“I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now? Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.”

John Lennon

“Let me be the only one
To keep you from the cold.
Now the floor of heav'n is laid,
Its stars of brightest glow.
They shine for you.
They shine for you.
They burn for all to see.
Come into these arms again
And set this spirit free.”

Love Song For A Vampire, Annie Lennox

“I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.”

I would buy it, beg it, steal it,
Pay in coins of dripping blood
For this one transcendent good.”

Faster, Manic Street Preachers Recommended by beck.

“When I was nine, I climbed up to the high diving board at Jones Beach for the first time. My initial enthusiasm was betrayed by a mounting fear the farther I progressed up the ladder. There were at least ten children behind me occupying their own rungs, impatiently waiting for their chance at flight. Turning back was not an option, so I flung myself off the board. The fall was so fierce, so sharp, that I was buried in the water. I kept sinking lower and lower, the air busting in my chest and the terror overtaking me. I was frightened that I would never come up, that there was no bottom to this pool. I 'sank like a hopeless swimmer'. But finally, finally, my big toe skimmed the jagged concrete floor of the pool. I flexed my foot and pushed off against the bottom, propelling myself upward, back to air and sun and life.”

Undercurrents, Martha Manning

“On her way home she usually bought a slice of honey-cake at the baker's. It was her Sunday treat. Sometimes there was an almond in her slice, sometimes not. It made a great difference. If there was an almond it was like carrying home a tiny present--a surprise--something that might very well not have been there. She hurried on the almond Sundays and struck the match for the kettle in quite a dashing way.

But today she passed the baker's by, climbed the stairs, went into the little dark room--her room like a cupboard--and sat down on the red eiderdown. She sat there for a long time. The box that the fur came out of was on the bed. She unclasped the necklet quickly; quickly, without looking, laid it inside. But when she put the lid on she thought she heard something crying.”

Miss Brill, Katherine Mansfield

“Look down at me and you'll see a fool. Look up at me and you'll see your god. Look straight at me and you'll see yourself.”

The time has come for bitter things.”
