- Life was mostly made up of things you couldn't control, full of surprises, and they weren't always good. Life wasn't what you made it. You were what life made you.
- Sara Zarr, Sweehearts, 2008
- I think about how there are certain people who come into your life and leave a mark. The ones who are as much a part of you as your own soul. Their place in your heart is tender; a bruise of longing, a pulse of unfinished business. Just hearing their names pushes and pulls at you in a hundred ways, and when you try to define those hundred ways, describe them even to yourself, words are useless. If you had a lifetime to talk, there would still be things left unsaid.
- Sara Zarr, Sweehearts, 2008
- In the end, I decide that the mark we've left on each other is the color and shape of love. That the unfinished business between us. Because love, love is never finished. It circles and circles, the memories out of order and not always complete.
- Sara Zarr, Sweehearts, 2008
- The greatest justice in life is that your vision and looks tend to go simultaneously.
- Kevin Bacon, People, 06-13-2011
- Some cupid kills with arrows, some with traps.
- William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), Much Ado About Nothing, Act III, sc. 1
- We are face to face with our destiny and we must meet it with high and resolute courage. For us is the life of action, of strenuous performance of duty; let us live in the harness, striving mightily; let us rather run the risk of wearing out than rusting out.
- Theodore Roosevelt (1858 - 1919), Address at the opening of the gubernatorial campaign, New York City, October 5, 1898
- Let us develop the resources of our land, call forth our powers, build up its institutions, promote all its great interests, and see whether we also, in our day and generation, may not perform something worthy to be remembered.
- Daniel Webster (1782 - 1852), Address at the laying of the cornerstone of the bunker hill monument
- Give us clear vision that we may know where to stand and what to stand for, because unless we stand for something, we shall fall for anything.
- Peter Marshall, Senate chaplain, prayer offered at the opening of the session, April 18, 1947
- You don’t have to get a job that makes others feel comfortable about what they perceive as your success. You don’t have to explain what you plan to do with your life. You don’t have to justify your education by demonstrating its financial rewards. You don’t have to maintain an impeccable credit score. Anyone who expects you to do any of those things has no sense of history or economics or science or the arts.
You have to pay your own electric bill. You have to be kind. You have to give it all you got. You have to find people who love you truly and love them back with the same truth.
But that’s all. - Sugar, The Rumpus Advice Column #72
- You can't think yourself out of a writing block, you have to write yourself out of a thinking block.
- John Rogers, Kung Fu Monkey, 06-25-11
