I have seen very few people. Nessa came again. How painful these meetings are! Let me try to analyse. Perhaps it is that we both feel that we can exist independently of the other. The door shuts between us, and life flows on again and completely removes the trace. That is an absurd exaggeration.

Let a man get up and say, Behold, this is the truth, and instantly I perceive a sandy cat filching a piece of fish in the background. Look, you have forgotten the cat, I say.

Virginia Woolf

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

Mahatma Gandhi

When people complain of life, it is almost always because they have asked impossible things of it.

Ernest Renan

We only have now! Everything else is either imagination or memory.

Steve Maraboli

How very little can be done under the spirit of fear.

Florence Nightingale

Students never think it can be the teacher's fault and so I thought I was stupid. I was frustrated and would come home and cry because I couldn't do it. Then we got a new teacher who made math accessible. That made all the difference and I learned that it's how you present it that makes it scary or friendly.

Danica McKellar

The sinning is the best part of repentance.

Arabic Proverb

Sometimes poetry is inspired by the conversation entered into by reading other poems.

John Barton

People leave imprints on our lives, shaping who we become in much the same way that a symbol is pressed into the page of a book to tell you who it comes from. Dogs, however, leave paw prints on our lives and our souls, which are as unique as fingerprints in every way.

Ashly Lorenzana

I'm liking that I can throw any kind of sentence at her without worrying it's too out there.

Rachel Cohn

Success is the space one occupies in the newspaper. Success is one day's insolence.

Elias Canetti

Were it good, To set the exact wealth of all our states All at one cast? To set so rich a main On the nice hazard of one doubtful hour? It were not good

William Shakespeare
