while you're making other plans

Our life is a book to which we add daily, until suddenly we are finished, and then the manuscript is burned. In this diary we set out meaning to write one story, and write another. To turn back to the beginning is only to wonder and to be sad, but to compare the second half of the volume as it is with what we vowed to make it, is to be lashed with nettles.
-J.M. Barrie, The Little Minister

so true it makes me sad

Never say or do anything that the person standing in front of you cannot understand.
-Arthur Rimbaud in I'm Not There

it's the nature of the species

Something always breaks up love affairs unless both parties are willing to compromise themselves.
-Tim Powers, The Drawing of the Dark

and the time between seemed like no more than the wave of a hand to the clear blue sky

In the end we all go smash to the floor.
-Stephen King, Duma Key

coulda woulda shoulda

The things "one might have done" are, in fact, the things one could not do.
-Colette, Julie De Carneilhan

now I have no choice but to eat you

Spiders bite, and a clockmaker can be useful.

we can't keep falling forever, you know

But don't let us worry over such things... we can't help ourselves just now, you know, and I've always been told it's foolish to borrow trouble.
-Frank Baum, Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz
