When you meet a swordsman, draw your sword. Do not recite poetry to one who is not a poet.

 Lin-Chi

I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear.

Joan Didion

"Life is not a dialectical idea, it is a lived contradiction" - Agnes Varda.

A woman whose mood improves with a book, a poem, a song or a cup of coffee is not defeated by anyone; even life loses with her.

Kahlil Gibran

Girls are not machines that you put kindness coins into until sex falls out.

― Nicole Snow

The older I get, the more I meet people, the more convinced I am that we must only work on ourselves, to grow in grace. The only thing we can do about people is to love them.
