Life is a Work of Art

I’ve been told that people in the army do more by 7:00 am than I do in an entire day But if I wake at 6:59 am and turn to you to trace the outline of your lips with mine I will have done enough and killed no one in the process.

The hours between 12am and 6am have a funny habit of making you feel like you’re either on top of the world, or under it.

Maybe the moon is beautiful only because it is far. لربما القمر ليس جميلا إلا لأنه بعيد

Having a soft heart in a cruel world is courage, not weakness.

Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.

Find someone who knows how to calm your storms.

We are, as a species, addicted to story. Even when the body goes to sleep, the mind stays up all night, telling itself stories.

We tear and trip over tired             memories rather than                   treasuring our time in hand.
