"I lovelovelovelove this PostSecret project. One of the memorable ones in this book still cracks me up (because of the hand-drawn hearts). It's something about priest cassocks but I shan't say more.

Dioscita's favorite quotes
"In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
— Douglas Adams (The Restaurant at the End of the Universe)
— Douglas Adams (The Restaurant at the End of the Universe)
"We women have lived too much with closure: "If he notices me, if I marry him, if I get into college, if I get this work accepted, if I get this job" -- there always seems to loom the possibility of something being over, settled, sweeping clear the way for contentment. This is the delusion of a passive life. When the hope for closure is abandoned, when there is an end to fantasy, adventure for women will begin."
— Carolyn G. Heilbrun (Writing a Woman's Life)
