The Road / Cormac McCarthy

Just remember that the things you put into your head are there forever, he said. You might want to think about that.
You forget some things, don't you?
Yes. You forget what you want to remember and you remember what you want to forget.
Cormac McCarthy, The Road
"To live a creative life we must lose our fear of being wrong." Joseph Chilton Pearce

"If you press me to tell why I loved him, I feel that this cannot be expressed,
except by answering: Because it was he, because it was I."
Michel de Montaigne, "Of Friendship"

Essays in Love

Not to find the right words is paradoxically often the best proof that the right words are meant.


Alain de Botton, Essays in Love

I cannot find the right words, but I find comfort in the words above. Perhaps the reason I write so much is because I am looking for the right words, hoping I will, in the end, have them in my hands, but I realize that I can only come closer to finding them.
