Hermann Hesse

I went camping one time when I was twelve, to the Great Lakes. My friend stepped in really deep muddy water and started screaming and sinking. My mom ran up, and I was just standing there a foot away and wouldn't stick out a hand to pull him up. So I'm probably not the best person to take on a camping trip.

- Norman Reedus

“I have no right to say or do anything
that diminishes a man in his own eyes.
What matters is not what I think of him
but what he thinks of himself.
Hurting a man in his dignity is a crime.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Even
After
All this time
The sun never says to the earth,

"You owe me."

Look what happens
With love like that
It lights the whole sky....

~Hafiz~

“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.
Delicious Ambiguity.”
~Gilda Radner
