And to matter is to become light. And to become light is to be loved. And to be loved is to burn. And to burn is to exist. Off and on.

Lynn JohnstonI will write in words of fire. I will write them on your skin. I will write about desire. Write beginnings, write of sin.

Youโre my letter to desire: And youโll never read yourself. I will trace each word and comma As the final dusk descends, Youโre my tale of dreams and drama, Let us find out how it ends.

I didn't understand that until I was so burnt out that I wanted to make scrap material out of my single and my oars.

In the process they burn fuel like there's no tomorrow. Tomorrow's coming.

As conquered by the last cold air When Winter whistles in the wind Alone upon a branch that's bare A trembling leaf is left behind.

Jean de JoinvilleAnd still the brain continues to yearn, continues to burn, foolishly, with desire.

Meg RosoffOur earth is round, and, among other things, that means that you and I can hold completely different points of view and both be right. The difference of our positions will show stars in your window I cannot even imagine. Your sky may burn with light, while mine, at the same moment, spreads beautiful to darkness. Still we must choose how we separately corner the circling universe of our experience. Once chosen, our cornering will determine the message of any star and darkness we encounter.
