being quiet

Sometimes people lie

just by being quiet.

in hell

 If you hurt people, if you know you’re hurting them, you go to Hell,’ Ingrid said. 

‘In Hell you have to watch the people you hurt, the ones who are still alive. 

If two people you hurt ever get together, 
you have to watch everything they do very closely.
But you can’t hear them. Everyone in Hell is deaf. 

You just have to watch the people you hurt without knowing 
what they’re talking about. 

Of course, Hell being Hell, 

you think they’re talking about you.

John Irving

that lie

There's always a price you pay when you lie. 

Once you introduce a lie into a relationship, 
even for the best of intentions, it is always there. 
Whenever you’re with that person again, that lie is in the room too. 

It sits on your shoulder. 

Good lie or bad lie, it's in the room with you forever now. 

It's your constant companion.

grief

Ain't no shame in holdin' on to grief, 

as long as you make room for other things too.

the attempt

I really believe that if there's any kind of god,

he wouldn't be in any one of us - not you, not me

but just in the space in between.

If there's some magic in this world, 

it must be in the attempt of understanding someone else,

sharing something.

Even if it's almost impossible to succeed,

but who cares,

the answer must be 

in the attempt.
