Pain is strong, aye - but friends' eyes, more strong." i told him that he knows next to nothing about me & i know nothing about him. he jabbed at his eyes & jabbed at mine, as if that single gesture were ample explanation.
Strong Pain Eye
The gods were bored and so they created man. adam was bored because he was alone, so eve was created. thus boredom entered the world, and increased in proportion to the increase in population. adam was bored alone, then adam and eve were bored together; them adam and eve and cain and abel were bored en famille; then the population of the world increased, and the people were bored en masse.

Do you think me cruel?” neith asked. “oh, yes, i collect the pockets of my enemies.” “horrifying,” i said. “i didn’t know demons had pockets.” “oh, yes.” neith glanced in either direction, apparently to be sure no one was eavesdropping. “you just have to know where to look.

You're beautiful, but you're empty...one couldn't die for you. of course, an ordinary passerby would think my rose looked just like you. but my rose, all on her own, is more important than all of you together, since she's the one i've watered. since she's the one i put under glass, since she's the one i sheltered behind the screen. since she's the one for whom i killed the caterpillars (except the two or three butterflies). since she's the one i listened to when she complained, or when she boasted, or even sometimes when she said nothing at all. since she's my rose.

There are two goddesses in your heart,” he told them. “the goddess of wisdom and the goddess of wealth. everyone thinks they need to get wealth first, and wisdom will come. so they concern themselves with chasing money. but they have it backwards. you have to give your heart to the goddess of wisdom, give her all your love and attention, and the goddess of wealth will become jealous, and follow you.” ask nothing from your running, in other words, and you’ll get more than you ever imagined.
Running Jealous Heart
Leaves are usually looked upon as the children of the tree. yes, they are children of the tree, born from the tree, but they are also mothers of the tree. the leaves combine raw sap, water, and minerals, with sunshine and gas, and convert it into a variegated sap that can nourish the tree. in this way, the leaves become the mother of the tree. we are all children of society, but we are also mothers. we have to nourish society. if we are uprooted from society, we can not trasform it into a more liveable place for us and our children.

I don't know that i have a favorite meal. when i'm cooking i'm thinking about the person i'm feeding and i want to make them whatever they want. my husband's favorite meal is carbonara. i guess my favorite food is anything my mom makes. because like anybody who loves their mother's cooking, if you try and make your mom's recipes, they never taste quite the same. and i don't know if that's because she's lying about what she's putting in there and just not telling me. like when i turn my back, she's sneaking something in there. it just never seems to taste the same.
