‘And he won her freedom by playing beautiful music,’ Roland added.  ‘I think he played a lute.  Or maybe it was a lyre.’ ‘Ach, weel, that’ll suit us fine,’ said Daft Wullie.  'We’re experts at lootin’ an’ then lyin’ aboot it.’
Terry Pratchett, “Wintersmith” (Roland said the word ‘lyre’ and I though ‘HERE IT COMES’ and I was not disappointed.)

Winnie the Pooh quotes make me cry.
animentality:
“I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart for so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time.” 
“I used to believe in forever, but forever’s too good to be true” 
“I don’t feel very much like Pooh today,“ said Pooh. “There there,” said Piglet. “I’ll bring you tea and honey until you do.” 
“I wonder what Piglet is doing,” thought Pooh. “I wish I were there to be doing it, too.” 
“If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.” 
“We’ll be friends forever, won’t we, Pooh?” asked Piglet. “Even longer,” Pooh answered.
“If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together… there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart… I’ll always be with you.” 
“Forever isn’t long at all, Christopher, as long as I’m with you.” 
“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”

Love isn’t a state of perfect caring. It is an active noun like struggle. To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and now.

The bigger the issue, the smaller you write. Remember that. You don’t write about the horrors of war. No. You write about a kid’s burnt socks lying on the road. You pick the smallest manageable part of the big thing, and you work off the resonance.
Richard Price (via writewild)

Virtue is more to be feared than vice, because its excesses are not subject to the regulation of conscience.

そもそも、人に何かを教えたいと欲する時、大きく分ければ理由は2つしかありません。自分の成功を伝えたい時か...自分の失敗を伝えたい時。 [To begin with, when a person desires to teach something to others, dividing broadly, there are only two reasons. To impart one's successes...or to impart one's failures.]

気持ちの強さで勝負が決まるって言っちまったら、じゃあ負けた方の気持ちはショボかったのかって話になるだろ [If you say that the result of a fight depends on the strength of people's feelings, then you end up with the conclusion that the losing side had shabby feelings, don't you?]

In the Ramtops village where they dance the real Morris dance, for example, they believe that no-one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away - until the clock he wound up winds down, until the wine she made has finished its ferment, until the crop they planted is harvested. The span of someone's life, they say, is only the core of their actual existence.
Terry Pratchett (Reaper Man)

Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence.
