Prompts for 11/8-11/22
Quotes:
1. "A heart is a fragile thing. That's why we protect them so vigorously, give them away so rarely and why it means so much when we do. Some hearts are more fragile than others. Purer somehow. Like crystal in a world of glass, even the way they shatter is beautiful."
-Everwood
2. "There are no certainties where dreams are concerned. Some are achieved, but just as many sputter and die. When they do, it's tempting to wonder why you ever dreamed at all."
-Everwood
3. "There are days when solitude is a heady wine that intoxicates you with freedom, others when it is a bitter tonic, and still others when it is a poison that makes you beat your head against the wall."
-Colette
4. "Isn't death the boundary we need? Doesn't it give a precious texture to life, a sense of definition? You have to ask yourself whether anything you do in this life would have beauty and meaning without the knowledge you carry of a final line, a border or limit."
-Don DeLillo
5. "There is no magic cure, no making it all go away forever. There are only small steps upward; an easier day, an unexpected laugh, a mirror that doesn't matter anymore. I am thawing."
-Laurie Halse Anderson
6. "When someone breaks your heart, you stop believing and you switch off the lights inside your heart. Someone is home but that someone is lying in the dark, in the room farthest from the gate, and that someone can’t hear anything."
- M.D. Balangue
7. "I twisted you under and under to break you
I just couldn't breathe with your throne on my chest."
-Furnace Room Lullaby
8. "Some things, however, are true no matter how hard you might try to block them out,
and a lie is always a lie, no matter how prettily told. Some doors, once they’re opened,
can never be closed again, just as some trust, once it’s been lost, can never be won back."
-Alice Hoffman
9. "Tell me how all this, and love too, will ruin us. These, our bodies, possessed by light. Tell me we'll never get used to it."
-Richard Siken
10. "Hell is other people."
- Jean-Paul Sartre
