My candle burns at both ends; it will not last the night; but ah, my foes, and oh, my friends - it gives a lovely light!
From Edna St. Vincent Millay
It's not true that life is one damn thing after another; it's one damn thing over and over.
Set the foot down with distrust on the crust of the world - it is thin.
God, I can push the grass apart and lay my finger on Thy heart.
Beauty is whatever gives joy.
Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling in at night. I miss you like hell.
The soul can split the sky in two and let the face of God shine through.
I am glad that I paid so little attention to good advice; had I abided by it I might have been saved from some of my most valuable mistakes.
We are all ruled in what we do by impulses; and these impulses are so organized that our actions in general serve for our self preservation and that of the race.
Please give me some good advice in your next letter. I promise not to follow it.
