Whenever I see my mom watching her food cook in the oven, I sit next to her and look in. You can't kill yourself in modern ovens. Well, I'm sure you could. You could kill yourself with anything if you tried hard enough. When we sit there, though, I feel like we are moths drawn to the memory of what an oven can do to sad women.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.
— Henry David Thoreau
Too much contentment is apt to make you think you can have more. And worse, make you wonder: when will it be taken away?
It had been so long since she had remembered all this, so long since she'd even thought of it, for there had been a great forgetting when she left home--a purposeful forgetting, because to forget her childhood meant she had survived it.
So it’s true, when all is said and done, grief is the price we pay for love.
— E.A. Bucchianeri
I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.
— Marilyn Monroe
The people with the money and the people with the vision aren’t the same people.
Several times in his life he had felt an intense desire to start over, to somehow turn back the clock of his life to a point where he might, if he were careful, avoid the many mistakes he had made the first time around.
— Larry McMurtry, Comanche Moon
This is what it will be, every day, without him. I felt a wild-eyed tightness in my chest, like a scream. Every day, without him.
— Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles
Nothing is more repugnant, nothing less edifying than such squabbles; people after all are brothers, in spite of all denominational differences.
— King Ludwig II of Bavaria
Many people need desperately to receive this message: 'I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.'

If you're sad, add more lipstick and attack.

Grief ... gives life a permanently provisional feeling. It doesn't seem worth starting anything. I can't settle down. I yawn, I fidget, I smoke too much. Up till this I always had too little time. Now there is nothing but time. Almost pure time, empty successiveness.
— C.S. Lewis
The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.
— Sylvia Plath
Whoever said that loss gets easier with time was a liar. Here's what really happens: The spaces between the times you miss them grow longer. Then, when you do remember to miss them again, it's still with a stabbing pain to the heart. And you have guilt. Guilt because it's been too long since you missed them last.
— Kristin O’Donnell Tubb, The 13th Sign
People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.

— Sigrid Nunez, What Are You Going Through
Every morning, I wake up and forget just for a second that it happened. But once my eyes open, it buries me like a landslide of sharp, sad rocks. Once my eyes open, I'm heavy, like there's to much gravity on my heart.
— Sarah Ockler, Twenty Boy Summer
'I tell my piano the things I used to tell you.'
— Frederic Chopin
As long as I can I will look at this world for both of us. As long as I can I will laugh with the birds, I will sing with the flowers, I will pray to the stars, for both of us.
— Sascha
So I am about to be a free man again, to wander where I please. I find the prospect nauseating.
Grief fills the room up of my absent child. Lies in his bed, walks up and down with me. Puts on his pretty looks, repeats his words. Remembers me of all his gracious parts. Stuffs out his vacant garments with his form. Then, have I reason to be fond of grief.
— Shakespeare
“Because one day you will die, I promise, and mortality does not care if you believe in it.”
Her mouth smiled, smiled hard, but her eyes did not smile, ever. Her eyes watched and looked for something they knew they’d never find.
— Mary Gaitskill, The Mare
You know, at one time, I used to break into pet shops to liberate the canaries. But I decided that was an idea way before its time. Zoos are full, prisons are overflowing... oh my, how the world still dearly loves a cage.
— , Harold & Maude
One must practice slowly, then more slowly, and finally slowly.
But we remembered, you and I. It saddened me. Who would speak of these things when we were gone? So, too, must the makers of those distant fires have asked themselves as they fought the fading of their world. I began to wish that I could pour our memories into the water we carried, so that anyone drinking might see how it had been.
