“That was desire messing with physics: putting its finger on the record and then slowing it down, making sure you heard every word spoken, and memorized it.” ― Heather O'Neill, The Lonely Hearts Hotel

“It’s a hard thing to leave any deeply routine life, even if you hate it.” ― John Steinbeck, East of Eden
“It shouldn't be very difficult for anyone to resist the temptation to force himself into the pattern of the structured man. One needs only to remember that a groove may be safe--but that, as one wears away at it, the groove becomes first a rut and finally a grave.”
― J. Paul Getty
“We met our love in the February air
And the lives we had before,
They began to tear”

"They get better.”

“Time is the longest distance between two places.”
― Tennessee Williams, The Glass Menagerie
“If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have the time to do it over?”
― John Wooden
“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
“I was content to shape the quiet into the structures I wanted.” ― S. Jae-Jones, Wintersong

“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
i've finally joined station; i was afraid i wouldn't have anything else to say. i think, instead what i'd like to do to coincide with my cafe is post quotes that i particularly like here. i hope they make you smile, or think, or just pause for a moment. otherwise, i may post things that just seem to fit here that doesn't elsewhere.
thank you for indulging me.
