“There's constant drama, and I'm busy, busy, but at the center of the madness is the desire to write, the need to write. That desire, that need, is as palpable and relentless as any junkie's craving, and will possess me all day until I can park myself in a chair and do my work.” NeedsWritingI CanDesireDramaMadnessConstantBusyParksChairsCravingRelentlessJunkie Author:Jillian Medoff
“The past is never dead. It's not even past. All of us labor in webs spun long before we were born, webs of heredity and environment, of desire and consequence, of history and eternity. Haunted by wrong turns and roads not taken, we pursue images perceived as new but whose providence dates to the dim dramas of childhood, which are themselves but ripples of consequence echoing down the generations. The quotidian demands of life distract from this resonance of images and events, but some of us feel it always.” FeelsLongPastDesireTurnsBornTakenEnvironmentGenerationsChildhoodEventsDramaDemandConsequenceLaborEternityPursueProvidenceRippleResonanceSpunHeredityWrong TurnRoad Not TakenHeredity And Environment Author:William Faulkner
“I like people to be surprised by the turn of events. I don't want things just to be pat and formulaic.

“My favorite play in drama school was 'The Bacchae.' It's about a king who literally gets eaten alive by all the women in the play in a kind of orgy - it's related to the word 'bacchanal' - and I loved that idea of animalistic chaos and following our own desires.” KindIdeasPlaySchoolDesireAliveKingsDramaChaosMy FavoriteFollowingRelatedAnimalistic Author:Hugh Jackman
“A car crash harnesses elements of eroticism, aggression, desire, speed, drama, kinesthetic factors, the stylizing of motion, consumer goods, status - all these in one event.

“Perhaps all romance is like that; not a contract between equal parties but an explosion of dreams and desires that can find no outlet in everyday life.

“Halt regarded him. He loved Horace like a younger brother. Even like a second son, after Will. He admired his skill with a sword and his courage in battle. But sometimes, just sometimes, he felt an overwhelming desire to ram the young warrior's head against a convenient tree. "You have no sense of drama or symbolism, do you?" he asked. "Huh?" replied Horace, not quite understanding. Halt looked around for a convenient tree. Luckily for Horace, there were none in sight.” SometimesYoungDesireFeltUnderstandingTreeSonBrotherDramaBattleSkillsSightWarriorOverwhelmingConvenientHaltSymbolismRamsYounger BrotherOverwhelming Desire Author:John Flanagan
“And knowing that the only alternative to your grief is the nothingness that’s fast approaching, you try to embrace your own sorrow, to be open and empty and let it all pass through you. This is the key, you have learned – to relinquish control, to relinquish the desire for control. Even in this late drama, to try to control is to go mad. And so you do your best to let it all go.” TryingDesireGriefKnowingKeysSorrowDramaLateEmptyMadEmbraceAlternativesNothingness Author:Ron Currie Jr.

You’re the book I love the best, your skin only holds my truth, you will be a palimpsest lines of age rewriting youth. You will not burn upon the pyre. Or be buried on the shelf.
