                           human life has its seasons and cycles, and
                           no one's personal chaos can be permanent.
                           Winter, after all, gives way to spring and
                           summer, though sometimes when branches
                           stay dark and the earth cracks with ice,
                           one thinks they will never come, that
                           spring, and that summer, but they do, and
                           always. - Truman Capote |

                           man takes care that his neighbor shall not
                           cheat him. But a day comes when he begins
                           to care that he does not cheat his
                           neighbor. Then all goes well. He has
                           changed his market cart into a chariot of
                           the sun. - Ralph

                           real wisdom lies in not seeking answers at
                           all. Any answer we find will not be true
                           for long. An answer is a place where we
                           can fall asleep as life moves past us to
                           its next question. After all these years I
                           have begun to wonder if the secret of
                           living well is not in having all the
                           answers, but in pursuing unanswerable
                           questions in good company." from My
