"What do I do?
What do I do?
This library book is 42
Years overdue.
I admit that it's mine
But I can't pay the fine --
Should I turn it in
Or hide it again?
What do I do?
What do I do?"
- Shel Silverstein, "Overdues"

"The adventure is over. Everything gets over, and nothing is ever enough. Except the part you carry with you. It's the same as going on a vacation. Some people spend all their time on a vacation taking pictures so that when they get home they can show their friends evidence that they had a good time. They don't pause to let the vacation enter inside of them and take that home."
- E.L. Konigsburg, From The Mixed Up Files Of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler

Glad at heart of everything,

Quote of the Day

"It seems impossible that a deep connection with another person could just go away instead of changing form. It seems impossible that you will one day look up and say the words 'I used to date someone who lived in that building,' referring to a three-year relationship. As simple as if it was a pizza place that is now a dry cleaner's. It happens. Keep walking."
- Sloane Crosley, How Did You Get This Number
