1 " The future for me is already a thing of the past -
You were my first love and you will be my last "

― Bob Dylan , Bob Dylan - Love and Theft: Piano/Vocal/Guitar

2 " It´s natural to want someone you love to do what you want, or what you think would be good for them, but you have to let everything happen to them. You can't interfere with people you love any more than you're supposed to interfere with people you don't even know. And that's hard, ..., because you often feel like interfering -you want to be the one who makes the plans. "

― John Irving , The Cider House Rules

3 " A hundred years or more, she's bent her crown
in storm, in sun, in moonsplashed midnight breeze.
surviving all the random vagaries
of this harsh world. A dense - twigged veil drifts down
from crown along her trunk - mourning slow wood
that rustles tattered, in a hint of wind
this January dusk, cloudy, purpling
the ground with sudden shadows.
How she broods -
you speculate - on dark surprise and loss,
alone these many years, despondent, bent,
her bolt-cracked mate transformed to splinters, moss.
Though not alone, you feel the sadness of a
twilight breeze. There's never enough love;
the widow nods to you. Her branches moan. "

― Lauren Lipton

4 " Good morning, daddy!
Ain't you heard
The boogie-woogie rumble
Of a dream deferred?

Listen closely:
You'll hear their feet
Beating out and beating out a -

You think
It's a happy beat?

Listen to it closely:
Ain't you heard
something underneath
like a -

What did I say?

Sure,
I'm happy!
Take it away!
Dream Boogie

Hey, pop!
Re-bop!
Mop!

Y-e-a-h! "

― Langston Hughes

5 " Occasionally, there arises a writing situation where you see an alternative to what you are doing, a mad, wild gamble of a way for handling something, which may leave you looking stupid, ridiculous or brilliant -you just don't know which. You can play it safe there, too, and proceed along the route you'd mapped out for yourself. Or you can trust your personal demon who delivered that crazy idea in the first place.
Trust your demon. "

― Roger Zelazny

6 " -What's so funny?" " -Sorry," David said, reddening again. " You just taste so sweet." " -What do you mean, sweet?" He licked his bottom lip one more time." -You taste like honey." " -Honey?" " -Yeah, I thought I was going nuts the day...well, you know, that one day. But it was the same today. Your mouth is really sweet." He paused for a second, then grinned." -Hot like honey-like nectar. That makes more sense." " -Great. Now I'm going to have to explain that to everyone I kiss for the rest of my life unless it's you or another faerie." She'd almost said Tamani's name. Her fingers flew to the ring around her neck.David shrugged." -Then don't kiss anyone except me." " -David..." " -I'm just offering up the obvious solution," he said, hands up in protest. "

7 " The dominant myth of the day seemed to be that anybody could do anything, even go to the moon. You could do whatever you wanted -in the ads and in the articles, ignore your limitations, defy them. If you were an indecisive person, you could become a leader and wear lederhosen. If you were a housewife, you could become a glamour girl with rhinestone sunglasses. Are you slow witted? No worries -you can be an intellectual genius. If you're old, you can be young. Anything was possible. It was almost like a war against the self. "

― Bob Dylan

8 " Prayer is a conversation between two people who love each other -you and the Lord-and you don't have to use fancy or religious words to dialogue with him. "

― Cheri Fuller

9 " As a perfume doth remain In the folds where it hath lain, So the thought of you, remaining Deeply folded in my brain, Will not leave me; all things leave me -You remain. Other thoughts may come and go, Other moments I may know That shall waft me, in their going, As a breath blown to and fro, Fragrant memories; fragrant memories Come and go. Only thoughts of you remain In my heart where they have lain, Perfumed thoughts of you, remaining, A hid sweetness, in my brain. Others leave me; all things leave me -You remain. "

10 " Goodbye, Hari, my love. Remember always--all you did for me.”

-I did nothing for you.”

-You loved me and your love made me--human. "

― Isaac Asimov , Forward the Foundation (Foundation: Prequel #2)

11 " Justice? -You get justice in the next world, in this world you have the law. "

― William Gaddis , A Frolic of His Own

12 " I actually feel quite self-indulgent at the moment, telling you all about me, me, me.
(...)
On the other hand, you're a human -you should understand self obsession. "

― Markus Zusak , The Book Thief

13 " He is quiet and small, he is black
From his ears to the tip of his tail;
He can creep through the tiniest crack
He can walk on the narrowest rail.
He can pick any card from a pack,
He is equally cunning with dice;
He is always deceiving you into believing
That he's only hunting for mice.
He can play any trick with a cork
Or a spoon and a bit of fish-paste;
If you look for a knife or a fork
And you think it is merely misplaced -
You have seen it one moment, and then it is gawn!
But you'll find it next week lying out on the lawn.
And we all say: OH!
Well I never!
Was there ever
A Cat so clever
As Magical Mr. Mistoffelees! "

― T.S. Eliot , Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats

14 " Infatuation -You easily back off.
Love -You silently care, no matter what..!! "

― Akansh Malik

15 " A conversation between Adso and William -You understand, Adso, I must believe that my proposition works, because I learned it by experience; but to believe it I must assume there are universal laws. Yet I cannot speak of them, because the very concept that universal laws and an established order exist would imply that God is their prisoner, whereas God is something absolutely free, so that if He wanted, with a single act of His will He could make the world different." " And so, if I understand you correctly, you act, and you know why you act, but you don't know know why you know that you know what you do?" I must say with pride that William gave me a look of admiration. " Perhaps that's it. In any case, this tells you why I feel so uncertain of my truth, even if I believe in it. "
