Above, the full moon set the marble of the buildings and bridges glowing as if they were all lit from within.

Life- so full of life. I could nearly taste it crackling on my tongue.”

“Around us, life bursts with miracles, a glass of water, a ray of sunshine, a leaf, a caterpillar, a flower, laughter, raindrops.”
Source: Thich Nhat Hanh: Essential Writings
“Around us, life bursts with miracles--a glass of water, a ray of sunshine, a leaf, a caterpillar, a flower, laughter, raindrops. If you live in awareness, it is easy to see miracles everywhere. Each human being is a multiplicity of miracles. Eyes that see thousands of colors, shapes, and forms; ears that hear a bee flying or a thunderclap; a brain that ponders a speck of dust as easily as the entire cosmos; a heart that beats in rhythm with the heartbeat of all beings. When we are tired and feel discouraged by life's daily struggles, we may not notice these miracles, but they are always there.”

“Aroused Passion
Oh God
Let all lovers be content
Give them happy endings
Let their lives be celebrations
Let their hearts dance in the fire of your love
My sweetheart
You have aroused my passion
Your touch has filled me with desire

These are precious moments
I beseech you
Don’t let me wait
Let me merge with you”

“Arraigned at my own bar, Memory having given her evidence of the hopes, wishes, sentiments I had been cherishing since last night-- of the general state of mind which I have indulged for nearly a fortnight past; Reason having come forward and told in her own quiet way , a plain, unvarnished tale, showing how I had rejected the real, and rabidly devoured the ideal;-- I pronounced judgment to this effect:-- That a greater fool than Jane Eyre had never breathed the breath of life: that a more fantastic idiot had never surfeited herself on sweet lies, and swallowed the poison as if it were nectar.”

“Arranquei do calendário os dias de Maio e de Junho, disse Susan, e vinte e dois dias de Julho. Arranquei-os e amarfanhei-os, e por isso já só existem como um peso no meu coração. São dias mutilados, como borboletas nocturnas com as asas arrancadas, incapazes de voar. Já só faltam oito dias. Dentro de oito dias, descerei do comboio e ficarei parada no cais às seis e vinte e cinco. A minha liberdade vai então desabrochar, fazendo estalar todas as obrigações que me tolhem e diminuem — os horários, a ordem, a disciplina, o ter de estar aqui e ali a horas certas. O dia explodirá de brilho quando eu abrir a porta e vir o meu pai com o seu velho chapéu e as polainas. Vou tremer. Romper em lágrimas. Depois, na manhã seguinte, levanto-me de madrugada. Saio pela porta da cozinha. Irei pelo paul, ouvindo trovejar atrás de mim os grandes cavalos montados por fantasmas que de súbito se detêm. Verei a andorinha roçando a erva. Vou atirar-me para um banco junto ao rio e ficar a ver os peixes deslizando entre os juncos. Terei nas palmas das mãos as marcas das agulhas dos pinheiros. Então poderei desdobrar e examinar com atenção tudo o que aqui nasceu em mim, qualquer coisa de duro. Porque alguma coisa cresceu dentro de mim, através do Inverno e do Verão, dos dormitórios e escadarias. Ao contrário de Jinny não quero ser admirada. Não quero que as pessoas ergam os olhos de admiração quando entro. Quero dar e receber e quero a solidão onde possa desdobrar em paz tudo o que possuo.”

“arrears, n. My faithfulness was as unthinking as your lapse. Of all the things I though would go wrong, I never thought it would be that. "It was a mistake," you said. But the cruel thing was, it felt like the mistake was mine, for trusting you.”
“Arren vide sempre meglio i draghi che si libravano nella brezza mattutina, e il suo cuore trasalì di gioia nell'assistere a quel volo.
Vi era racchiusa tutta la gloria della mortalità.
La bellezza dei draghi era fatta di una forza terribile, della più totale ferocia e nel contempo della grazia della ragione.
Perché si trattava di creature pensanti, dotate della capacità di parlare e di un'antica saggezza: nella leggiadria del loro volo c'era una fiera armonia.
Arren non parlò ma pensò: "Non mi interessa cosa succederà d'ora in poi. Ho visto i draghi volare nel vento del mattino.”
“Arren waited for him in the hot, leaf-speckled sunlight. He knew that Sparrowhawk was ashamed to burden Arren with his emotion, and indeed there was nothing the boy could do or say. But his heart went out utterly to his companion, not now with that first romantic ardour and adoration, but painfully as if a link were drawn forth from the very inmost of it and forged into an unbreaking bond. For in this love he now felt there was compassion: without which love is untempered, and is not whole, and does not last.”

“Arrested Development never felt safe. Even the first season, we did thirteen episodes, and we thought we'd never do a back nine. So I never thought in a million years we'd get to make three seasons. I was happy we got that far. I thought it was really good, and I'm really proud of it. I don't think we made a bad episode.”
“Arrested Development opened a lot of doors for me, and once I sort of became, I guess what you'd say "available," there was a lot of opportunity out there, and it's been nice; a lot of people have found it in their hearts to offer me movie parts.”
