Some of my favourite quotes - cos they make me happy and they give a little glimpse into the inner workings of moi::
"I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me, but its hard to stay mad, when theres so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like Im seeing it all at once, and its just too much, my heart fills up like a balloon thats about to burst. And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I cant feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life."
-Alan Ball from American Beauty
"As far as Im concerned , I am just whoever you think I am" - Luigi Pirandello
"Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better." -Samuel Beckett
"I would love to spend all my time writing to you; Id love to share with you all that goes through my mind, all that weighs on my heart, all that gives air to my soul; phantoms of art, dreams that would be so beautiful if they could come true." - Luigi Pirandello
"We fight then to discover, to experience the truth about ourselves; to tear away the masks behind which we hide daily." - Jerzy Grotowski
"When youre young, you always feel that life hasnt yet begun - that life is always scheduled to begin next week, next month, next year, after the holidays - whenever. But then suddenly youre old and the scheduled life didnt arrive. You find yourself asking, Well then, exactly what was it I was having - that interlude - the scambly madness - all that time I had before?" -Douglas Coupland
"Insanity is knowing that what youre doing is completely idiotic, but still, somehow, you just cant stop it." -Elizabeth Wurtzel
"...I felt sad because I realized that once people are broken in certain ways, they cant ever be fixed, and this is something nobody ever tells you when you are
young, and it never fails to surprise you as you grow older, as you see the people in your life break one by one. You wonder when your turn is going to be, or if its already happened." -Douglas Coupland
"People think I do drugs because I am self destructive. But if anything, I am averting suicide. I dont like my life much, but for some dumb reason, I want to be alive, because sooner or later, I figure it will work out. I should and could be in New York, taking steps towards making it work, but Ive been trying that for years , and its
no longer feasible. I cant do it anymore. I give up. I surrender. The only thing helping me from killing myself is drugs - and the fact that I can still run away." -
