She Was Still Under The Spell

“She was still under the spell of her infatuation.

She had tried to forget him, 

realizing the inutility of remembering. 

But the thought of him was like an obsession, 

ever pressing itself upon her. 

It was not that she dwelt upon details of their acquaintance,

 or recalled in any special or peculiar way his personality; 

it was his being, his existence, which dominated her thought, 

fading sometimes as if it would melt into the mist of the forgotten, 

reviving again with an intensity which filled her 

with an incomprehensible longing.”

~ Kate Chopin, The Awakening

There's Never A Reason

“There's never a reason to trust someone.

If there's a reason, then it's not trust.”

~ Gerald Morris, The Quest of the Fair Unknown

Asking For Help

“Asking for help with shame says:

You have the power over me.

But asking for help with gratitude says:

We have the power to help each other.”

The Art of Asking; 

or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Let People Help

care about them, their behavior can distress you,

even if you were really trying to be careful, tactful.”

~ Tanith Lee, Wolf Star
