"I am sincerely regretting the three glasses of iced tea I drank this evening with dinner. I haven't had that much caffeine since I got pregnant and now its almost two in the morning and I'm wide awake with nothing to read. So, ibm lieu of writing a jittery review, I'll just plow ahead to the next on my list. Never again with the iced tea. I think I can feel the baby pinballing off my uterus. Whoops." 14 hours, 34 min ago

Where has this book/author been hiding all my life? Because I'm SERIOUSLY impressed. It's a rare book that makes you want to flip to the beginning IMMEDIATELY after finishing it for a second go-through, but I was tempted with "Asylum." It was that la...more

Maya Angelou
“I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life." I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
Maya Angelou

Sebastian Faulks
“Knowing one was comprised of recycled matter only and that selfhood was a delusion did not take away the aching of the heart.”
Sebastian Faulks, A Possible Life

Paul Auster
“I cannot say who I will be tomorrow. Each day is new, and each day I am born again. I see hope everywhere, even in the dark, and when I die, I will perhaps become God.”
Paul Auster

E.E. Cummings
“(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands”
E.E. Cummings

Sebastian Faulks
“If not just the brain but the quirks that made the individual were composed of recycled matter only, it was hard to be sure where the edges of one such being ended and another person began.”
Sebastian Faulks, A Possible Life
