“There is nothing to make you like other human beings so much as doing things for them.”

It was the meanest moment of eternity.

She was too busy feeling grief to dress like grief.

She had waited all her life for something, and it had killed her when it found her.

If you’re silent about your pain, they’ll kill you and say you enjoyed it.

You heard me. You ain’t blind.

I have been in Sorrow’s kitchen and licked out all the pots. Then I have stood on the peaky mountain wrapped in rainbows, with a harp and a sword in my hands.

Tea Cake, the son of the Evening Sun, had to die for loving her.

Truth is a letter from courage!

Some people could look at a mud puddle and see an ocean with ships.

We all believe in someone we cant see.

In this election, you vote for the future living conditions of mankind.

But the act of holding on speaks to me so much more about a human heart than the courage of letting go ever could.
