No, Life cannot be understood flat on a page.  It has to be Lived, a person has to get out of his head, 

has to faLL in Love, has to memorize poems, has to jump off bridges into rivers, has to stand in

 an empty desert and whisper sonnets under his breathe.

We get one story, you and I, and one story alone.

" A grownup is a child with layers on."-Woody Harrelson

"Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it. 

Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." -Howard Thurman

"Love comes to those who still hope even though they've been disappointed, 

to those who still believe even though they've been betrayed, 

to those who still love even though they've been hurt."
