---

Books. Cats. Life is good.

---

Footfalls echo in the memory, down the passage we did not take, towards the door we never opened, into the rose garden.

---

If you haven’t the strength to impose your own terms upon life, then you must accept the terms it offers you.

---

Sometimes things become possible if we want them bad enough.

---

For I have known them all already, known them all Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons, I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.

---

You are the music while the music lasts.

---

I said to my soul, be still and wait without hope, for hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love, for love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith, but the faith and the love are all in the waiting. Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought: So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.

---

Whatever you think, be sure it is what you think; whatever you want, be sure that is what you want; whatever you feel, be sure that is what you feel.

---

I will show you fear in a handful of dust.
