They decided to establish a museum of modern art where works by contemporary artists would be shown. Mother was viewed as a very progressive person, and not everybody liked the paintings she bought. ↗

For, or so they whispered, she would take the camp-stool and draw it up close below the face of the man or woman that hung down over the edge of the interrogation table. Then she would squat down on the stool and and look into the face and quietly say 'No. 1' or 'No. 10' or 'No. 25' and the inquisitors would know what she meant and they would begin. And she would watch the eyes in the face a few inches away from hers and breathe in the screams as if they were perfume. ↗

do you know why it hurts so much? It hurts because I fell into what I was running away from. It hurts because you taught me to fight for what I deserved only to find that it's you I have to fight for! You made me believe I deserved the best, to be loved, cared, and cherished.You said it's best if it was YOU but why do you let me feel like an option, like the rest of the gang not even at least your best friend. Why do you take me for granted, why do you not run out of excuses, why is it easy for you to leave and ignore me? You made me strong, you made believe in myself only to be challenged by You!...Yes, it hurts so much to be hurt by You! ↗

You don't love me "Johnny", you don't even care for me. You're selfish and egoistic! I may not be the best but I give my all in loving you. You always treat me less, you even treat me like your rest. I'm not happy of what's going on but I won't be happy either if I'll go. I feel like I'm walking on a wire, always cautious, always conscious and sometimes nervous! I can't be who I am, I can't do what I do. I can't say what I feel! This isn't fair, this isn't right. But what is fair and what is not if feeling this hurt brings me close to you! ↗

Just because people have the choice to do bad things doesn’t mean that He can’t use it for better and for good. I don’t want bad things to happen to people on earth, I don’t think that’s great but… The things that happened in my life I wouldn’t have chosen for myself but if that hadn’t happened to me I wouldn’t have one song for anybody to relate to it, it wouldn’t help anyone. ↗

Even the jerks earn some of our affection. We can be glad they're gone and yet still mourn the good parts. ↗

A false love, begins with the eye and soon spills from the eye in pain. Where a true love, begins with the eye, and settles in the heart. ↗

Perhaps love is a minor madness. And as with madness, it's unendurable alone. The one person who can relieve us is of course the sole person we cannot go to: the one we love. So instead we seek out allies, even among strangers and wives, fellow patients who, if they can't touch the edge of our particular sorrow, have felt something that cuts nearly as deep. ↗

Sometimes, Soraya Sleeping next to me, I lay in bed and listened to the screen door swinging open and shut with the breeze, to the crickets chirping in the yard. And I could almost feel the emptiness in Soraya's womb, like it was a living, breathing thing. It had seeped into our marriage, that emptiness, into our laughs, and our love-making. And late at night, in the darkness of our room, I'd feel it rising from Soraya and setting between us. Sleeping between us. Like a newborn child. ↗

I never heard sound and thrill of my painful heart until that very day she touched it. ↗
