“Brilliantly, ecstatically, irrepressibly. This is the way to burn”
― Tom Robbins, Still Life with Woodpecker

“Life is like a stew, you have to stir it frequently, or all the scum rises to the top.”
― Tom Robbins, Still Life with Woodpecker

“Sometimes the only way to stay sane is to go a little crazy.”
― Susanna Kaysen, Girl, Interrupted

“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and being alone won't either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You have to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes too near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself that you tasted as many as you could.”
― Louise Erdrich, The Painted Drum
