Favorite Quotes

“I want to play and laugh and cry and contemplate. I want to fill my nostrils with the warmth of summer, the musk of rain, the foliage of fall, the flowers of spring.” (Amy Stocking)

In the dark with our hearts
And for all the power you gain in anger
So I gain my own as I forgive
As I gain my own learning to live
(Alithea from fanfiction.net)

“I arise in the morning,
torn between a desire to save the world,
and a desire to savor the world.
That makes it hard to plan the day.”
