"honestly i’m dropping this one. not because it’s bad but for the same reason i still haven’t finished the first season of the handmaid’s tale: because i’m just sick to death of dystopian fiction. it’s suffocating. i’m still getting over future home of the living god’s downer ending, and i want to live by mama ursula’s ideas of reading, writing and promoting more hopeful futures." — Jan 29, 2018 09:49AM

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

― The Fellowship of the Ring

“We are travelers on a cosmic journey,stardust,swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share.This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity.”

“The less you eat, drink and read books; the less you go to the theatre, the dance hall, the public house; the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you save-the greater becomes your treasure which neither moths nor dust will devour-your capital. The less you are, the more you have; the less you express your own life, the greater is your alienated life-the greater is the store of your estranged being.”

“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth.”
