Many people pray to be kept out of unexpected problems. Some people pray to be able to confront and overcome them. - By Toba Beta, Betelgeuse Incident: Insiden Bait Al-Jauza

I haven't had that one great love, which is good. I don't want that to be in the past, I want it to be in the future. - By Taylor Swift

I want to keep my dreams, even bad ones, because without them, I might have nothing all night long. - By Joseph Heller

On the surface, I was calm: in secret, without really admitting it, I was waiting for something. Her return? How could I have been waiting for that? We all know that we are material creatures, subject to the laws of physiology and physics, and not even the power of all our feelings combined can defeat those laws. All we can do is detest them. The age-old faith of lovers and poets in the power of love, stronger than death, that finis vitae sed non amoris, is a lie, useless and not even funny. So must one be resigned to being a clock that measures the passage of time, now out of order, now repaired, and whose mechanism generates despair and love as soon as its maker sets it going? Are we to grow used to the idea that every man relives ancient torments, which are all the more profound because they grow comic with repetition? That human existence should repeat itself, well and good, but that it should repeat itself like a hackneyed tune, or a record a drunkard keeps playing as he feeds coins into the jukebox...Must I go on living here then, among the objects we both had touched, in the air she had breathed? In the name of what? In the hope of her return? I hoped for nothing. And yet I lived in expectation. Since she had gone, that was all that remained. I did not know what achievements, what mockery, even what tortures still awaited me. I knew nothing, and I persisted in the faith that the time of cruel miracles was not past. - By Stanisław Lem, Solaris

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." (George Santayana)I've got news for Mr. Santayana: we're doomed to repeat the past no matter what. That's what it is to be alive. - By Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

Life becomes easier and more beautiful when we can see the good in other people. - By Roy T. Bennett
