Quote of the day

Reality - the way that is, exactly as it is, in every moment - is always kind. It's our story about reality that blurs our vision, obscures what's true, and leads us to believe that there is injustice in the world. I sometimes say that you move totally away from reality when you believe that there is a legitimate reason to suffer.

You're a Nought and I'm a Cross and there's nowhere for us to be, nowhere for us to go where we'd be left in peace. . . That's why I started crying. That's why I couldn't stop. For all the things we might've had and all the things we're never going to have.

Such do not always understand the authors whose names adorn their barren pages, and which are taken, too, from the third or the thirtieth hand.
