he who sees age on the outside of things is doomed to underestimate the vitality of raisins.

with our capacity for desire, there is almost nothing that we are not capable of preventing ourselves from doing.

love is something so easy and obvious that it is practically necessary for us as humans to screw it up just to assure ourselves that nothing is impossible.

there is no paradox.  there is only irony. 

we trade away some, if not much, of our freedom for the feeling of safety that comes with sticking with what we know because the known can only be as scary as it already is, whereas the unknown has limitless potential to be terrifying.
