People decline invitations when they are "indisposed" physically, and i wish they would do likewise when they feel indisposed emotionally. a person has no more right to attend a party with a head full of venom than with a throat full of virus.
Party People Wish
Someone's killed 100,000 people. we're almost going, "well done! you killed 100,000 people? you must get up very early in the morning! i can't even get down the gym. your diary must look odd: 'get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death - lunch - death, death, death - afternoon tea - death, death, death - quick shower ...' "

Why is it so much easier to talk to a stranger? why do we feel we need to disconnect in order to connect? if i wrote "dear sofia" or "dear boomer" or "dear lily's great-aunt" at the top of this postcard, wouldn't that change the words that followed? of course it would. but the question is: when i wrote "dear lily," was that just a version of "dear myself"? i know it was more than that. but it was also less than that, too
Aunt Order Needs
One half of me is yours, the other half is yours, mine own, i would say; but if mine, then yours, and so all yours.
Love Other Half One Half
Hadst thou no poison mixed, no sharp-ground knife, no sudden mean of death, though ne'er so mean, but 'banished' to kill me--'banished'? o friar, the damned use that word in hell; howling attends it! how hast thou the heart, being a divine, a ghostly confessor, a sin-absolver, and my friend professed, to mangle me with that word 'banished'?
Heart Mean Knives
Though i do not believe in the order of things, still the sticky little leaves that come out in the spring are dear to me, the blue sky is dear to me, some people are dear to me, whom one loves sometimes, would you believe it, without even knowing why; some human deeds are dear to me, which one has perhaps long ceased believing in, but still honors with one's heart, out of old habit..." --ivan karamazov

And if i should live to be the last leaf upon the tree in the spring, let them smile, as i do now, at the old forsaken bough where i cling.
Spring Tree Age
What leaders have to remember is that somewhere under the somnolent surface is the creature that builds civilizations, the dreamer of dreams, the risk taker. and remembering that, the leader must reach down to the springs that never dry up, the ever-fresh springs of the human spirit.
Dream Spring Civilization
I am so fresh in soul and spirit that life gushes and bubbles around me in a thousand springs.
Spring Soul Spirit
All political arrangements, in that they have to bring a variety of widely-discordant interests into unity and harmony, necessarily occasion manifold collisions. from these collisions spring misproportions between men's desires and their powers; and from these, transgressions. the more active the state is, the greater is the number of these.
