And I say to my heart: rave on.

it is a serious thing // just to be alive / on this fresh morning / in this broken world.

Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.

Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?

Instructions for living a life. Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.

One day you finally knew what you had to do, and began.

Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable.

You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.

In this universe we are given two gifts: the ability to love and the ability to question. Which are, at the same time, the fires that warm us and the fires that scorch us.

You must not ever stop being whimsical. And you must not, ever, give anyone else the responsibility for your life.

Life is a narrative that you have a hand in writing.

Whither should we aim if not towards God?

Let us keep our mouths shut and our pens dry until we know the facts.

I'm one of the best actresses. One day I will win an Oscar.

No form of love is wrong, so long as it is love.

Happy people plan actions, they don't plan results.

The kiss....was not meant to seduce, it was meant to mark a woman's soul. Chloe

But I just think as a captain, everybody's different.

I also dreamt about finally meeting the leftist Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek. He is a great role model for me.
