Quote by Mehmet Murat Ildan

“Everyone sleeps and everyone wakes up; these are ordinary and boring awakenings! But there is also the awakening of spring, an extraordinary awakening! In classical music, all the instruments start to play at the same time and there is a great wave of excitement, and spring wakes up just like that!”

“જે છૂટી ગયું હોય કે છોડી દીધું હોય એને ક્લેઈમ કરવા ક્યારેય પાછા ન ફરવું. ભૂતકાળ બનેલી ક્ષણો પર દાવો કરવાથી ક્યારેક આપણે ફરી એ જ બેડીઓમાં પ્રવેશી જઈએ છીએ, જેમાંથી માંડ છુટકારો મેળવેલો. એ ક્ષણો ગમ્મે તેટલી સુખદ હોય, ભૂતકાળને ફરીથી જીવવાનો પ્રયત્ન કરવો મૂર્ખામી છે. કારણકે લાખ પ્રયત્નો પછી પણ એની એ જ ક્ષણોને આપણે ફરીથી જીવી નથી શકવાના. ભૂતકાળ ગમ્મે તેટલો પોકારે, એને પાછળ વળીને જોવાની ભૂલ ન કરવી. એ સુખદ યાદોને મનોમન ચૂમી લેવી અને આગળ વધવું.”

“Spring, is a time of re-growth and renewal. It is a time when one has more garden chores to do, such as planting new seedings in the vegetable and flower gardens. Also, a time of great activity, when the grass and weeds start to grow and need to be chopped back. There is no mistake, that a lot of people start new businesses, in spring and even get married in spring. It is a time of great promise and forward movement in life.” “So going back to the yellow flowers, they signify optimism, prosperity and action. So seeing and particularly going outside, when it is spring and spending time with the yellow flowers like the wattle and daffodils give one an increased optimism for the life and the coming season and helps people have more energy to go about the weekly jobs that spring most generously provides!”

“My shrink suggested that if I was going to continue traveling so much that I could look into getting a service animal expressly trained to provide emotional support to people with anxiety disorders. I considered getting Hunter S. Thomcat trained, but then I remembered that he gets spontaneous nervous diarrhea every time he's in a moving car, and I'd imagine that holding a cat who seems to have explosive plane dysentery wouldn't necessarily *help* my anxiety as give me something new (and horribly unsanitary) to be anxious about. I called around to different service-animal specialists and spoke to a woman who told me it's better to get an animal who has already been trained and has the right temperament. She also told me cats aren’t preferred emotional-support animals for anxiety disorder, but my cats hate dogs so I figured I was fucked, but then she told me that the Americans with Disabilities Act was recently interpreted as allowing “people with anxiety disorders to travel with an emotional-support pony on airlines.” So basically I could bring a goddamn pony on board with me. I’m pretty sure a pony wouldn’t fit under my seat or in my lap, but I rather liked the idea of a small medicinal horse standing in the aisle beside me while I braided his mane. Plus, Pony Danza would make a great pack animal and instead of bringing suitcases I could just put my extra clothes on him and that way I wouldn’t have to pay to check a bag. Plus, the pony wouldn’t get cold because it would be wearing my pajamas.”
