“Things bloosom in their time. They bud and bloom, blossom and fade. Everything in its time.”
“We must, therefore, pursue the things that make for happiness, seeing that when happiness is present, we have everything; but when it is absent, we do everything to possess it.”
“Artistry exists in everyone. What makes it blossom is a soul's personal desire to find an outlet for expression.”
“Books don't prattle. Books don't make demands. Yet they give you everything they possess. It's a very satisfying partnership.”
“Desire makes life happen. Makes it matter. Makes everything worth it. Desire is life. Hunger to see the next sunrise or sunset, to touch the one you love, to try again. 'Hell would be waking up and wanting nothing,' he agrees.”
