My experience of life is that it is not divided up into genres; it’s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel. You know, with a bit of pornography if you’re lucky.

The horror you face today will become the funny story you tell tomorrow.
In the end, everything is overcome and a life is lived.

November
In November’s
gusty gale,
I will flop
my flippy tail
and spout hot soup.
I’ll be a whale!
Spouting once,
Spouting twice,
Spouting Chicken Soup
with Rice.
~ Maurice Sendak
In one aspect, yes, I believe in ghosts, but we create them. We haunt ourselves.
Laurie Halse Anderson
Goodreads quote of the day
Whatever you’re meant to do, do it now. The conditions are always impossible.
There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.
(via Vintage Suitcases Repurposed as Uniquely Awesome Drawers - My Modern Metropolis)
Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.
Too many of us are hung up on what we don’t have, can’t have, or won’t ever have. We spend too much energy being down, when we could use that same energy – if not less of it – doing, or at least trying to do, some of the things we really want to do.
Terry McMillan

I love this!
If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there.
It never gets easier, missing you. And sometimes I wonder if it ever will.

You’re going to come across people in your life who will say all the right words at all the right times. But in the end, it’s always their actions you should judge them by. It’s actions, not words, that matter.

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
