Prompts for 7/19-7/25
1. "We used to wonder where war lived, what it was that made it so vile. And now we realize that we know where it lives, that it is inside ourselves."
-Albert Camus
2. "The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along."
-Rumi
3. "I drink to drown my sorrows, but the damned things have learned to swim."
- Frida Kahlo
4. "The knowledge that you have emerged wiser and stronger from setbacks means that you are, ever after, secure in your ability to survive. You will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by adversity."
-J.K. Rowling
5. "No matter how careful you are, there's going to be the sense you missed something, the collapsed feeling under your skin that you didn't experience it all. There's that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should've been paying attention."
-Chuck Palahniuk
6. "I think you're a realist masquerading as a cynic who is secretly an optimist."
-Hitch
7. "Why do people have to be this lonely? What’s the point of it all? Millions of people in this world, all of them yearning, looking to others to satisfy them, yet isolating themselves. Was the earth put here just to nourish human loneliness?"
-Haruki Murakami
8. It's like one thousand paper cuts soaked in vinegar. Like the battles with yourself that leave you insecure. It's all just a numbing charade until the day you finally wake up, and you are not afraid.
-The Spill Canvas
9. "The bad thing about falling to pieces is that it hurts. The good thing about it is that once you're lying there in shards there is nothing left to protect, and so you have no reason not to be honest."
-David James Duncan
10. "Even now, if I saw you only once
I would long for you through worlds,
worlds."
-Izumi Shikibu
