She is a friend of mind. She gather me, man. The pieces I am, she gather them and give them back to me in all the right order. It’s good, you know, when you got a woman who is a friend of your mind.

~Toni Morrison, Beloved

Just remember…if the world didn’t suck, we’d all fall off.

With some people solitariness is an escape not from others but from themselves. For they see in the eyes of others only a reflection of themselves.

– Eric Hoffer
