Beauty

It’s hard to be angry when there’s so much beauty in the world. Sometimes, I feel like I’m seeing it all at once, and I can’t take it. My heart swells up like a balloon that’s about to burst. But then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold onto it. And then, it flows through me like rain and I feel nothing but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life. You have no idea what I’m talking about, I’m sure. But don’t worry. You will someday.

—Alan Ball, American Beauty

Love

Love doesn’t just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; re-made all the time, made new.

—Ursula K. Le Guin
