Haruki Murakami

“Some nights are made for torture, or reflection, or the savoring of loneliness.”~Poppy Z. Brite

 

 “the redness 

had seeped from the day 

and night 

was arranging herself 

 around us. 

Cooling things down, 

staining 

and dyeing the evening 

purple 

and 

blue black.” 

~The Secret Life of Bees

with its 

breath."

"Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes, but I'll work it out..." ~Dave Matthews

 "What a commentary on civilization, 

when being 

alone 

is being suspect; 

when one has to 

apologize for it, 

make excuses, 

hide the fact 

that one practices it - 

like a secret 

vice." 

~Anne Morrow Lindbergh

"Let a joy keep you. Reach out your hands and take it when it runs by." ~Carl Sandburg

"Three grand essentials to happiness 

in this life 

are 

something to 

do, 

something to

 love,

 and something 

to hope 

 for." 

~Joseph Addison
