'YOU HAVE TO EARN AFFECTION.'
No, really.
Underlined these in the bathtub last night...from The Witch of Portobello by Paulo Coelho vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
"Don't confuse the teacher with the lesson, the ritual with the ecstasy, the transmitter of the symbol with the symbol itself.
I'm finally coming to accept that i was only a temporary inhabitant, there as a favor, like someone who finds himself in a beautiful mansion, eating exquisite food, aware that this is only a party, that the mansion belongs to someone else, that the food was bought by someone else, and that the time will come when the lights will go out, the owners will go to bed, the servants will return to their quarters, the door will close, and we'll be out in the street again, waiting for a taxi or a bus to restore us to the mediocrity of our everyday lives." ...but god i love to dress up.
