And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.

I think we all mistake certain things for happiness. i think we mistake comfort for happiness and we mistake pleasure for happiness, and entertainment for happiness, when really these are just things we use as proxies for our happiness. we use them to cheer us up or try and achieve brief happiness, when really happiness is something much more profound and long lasting and exists within us.

I had always been taught that the pursuit of happiness was my natural (even national) birthright. it is the emotional trademark of my culture to seek happiness. not just any kind of happiness, either, but profound happiness, even soaring happiness. and what could possibly bring a person more soaring happiness than romantic love.

A lot of people say there is no happiness in this life, and certainly there's no permanent happiness. but self-sufficiency creates happiness. happiness is a state of bliss. just because you're satisfied one moment - saying yes, it's a good meal, makes me happy - well, that's not going to necessarily be true the next hour. life has its ups and downs, and time has to be your partner. time is your soul mate. children are happy. but they haven't really experienced ups and downs yet. i'm not exactly sure what happiness even means. i don't know if i personally could define it.

I dread the loss of her i've never touched love keeps me a slave in a cage of tears i gnaw my tongue with which to her i can never speak i miss a woman who was never born i kiss a woman across the years that say we shall never meet everything passes everything perishes everything palls my thought walks away with a killing smile leaving discordant anxiety which roars in my soul no hope no hope no hope no hope no hope no hope no hope

Love is real, real is love, love is feeling, feeling love, love is wanting to be loved. love is touch, touch is love, love is reaching, reaching love, love is asking to be loved. love is you, you and me, love is knowing, we can be. love is free, free is love, love is living, living love, love is needing to be loved.

Recreational development is a job not of building roads into lovely country, but of building receptivity into the still unlovely human mind.

Love is deceitful and sublime. in its truest form, it brings out the best in all beings. at its worse, it's a tool used to manipulate and ruin any one who is stupid enough to hold it. don't be stupid.
