When a child first catches adults out -- when it first walks into his grave little head that adults do not always have divine intelligence, that their judgments are not always wise, their thinking true, their sentences just -- his world falls into panic desolation. The gods are fallen and all safety gone. And there is one sure thing about the fall of gods: they do not fall a little; they crash and shatter or sink deeply into green muck. It is a tedious job to build them up again; they never quite shine. And the child's world is never quite whole again. It is an aching kind of growing. ↗

The only time I drink milk is when I drink coffee. I make love the same way—contributing 2% as I just sort of lay there.

Perhaps that was the point; life, if you did it right, meant learning and changing. If you didn't, you died- or stopped growing - which amounted to more or less the same thing. So I would slide in and out of different roles until I discovered the one that fit me best. -Deuce, (183) ↗

Whatever belief we have actually stems from the thankfulness that we feel and this feeling further attracts more happy feelings towards us. ↗

Life is a valuable and unique opportunity to discover who you are. But it seems as soon as you near answering that age-old question, something unexpected always happens to alter your course. And who it is you thought you were suddenly changes. Then comes the frustrating realization that no matter how long life endures, no matter how many experiences are muddled through in this existence, you may never really be able to answer the question….. Who am I? Because the answer, like the seasons, constantly, subtly, inevitably changes. And who it is you are today, is not the same person you will be tomorrow. ↗

Failures can be called ‘strengtheners’ as they make you determined to reach your goal with the lessons they teach. ↗

Your dreams will come true, but do not be overly demanding. Be logical – there are not enough mansions for everyone in the world, are there? ↗

In reality there are no limitations. They are vibrant and changeable to whatever form you want them to take to realise your goals. ↗
