They Lay Silently

“They lay silently. 

She was staring at something across the room. 

She was making him feel uncomfortable. 

'It wouldn't work. 

It's the attraction of opposites,' he said.

We're not opposites.'

I don't mean just you and me. 

Women fall in love when they get to know you. 

Men are just the opposite. 

When they finally know you they're ready to leave.”

~ James Salter

Siblings

“Siblings: children of the same parents, 

each of whom is perfectly normal until they get together.”

~ Sam Levenson

Some People

“Some people come into our lives and 

leave footprints on our hearts and 

we are never ever the same.”

~ Flavia Weedn

If You Spend Your Life

“If you spend your life sparing people’s feelings 

and feeding their vanity, you get so you can’t 

distinguish what should be respected in them.”

~ F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tender is the Night
