But those with shattered souls find it very difficult to speak.

All time is now, and time can do no better. Nothing can ever be more now than now, and before this nothing was.

The long days seduce all thought away, and we lie like the lizards in the sun, postponing our lives indefinitely.

There was a point that I stopped crying. It's not just because I didn't feel pain anymore, not because I didn't feel sorrow. It was just to keep going. I mean, it just was to survive, to live.

It's because I'm only interested in the big things that I'm not interested in politics.

But the human spirit is resilient. God made us so. He gave us the ability to forgive. To leave our past behind. To look forward instead of back.

Always that tyrannical love reaches out. Soft words shrivel me like quicklime. She will not allow me to be cold, hungry. She will insist that I take her own coat, her own food.
