Expect a most agreeable letter, for not being overburdened with subject (having nothing at all to say), there shall be no
check to my genius from beginning to end.
--Jane Austen
how should another know your mind?
And there was a beautiful view
But nobody could see.
Cause everybody on the island
Was saying: Look at me! Look at me!
--Laurie Anderson

it strikes me as so unimaginably sad that some do not know where they're going.
The Last Toast-Anna Akhmatova
I raise my glass To ravaged home, My bitter life, And lonely days with you. I drink to you, To lying lips' betrayal, To deathly frigid eyes; To that the world is cruel and crude, To that we weren't saved by God.
the last line cuts me.
when people blind themselves to the existence of God, when they insist on refusing to acknowledge a higher being, they find themselves unable to carry on without Him, but out of pride and folly refuse to change their minds.
