jag Àr mullen kring din gravsten
jag var din enda vÀn
jag blir ett minne som förs bort av vinden

“The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.”

~ Michelangelo (1475-1564)

ibland kÀnns det som jag har
ett hav runt om mig

som om salta vÄgor
slickar min hud

som om jag bara ibland
fÄr möjlighet att andas

Yet another quote from a Robin Hobb-book! But this one will be the last one for a while:

‘It’s that – no matter how far you go back, someone took the land from someone else. I don’t think anything can be solved by trying to work out who stole it first. The solution is in the future, Epiny, not the past.’

from Renegade’s Magic (page 183), book three of The Soldier Son Trilogy.

Veronika decides to die

Filed under: Books, In English, Politik, Quotes, Text only — Sigrinn @ 17:00

This time you’ll have a qoute from Paulo Coelho’s book Veronika decides to die:

‘… You’re someone who is different, but who wants to be the same as everyone else. And that, in my view, is a serious illness.’
‘Is wanting to be different a serious illness?’
‘It is if you force yourself to be the same as everyone else: it causes neuroses, psychoses and paranoia…’

(page 153)
