"Admit it. You aren't like them. You're not even close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes.

For every time you say club passwords like "Have a nice day" and "Weather's awful today, eh?", you yearn inside to say forbidden things like "Tell me something that makes you cry" or "What do you think deja vu is for?"
-Timothy Leary

 "People deal too much with the negative, with what is wrong... why not try and see positive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom?"-Thich Nhat Hanh

"Sometimes I dream  sentence and write it down. It's usually nonsense, but sometimes it seems a key to another world"-Anne Carson
