For our love for words.
“But even so, every now and then I would feel a violent stab of loneliness. The very water I drink, the very air I breathe, would feel like long, sharp needles. The pages of a book in my hands would take on the threatening metallic gleam of razor blades. I could hear the roots of loneliness creeping through me when the world was hushed at four o’clock in the morning.”
― Haruki Murakami, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle
From Andrea Gibson’s “I Sing the Body Electric, Especially When my Power’s Out”
I said to the sun, tell me about the big bang.
The sun said, “It hurts to become.”
I am both happy and sad at the same time, and I’m still trying to figure out how that could be.

“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.” - The Lorax, Dr. Seuss
“There is a loneliness that can be rocked. Arms crossed, knees drawn up, holding, holding on, this motion, unlike a ship’s, smooths and contains the rocker. It’s an inside kind—wrapped tight like skin. Then there is the loneliness that roams. No rocking can hold it down. It is alive. On its own. A dry and spreading thing that makes the sound of one’s own feet going seem to come from a far-off place.”
Toni Morrison, Beloved

This book changed my view of the world.
The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.
