Quote by Huntley Fitzpatrick

“Her lips touch just against my mouth, then the cleft of my chin, back to my lips. 'Good night, Tim.' My lips on her forehead. 'Good night, Alice.' I can't remember ever having something and not reaching for more. But I back away from her, hands in my pockets. Enough.”

“Let today be the day we choose love over silence, forgiveness over pride, and presence over distance. The clock is ticking, and eternity is closer than we think. Don’t wait for a funeral to say ‘I miss you.’ Don’t wait for regret to say ‘I love you.’ Rebuild the bridge. Make the call. Send the prayer. Hug tighter. Laugh louder. Forgive faster. Because every breath is a gift—and every moment is a chance to love again.”

“Tim blinked his eyes a few times, and then crossed a leg over in an attempt to regain a composure that would cover any visible traces of destructive inclinations possibly stored in any mental compartments in his emotional vehicle. He trembled a bit after catching a presumed glimpse of unstableness in himself through the second person perception of himself that could have possibly been perceived by his supervisor.”

“Tim shot a cool thumbs up, and then walked over to the—somewhat—historic staircase of the industry. He flipped on the light for upstairs, and then made his way up the old flight of steps. The thin wooden panels creaked beneath his feet while dusty atmospheric ovations lifted to add a vintage textured rhythm to the analogically customized tuning of the antique patterned theme; synonymous with the abbreviated modernized antiquity categorized theme pertaining to the worn in structural exhibition, showcasing a glimpse into the early history of the industry's humble beginnings.”

“I hope people will listen to this interview in a very personal sense, and that this discussion with you will help people look at themselves in maybe a new way. So rather than self-judgment about stuff that went wrong or they did to themselves or others, they get curious. What made me do that? They get curious compassionately because we're all born just wanting to be loving and loved. And then something happens. And then it's a hard road back. But I hope that this conversation helps people reconnect with that path or encourage them to continue that.”

“Ach, nou vergeet ik één ding te vertellen: de dominee was ook op bezoek, een zeer belezen en wijze man met een hoornen bril. Hij droeg een leuk pak en vrolijke schoenen. Hij praatte vaak met mij over Sartre, Hegel, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard en andersen. Als eerste heeft hij mij in contact gebracht met Winnie-the-Pooh. De dominee vond mij een aardige jongen en ik mocht hem ook wel. De dominee schreef in zijn vrije tijd gedichten en soms las hij ze aan me voor. Ze gingen haast altijd over de herfst en de dood.”

“Hier,’ had Jan Liefkind tegen zijn zoon van twaalf gezegd, ‘een vuilniszak vol poëzie. Ga die maar verkopen, het geld mag je houden.’ Vol goede moed was het jongetje op weg gegaan, van antiquariaat naar antiquariaat. Laat in de middag keerde hij bezweet en teleurgesteld, de vuilniszak op zijn rug torsend terug. Niemand bleek geïnteresseerd. Toen zijn zoon het grootste antiquariaat van de stad gesmeekt had de zak dan tenminste achter te mogen laten had men hem honend de deur gewezen. ‘Zelfs voor niets wil niemand ze hebben, pap, die gedichten,’ vatte zijn zoon zijn vergeefse expeditie samen. Steeds als Liefkind de jaarlijkse afrekening van zijn uitgever bekeek moest hij aan dit voorval denken. Nee, niemand zat te wachten op poëzie. ― The Dutch invented jazz”
