June, July, and August said, "it's better to bask in each other"

"Actual happiness looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn't nearly as spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamor of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand."
--Aldous Huxley


"If they give you ruled paper, write the other way."
--Juan Ramón Jiménez


"Once I took the universe to dinner
When she failed to yield to earth's demands
'Oh,' she said
'You mean that little ant farm?
I'm all right, dear,
I've got other plans'

"And we're sad because we think we don't belong here
We're guilty 'cause we think we should be stars
Floating in a navy soup, we're sailing, there you are,
There you are
She's so bright and then she's gone

"Don't mind me, I'm just sailing on a sunrise
It's my favorite thing
And when are you going to realize?
I don't blame you,
I never have

"And when she talks
She fills the room with sunlight
She can name her babies,
Every one
I've returned,
The place of my beginning
I can see her
Turning off the sun"
--Sarah Slean, "Universe"
