thinking i-can
I can't think of anything I'd rather have more than somebody lovin' me.
crush children giving-up
I wished she'd been smart enough, or loving enough, to realize everybody has burdens that crush them, only they don't give up their children.
moments begging feels
I could even feel how perishable all my moments really were, how all my life they had come to me begging to be lived, to be cherished even.
tiny dangerous shattering
She didn't even know how dangerous the truth could be, all the tiny, shattering seeds it carried.
littles steps lost
Where had I been that I didn't know about imaginary friends? I could see the point of it. How a lost part of yourself steps out and remind you who you could be with a little work.
people kind wonder
I watched him, filled with tenderness and ache, wondering what it was that connected us. Was it the wounded places down inside people that sought each other out, that bred a kind of love between them?
hurt writing done
I'll write this all down for you," I said. "I'll put it in a story." I don't know if that's what he wanted to ask me, but it's something everybody wants--for someone to see the hurt done to them and set it down like it matters.
august enough ifs
Actually, you can be bad at something...but if you love doing it, that will be enough. - August Boatwright
thinking skin-color skins
We can't think of changing our skin color. Change the world - that's how we gotta think.
like-you not-afraid dies
When it's time to die, go ahead and die, and when it's time to live, live. Don't sort-of-maybe live, but live like you're going all out, like you're not afraid.
ideas people secret
Most people don't have any idea about all the complicated life going on inside a hive. Bees have a secret life we don't know anything about.
pain heart able
History is not just facts and events. History is also a pain in the heart and we repeat history until we are able to make another's pain in the heart our own.
art men thinking
T. Ray said 'Who do you think you are? Julias Shakespeare?' The man sincerely thought that was Shakespeare's first name, and if you think I should have corrected him, you are ignorant about the art of survival.
regret helping
Regrets don't help anything.
