“Well, I believe we’re all one. Same consciousness of awareness or whatever you want to call it. The universe is expanding now but soon — in a few more billion years — we’ll start shrinking back again to what we were before the Big Bang. We’ll get smaller and smaller and then for a moment we’ll be a tiny speck. After that they say we’ll be nothing — we won’t exist inside a black hole. Then there’ll be another bang and we’ll return....” “I have loved you all my life,” I whisper. “See you after the next bang.” ~ Lily King, Heart the Lover

She didn’t want Lee Turner to kiss her, or marry her, or fall in love with her. She wanted him to sit beside her on this porch and watch the stars with her for as long as she was still alive. She wanted to exist beside him, to be real and whole in someone else’s eyes, to bare her soul to someone and have them stay beside her anyway. ~ Kylie Lee Baker, Japanese Gothic

“Shove that shit down. So deep down it’s out of sight. Don’t spend another moment on it. Make it go from a reality to a memory to a feeling you sometimes get on winter days. Then let that feeling drive you to do somethin’ great.” ~ Madeline Cash, Lost Lambs

This happens all the time. People always think the third margarita is a good idea, and they’re always wrong. ~ Elin Hildebrand, The Five-Star Weekend

I told her I had not unpacked my swim trunks, as I had just arrived. “Oh, go without,” she said, waving away my worries. “It’s more satisfying to swim in the nude. Are you concerned about this old lady seeing something? Don’t concern yourself. I am completely blind!” She stepped close to a painting and, with a delicate pinch of her forefinger and thumb, removed a single hair. A brisk smile at me. She was not blind in the least. ~ Andrew Sean Greer, Villa Coco

Quote of the Day

Image
“And it sneaks up on me – this sensation. A sensation of deepest comfort. Here we are, doing small things, nothing really, just talking, watching television. And yet in the nothingness there is a life more real than any wedding or christening or birthday party. In these tiny moments, when the spectacle is stripped away, when there is no reason for the day, what’s left appears to be something true, something fundamental to being a person.” ~ Ben Reeves, Everything was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt

It strikes me that, with all the cruelties in this world, there is still nothing quite as dangerous as kindness. ~ Sally Hepworth, Mad Mabel
