Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about.

Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900),


Things won are done; joy's soul lies in the doing.

William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616),


I cannot believe that the inscrutable universe turns on an axis of suffering;
surely the strange beauty of the world must somewhere rest on pure joy!


Louise Bogan


I was thinking about how disjointedly time seemed to flow,
passing in a blur at times,
with single images standing out more clearly than others.
And then, at other times, every second was significant, etched in my mind.

Stephenie Meyer
