“Maybe we should always start everything from the inside and work to the outside, and not from the outside to the inside. What d'you think?” LifePhilosophyQuestions Book:Postcards from No Man's Land Source: Postcards from No Man's Land
“Ah, clever clogs, but it will have happened in one of my alternative lives. You know--the lives hot-shot scientists tell us we are living at the same time as this one we know about. Which being so, how do you know that what happens in one of your alternative lives doesn't sometimes leak through into your consciousness in this life, and make you sad that you aren't living that particular alternative life instead of this one? Don't you sometimes feel depressed for no reason you can think of? I do. And maybe that's why. We've had a leak from an alternative life and want that life now. Like wanting an ice cream when you were little, which you knew was in the freezer, but your mom wouldn't let you have it.” LifePhilosophy Book:Postcards from No Man's Land Source: Postcards from No Man's Land
“Things it helps me to remember When in a bad mood, keep quiet or still. Baggy jumpers don’t suit you. When you’re tired you get doubtful. Difficulties come in spurts. Listen to the echo of your own voice. Avoid be strident. All aeroplanes go through clouds during their journeys. So do people during theirs. Often greater clarity comes out of confusion. You have to be puzzled before you find a solution. PMS often brings on a crisis of confidence. Ordinariness is restful. If someone is explosive in front of you, be silent. If you feel explosive, be silent.” LifeRememberPoemThings To Live By Book:This Is All: The Pillow Book of Cordelia Kenn Source: This Is All: The Pillow Book of Cordelia Kenn
