Preciso mais do que um protetor com as asas sempre prontas a se estenderem sobre mim. Nunca estive tão segura e ao mesmo tempo nunca me senti tão insegura. Para que eu alcance o inatingível e possa provar aos meus sentidos que amar o sobrenatural é natural, Nate precisa amanhecer um lado para que o outro anoiteça. Eu preciso ver o homem que se eclipsa na sombra do anjo. ↗

And how to stop the rot? How to salvage something from time's passage? How long before the map makers decide to erase this structure completely? Before it becomes a nameless ruin?

Mind and body are in many ways opposite from each other, and mind and body must each act according to its own principles. Nonetheless, while the mind and body are different in disposition, they are complementary opposites that form a single whole. For us to sustain mind and body harmony, and function as whole human beings, we need to discover the actual nature of the mind’s characteristics. ↗

Earthly nature may be parsimonious, but the human mind is prodigal, itself an anomaly that in its wealth of error as well as of insight is exceptional, utterly unique as far as we know, properly an object of wonder. ↗

I popped out of a bamboo, fallen from the sky. Leave no leaf ripped, don't you ruin the nature. It makes me bitter, remembering inhuman past. ↗

Dying is as natural as being born, and all of us have to face it someday. Some sooner than others. It's difficult to understand the meaning of it all. The question isn't, 'Why do we die?' The correct question is, 'Why do we live? ↗
