I had the feeling of slipping down
a smooth bottomless pit…
It was the melancholy secret
that reality can arouse desires
but never satisfy them …
– Erich Maria Remarque –
Ph : George Platt Lynes
Dreams are rough copies of the waking soul
yet uncorrected of the higher will,
so that men sometimes in their dreams confess an unsuspected, or forgotten, self;
– since dreaming, madness, passion,
are akin in missing each that salutory rein
of reason, and the grinding will of man.
– Pedro Calderón de la Barca –
The things we see every day are the things we never see at all.
– G.K. Chesterton –
Courage is almost a contradiction in terms.
It means a strong desire to live
taking the form of a readiness to die.
– G.K. Chesterton –
It was the heart of any true moment of decadence: the knowledge that an epoque is already slipping from us, inexorably, even in the moment of its glory.
– Tilar J. Mazzeo –
I was like a thought slipping through the fissures…
– Dean Koontz – Odd Apocalypse

Love breaks my bones
and I laugh
– Charles Bukowski –
Don’t waste your life, Claire
Don’t waste the things that you might do
And I love you …
