  3. "Stories aren't about order and organization. They're about feelings. And feelings don't always make sense. See, stories are like...water. Like rain. We can hold them tight, but they always slip through our fingers. ...That can be scary. But remember that water gives us life. It connects continents. It connects people. And in quiet moments, when the water's still, sometimes we can see our own reflection."

  4. “Having many cats is good. If you feel bad, you look at the cats and you feel better, because they know that everything is just the way it is. You don't have to be nervous about anything. And they know it. They are saviors. The more cats you have, the longer you will live. If you have a hundred cats, you will live ten times longer than if you have ten. One day, this will be known and people will have thousands of cats."
    Charles Bukowski

    I'm reading ORIGIN by Dan Brown. I'm not a huge fan of his writing, but I do love this quote:

    "We are now perched on a strange cusp of history, a time when the world feels like it's been turned upside down, and nothing is quite as we imagined. But uncertainty is always a precursor to sweeping change; transformation is always preceded by upheaval and fear. I urge you...

  8. "The Real is accessed by language. The point of language is to keep language as an endlessly revisable process. Words don't have meanings -- they have histories, and they have futures, and they have memories."

  9. "Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement."

    --JRR Tolkien

    Evergreen reminder that none of us gets to choose who "deserves" it.

  11. "People call me naive and idealistic for believing in compassion, but I think what's naive and idealistic is believing that violence can ever stop violence. I think what's not even idealistic is believing that if we respond with the same frequency as those aggressing us, that will somehow transform or interrupt the circuitry of violence. I don't think that's how it works."

  12. "I respond to hate with love not because I want to be the bigger person, but because I want to win."

  13. "If a person *wants* to understand what you're saying, it doesn't matter how you say it. If a person *doesn't* want to understand what you're saying, it doesn't matter how you say it."
