      First time I read that sentence, I remember I had to close my book and think for a minute.

      “the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.” ― Jack Kerouac, On the Road


      “Not all those who wander are lost.”
      ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

      "Because his harmonica’s worse than Stevie Wonder?"

      “The thing I never understood about love is that it can't be quelled, like lust can. With love, if you follow its call, if you give in to it, it just gets worse. The more you have, the deeper you go, the more you need.”

      ~Emily Maguire, Taming The Beast.
      Thanks B'ni for the Like. You should read Maguire's book. It's a dark tale of sexual power, love and lust and its consequencies. It was one of the most powerful, moving books I've ever read.



      Sometimes the best memories people make, are new ones.
