if the accident will.
all time is all time. It does not change. It does not lend itself warnings or explanations. It simply is.
so it goes.
all moments past, present, and future, always have existed, always will exist.
That's one thing Earthlings might learn to do, if they tried hard enough: ignore the awful times, and concentrate on the good ones.]
[Alice in Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass:
at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.

Love is sleeping like puzzle pieces.
If a guy seems to need saving, call the Coast Guard.
When you’re not sure whether you’re in love with someone or not, the answer is not.]
[Along For the Ride:
Sometimes, you have to manufacture your own history.]

[GhostGirl/Oscar Wilde:
The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.]

Last night I dreamt, that somebody loved me/no hope no harm/just another false alarm.]

The eyes of others our prisons; their thoughts our cages.]

book quotes III
[Twilight:
If I could dream at all, it would be about you.]
[Anna Karenina:
Whats to be done?
I feel myself better, purer. I feel that I have a heart, and that there is a great deal of good in me.
I tell you simply that ive lost my heart to you.
What right had I to imagine she would care to join her life to mine? Who am I and what am i?
Those joys were so small that they passed unnoticed, like gold in sand, and at bad moments she could see nothing but the pain, nothing but sand; but there were good moments too when she saw nothing but the joy, nothing but gold.
Happiness is the matter with me!
I always loved you, and if one loves any one, one loves the whole person, just as they are and not as one would like them to be…
Every chance meeting cuts her to the heart, every day expecting an answer.
Little hope; but I will do everything possible and impossible.]
[Wuthering Heights:
It is strange people should be so greedy, when they are alone in the world!
Do you see? I’ve marked every day. Yes-very foolish; as if I took notice! And where is the sense of that? To show that I do take notice.
Hes more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.
I cannot express it; but surely you and everybody have a notion that there is or should be an existence of yours beyond you.
If all else perished and he remained, I should still continue to be; and all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger.
Do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you!...I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!
Its wrong to anticipate evil.
It is impossible for a person should die for the love of a stranger.
Be calm and frank, and confess at once all that weighs on your heart.
I dreamt I was sleeping the last sleep by that sleeper, with my heart stopped and my cheek frozen against hers.
I have to remind myself to breathe – almost to remind my heart to beat!
The greatest punishment we could invent for her was to keep her separate from him.
In my soul and in my heart, I’m convinced I’m wrong!
I was only going to say that heaven did not seem to be my home, and I broke my heart with weeping to come back to earth.
Neither am I aware of the means he took to raise his mind from the savage ignorance into which it was sunk.
The return of sunshine was welcomed by answering sunshine from him.
And it ended when circumstances caused each to feel that the one’s interest was not the chief consideration in the other’s thoughts.
Who kept her gaze fixed on him as if she feared he would vanish were she to remove it.
Pray, don’t imagine that he conceals depths of benevolence and affection beneath a stern exterior! He’s not a rough diamond—a pearl-containing oyster of a rustic; he’s a fierce, pitiless, wolfish man.
I’m not your husband; you needn’t be jealous of me!
And if you flatter yourself that I don’t perceive it, you are a fool; and if you think I can be consoled by sweet words, you are an idiot; and if you fancy I’ll
suffer unrevenged, I’ll convince you on the contrary, in a very little while!
Your presence is a moral poison that would contaminate the most virtuous.]

book quotes II
[Frankenstein:
Nothing is so painful to the human mind as a great and sudden change. The sun might shine or the clouds might lower: but nothing could appear to me as it had done the day before.]
[The Scarlet Letter:
Love, whether newly born, or aroused from a deathlike slumber, must always create a sunshine, filling the heart so full of radiance, that it overflows upon the outward world.
It is to the credit of human nature, that, except where its selfishness is brought into play, it loves more readily than it hates.
To the untrue man, the whole universe is false, --it is impalpable,--it shrinks to nothing within his grasp. And he himself, in so far as he shows himself in a false light, becomes a shadow, or, indeed, ceases to exist.
I drew thee into my heart, into its innermost chamber, and sought to warm thee by the warmth which thy presence made there!]
[The Great Gatsby:
Reserving judgments is a matter of infinite hope.
Men made it but they can’t control it.
We could have saved you, but you cut us down, and soon you will be cut down and there’ll be none of us to save you.
How can we live without our lives? How will we know its us without our past?
For the quality of owning freezes you forever into “I,” and cuts you off forever from the “we.”
I hear ‘em an’ feel ‘em; an’ they’re beating their wings like a bird in a attic. Gonna bust their wings on a dusty winda tryin’ ta get out.
No- the stars are close and dear and I have joined the brotherhood of the worlds. And everything’s holy- everything, even me.]

