half of learning how to play/ is learning what not to play/ and she's learning the spaces she leaves/ have their own things to say/ and she's trying to sing just enough/ so that the air around her moves/ and make music like mercy/ that gives what it is/ and has nothing to prove.
-Ani DiFranco


I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life.
-F. Scott Fitzgerald


When in the morning I looked upon the light, I felt in a moment that I was no stranger in this world.
-Sir Rabindranath Tagore


She is vulnerable for the same reason she is strong. Anything she puts her love in--she will trust. She will wait you out--she will put up with you--forever--if she loves you.
-John Irving
