"How happy is the blameless vestal's lot?
The world forgetting by the world forgot
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
Each prayer accepted and each wish resigned."
"I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who's ever lived: I've loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough."
""Words are bearers and generators of ideas - perhaps even more than the reserve. As weavers of spells and magic, not only do they transmit those ideas and things but they themselves metaphorize and metabolize into one another by a kind of spiral evolution."
the pursuit of happyness.
i came across these quotes and they struck home i guess...
"And it was at that time that I thought about Thomas Jefferson writing that Declaration of Independence. Him saying that we have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And I thought about how he knew to put the 'pursuit' in there, like no one can actually have happiness. We can only pursue it . And maybe we can actually never have it no matter what."

"The next day, after work, we just went to the beach. Far away from anything. Far from everything. Just Christopher and me.
Far away from buses, and noise and a constant disappointment in my 10 gallon head,
and in myself . . .
because when I was young and I'd get an A on a history test or whatever, I'd get this good feeling about all the things I could be and then i never became any of them ."
