More From Charles Dickens

Man's greatness is great in that he knows himself wretched. a tree does not know itself wretched. it is then being wretched to know oneself wretched; but it is being great to know that one is wretched.
Greatness Men Tree
Yes, i am sad, sad as a circus-lioness, sad as an eagle without wings, sad as a violin with only one string and that one broken, sad as a woman who is growing old. sad, sad, sad.
Wings Eagles Broken
Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.
Dream Prayer Liars
Recently, one friend asked me, "how can i force myself to smile when i am filled with sorrow? it isn't natural." i told her she must be able to smile to her sorrow, because we are more than our sorrow. a human being is like a television set with millions of channels. if we turn the buddha on, we are the buddha. if we turn sorrow on then we are sorrow. if we turn a smile on, we really are the smile. we can not let just one channel dominate us. we have the seed of everything in us, and we have to seize the situation in our hand, to recover our own sovereignty.
Hands Sorrow Able
Say thank you! i want to hear you say it now. out loud. 'thank you.' you're saying thank you because your faith is so strong that you don't doubt that whatever the problem, you'll get through it. you're saying thank you because you know that even in the eye of the storm, god has put a rainbow in the clouds. you're saying thank you because you know there's no problem created that can compare to the creator of all things. say thank you!
Happiness Strong Eye
Dawn's faint breath breathes with your mouth at the ends of empty streets. gray light your eyes, sweet drops of dawn on dark hills. your steps and breath like the wind of dawn smother houses. the city shudders, stones exhale— you are life, an awakening. star lost in the light of dawn, trill of the breeze, warmth, breath— the night is done. you are light and morning.
Sweet Morning Stars

No matter where life takes me, you'll find me with a smile. presumed to be happy, always laughing like a child. i never thought life could be this sweet! it's got me cheesing from cheek to cheek!

I spit honey out of my mouth: nothing is second-best after the sweet of eros.
