“You want to grab the past and tear it from your body even if it takes your organs with it.”
“Every untitled chapter of your life; days you spend just washing the dishes, ironing your clothes, going to the grocery store, studying for exams; days that sucks the magic out of your soul, that makes you feel not human are the days that are preparing you for a next level in life, a new part of your story. The feeling of excitement will flow through your soul once again as you understand why you had to go through that chapter to be in that beautiful place that you will soon be in. Just wait for it. It will be worth it.”— Juansen Dizon, Be Patient
“The struggle to emerge out of the past, clean of memories; the inadequacy of our hearts to cut life into separate and final portions; the hunger for frontiers against which we might lean as upon closed doors before we proceed forward; the struggle against diffusion, new beginnings, against finality in acts without finality or end, in our cursedly repercussive being…”— Anaïs Nin, from “The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 1 (1931-1934)″
“It’s funny, but I like being “pink and helpless” – When I know I seem that way, I feel terribly competent – and superior. I keep thinking, “Now those men think I’m purely decorative, and they’re just fools for not knowing better” – and I love being rather unfathomable.”— Zelda Fitzgerald, from a letter to Francis Scott Fitzgerald, May 1919.
