If these are duly maintained, all the means of grace will be likely to prosper and be successful.

Jonathan Edwards

Pema Chodron

Wish you could turn off the questions, turn off the voices, turn off all sound. Yearn to close out the ugliness, close out the filthiness, close out all light.

Act on your impulse, swallow the bottle, cut a little deeper, put the gun to your chest.

Ellen Hopkins

If you're keeping score, win!
