Susan Elizabeth PhillipsI'm not falling anymore. That's what L says, and she's right. I guess you could say I'm flying. We both are.

Don't waste your time with either-with anything. It's not worth it.

Raoul DufyA sombrero fell out of the sky and landed on the main street of town in front of the mayor, his cousin, and a person out of work. The day was scrubbed clean by the desert air.

And the little meadow violet lifts its cup of blue, and whispers with its perfumed breath, 'Thou art my sun.'

So God sits effulgent in heaven, not for a favored few, but for the universe of life; and there is no creature so poor or so low that he may not look up with childish confidence and say, 'My Father, Thou art mine.

William Rounseville AlgerI learned that just beneath the surface there's another world, and still different worlds as you dig deeper. I knew it as a kid, but I couldn't find the proof. It was just a kind of feeling. There is goodness in blue skies and flowers, but another force - a wild pain and decay - also accompanies everything.
David Lynch
