RIP Maurice Sendak, you truly were a wild thing, and in your words:
““I cry a lot because I miss people. They die and I can’t stop them. They leave me and I love them more.”
“There is no creature among all the Beasts of the world which hath so great and ample demonstration of the power and wisdom of almighty God as the Elephant.”
-Edward Topsell
“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?”
-Alice from Alice in Wonderland
“Be careless in your dress if you will, but keep a tidy soul.”
-Mark Twain
“I feel very adventurous. There are so many doors to be opened, and I’m not afraid to look behind them.”
RIP miss taylor <3…you’re still missed
For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can’t readily accept the God formula, the big answers don’t remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command nor faith a dictum. I am my own god. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.
“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves”
-John Muir
