I wish...


I surrender. .. Ghost light was better than total darkness ... foolish hopes were better than voidness and silence ... Live the moment ... But how much is the moment in the dark desert worth, under empty pitiless skies, where even the stars can't be seen...
“I hope that real love and truth are stronger in the end than any evil or misfortune in the world.”
― Charles Dickens, David Copperfield

"Pride is spiritual cancer: it eats up the very possibility of love, contentment, or even common sense."

"Splinters in the heart, invisibly and erratically painful: this is how Fern has thought of her accumulating sorrows.... But perhaps they are more like the seeds inside a brightly patterned gourd, beyond germination but essential to the wholeness of the gourd itself."

-- Julia Glass, Three Junes