[J Alfred Prufrock:
Do I dare disturb the universe?]
[Edgar Allan Poe:
Neither the angels in heaven above, not the demons down under the sea, can ever dissever my soul from the soul of the beautiful Annabel Lee.]
[Romeo & Juliet:
O, teach me how I should forget to think.]
[The Alchemist:
People fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives everyday that the sunrises.]
[The Catcher in the Rye:
All you knew was, you were happy. You really were.
The only thing that would be different would be you.
Don’t ever tell anybody anything. If you do you start missing everybody.]
[Raisin in the Sun:
There is always something left to love.
All the talk about dreams and sunlight that goes on in this house. Its all dead now.
Never be afraid to sit awhile and think.
We feel-we feel that most of the trouble in this world, when you come right down to it-most of the trouble exists because people just don’t sit down and talk to eachother.]

lyrics III
no one's gonna love you more than I do by Band of Horses
It's looking like a limb torn off
Or altogether just taken apart
We're reeling through an endless fall
We are the ever-living ghost of what once was
But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do
And anything to make you smile
It is my better side of you to admire
But they should never take so long
Just to be over then back to another one
But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do
But someone,
They could have warned you
When things start splitting at the seams and now
The whole thing's tumbling down
Things start splitting at the seams and now
If things start splitting at the seams and now,
It's tumbling down
Hard.
Anything to make you smile
You are the ever-living ghost of what once was
I never want to hear you say
That you'd be better off
Or you liked it that way
But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do

Hospital by Lydia
So I've been sleeping with this silence in my mind
And all I see scares me
And no one knows it, but she, she saved me
So I've been sleeping with this silence in my brain
Awakening here everyday in this god damn place
I won't wait here anymore
It's still not quite the way it was
But you promised me this is love to stay
Watch the hospital that's
Just across the street
From your apartment balcony
I'll never ever leave there
I'll never leave
Oh, no one is watching now
Sing like you just might drown
But always come back here
'Cause I never got to see you once more, no
I guess that's all I wanted
Yeah, I guess that's all I needed
Now look, you've made a fool out of love
When all we want is to be enough
When all we want is to feel enough
It's still not quite the way it was
But you promised me this is love to stay
Watch the hospital that's just across the street
From your apartment balcony
I'll never ever leave there
I'll never leave
Watch the hospital that's just across the street
(It's still not quite the way it was)
From your apartment balcony
(But you promised me this is love to stay)
I'll never ever leave there
I'll stay

because I could not stop for death by emily dickinson
Because I could not stop for Death—
He kindly stopped for me—
The Carriage held but just Ourselves—
And Immortality.
We slowly drove—He knew no haste
And I had put away
My labor and my leisure too,
For His Civility—
We passed the School, where Children strove
At Recess—in the Ring—
We passed the fields of Gazing Grain—
We passed the Setting Sun—
Or rather—He passed Us—
The Dews drew quivering and chill—
For only Gossamer, my Gown—
My Tippet—only Tulle—
We paused before a House that seemed
A Swelling of the Ground—
The Roof was scarcely visible—
The Cornice—in the Ground—
Since then—'tis Centuries—and yet
Feels shorter than the Day
I first surmised the Horses' Heads
Were toward Eternity—
Because I could not stop for Death—
He kindly stopped for me—
The Carriage held but just Ourselves—
And Immortality.
We slowly drove—He knew no haste
And I had put away
My labor and my leisure too,
For His Civility—
We passed the School, where Children strove
At Recess—in the Ring—
We passed the fields of Gazing Grain—
We passed the Setting Sun—
Or rather—He passed Us—
The Dews drew quivering and chill—
For only Gossamer, my Gown—
My Tippet—only Tulle—
We paused before a House that seemed
A Swelling of the Ground—
The Roof was scarcely visible—
The Cornice—in the Ground—
Since then—'tis Centuries—and yet
Feels shorter than the Day
I first surmised the Horses' Heads
Were toward Eternity—
