"She knew at last the number on the dreadful door of fantasy, the threshold to the escape that was no escape; she knew that for her the greatest sin now and in the future was to delude herself. It had been a long lesson, but she had learned it. Either you think-- or else others have to think for you and take power from you, pervert and discipline your natural tastes, civilize and sterilize you." F. Scott Fitzgerald
"O Oysters, come and walk with us!"
The Walrus did beseech.
"A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk,
Along the briny beach:
We cannot do with more than four,
To give a hand to each."
"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."
"I weep for you," the Walrus said:
"I deeply sympathize."
With sobs and tears he sorted out
Those of the largest size,
Holding his pocket-handkerchief
Before his streaming eyes.
"O Oysters," said the Carpenter,
"You've had a pleasant run!"
Shall we be trotting home again?"
But answer came there none--
And this was scarcely odd, because
They'd eaten every one.
--Carrol

"Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away. Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away. I've changed by not changing at all... My God it's been so long, never dreamed you'd return. But now here you are and here I am. Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away." Pearl Jam
"I still care about people, but it would be so much easier not to care. It's too hard to care-- I don't want to get too involved in other people's lives, I don't want to get too close. I don't like to touch things." Andy Warhol
