“I feel like a man on safari, confronted with the Jungle’s deadliest predator. I watch him, but he is watching me. And for everything I manage to learn about him, he learns much more about me. We study each other, and he already knows what makes me tick, while I can only guess with him. Worse, he knows how to make my ticking stop.”
Apprentice by Ardath Rekha, p124

Forgetting bad behavior can make us vulnerable. If a dog bites us, we’ll be wary of that dog in the future. That doesn’t mean the dog will definitely bite us again, but expecting that it won’t isn’t logical.

“You will never be able to ‘fix’ anyone. Everyone has their own path to follow and to become a whole and healthy person, everyone needs to walk that path on their own, making their own mistakes, learning to pick themselves up, and discovering how to love themselves.”

“…touching her heart is like bathing in ice.” “I imagine. I imagine it feels like bathing in ice to the person touching her. But how does it feel to her? Cold as she is, it must surely burn like fire.” -Orson Scott Card, Speaker for the Dead

“Honey, you’re a weirdo. Fine. Own it. Be the best weirdo you can be. Now, you have spent the last month worrying so much about what other people think about you – how about tonight you just worry about what you think about you.”

“I am in fact a Hobbit (in all but size). I like gardens, trees, and unmechanized farmlands; I smoke a pipe, and like good plain food (unrefrigerated), but detest French cooking; I like, and even dare to wear in these dull days, ornamental waistcoats. I am fond of mushrooms (out of a field); have a very simple sense of humour (which even my appreciative critics find tiresome); I go to bed late and get up late (when possible). I do not travel much.”
Tolkien

“Readers usually grossly underestimate their own importance. If a reader can not create a book along with the writer, the book will never come to life. Create involvement: that’s the difference between reading a book and watching tv. In watching tv we are passive sponges; we do nothing. In reading, we must become creators, imagining the setting of the story, seeing the facial expressions, hearing the inflections of the voices. The author and the reader “know” each other; they meet on the bridge of words.” Madeline L’Engle.

“Darling, let me tell you something. Whatever work you do, you have absolutely got to own it. Otherwise, it owns you. So why don’t we be with the task at hand and leave the future chores to future you? Present you wants to smooth out the rug in the bedroom, believe it or not.” – Coda, the Beginner’s Guide (https://youtu.be/OPP9pdApRQE?t=46m4s)

“In the beginning the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.”

“Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was Oh no, not again. Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the Universe than we do now.”

“Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.”

“I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

“The useless days will add up to something. The shitty waitressing jobs. The hours writing in your journal. The long meandering walks. The hours reading poetry and story collections and novels and dead people’s diaries and wondering about sex and God and whether you should shave under your arms or not. These things are your becoming.”
― Cheryl Strayed, Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar

“You can’t live your life for other people. You’ve got to do what’s right for you, even if it hurts some people you love.”
