Quotes-
The classic quotes and some new I made up 
Nothing tastes as good as thin feels.
One moment on the lips ... forever on the hips.
The thinner the winner!
You can never be too rich or too thin.
Hunger hurts but starving works ...
This is forever. I will do whatever it takes. I want to be thin more than anything, even food...
Starvation is fulfilling. Colors become brighter, sounds sharper, odors so much more savory and penetrating that inhalation fills every fibre and pore of the body. The greatest enjoyment of food is actually found when never a morsel passes the lips.
I'm tired to be the fat girl and wear the mask everybody else told me to, I'm tired to always be the second bestfriend, I'm tired of always eat just becos that is what they expect me to do.
One day I will be thin enough. Just the bones, no disfiguring flesh. Just the pure clear shape of me, bones. That is what we all are, what we're made up of and everything else is just storage, deposit, waste. Strip it away, use it up.
You will be tempted quite frequently, and you will have to choose whether you shall enjoy the twenty minutes or so that you will be consuming excess calories, or whether you
will cordially despise yourself for two or three days, for your lack of willpower.
Nothing. Nothing is wrong, and asking is against the rules. Crying is against the rules. You're strong, don't let them break you. They're trying to destroy you.
Quod me nutrit, me destruit. (What nourishes me also destroys me.)
The more [shit] they give me, the less [food] I'll eat.
Why can't the realize my strength? How much it's taken to make so little of myself
Most women live their lives in a state of starvation..Why should I be any different?
It's simple: You decide once and for all that you aren't going to eat, and then there is no further decision to make.
In the body, as in sculpture, perfection is attained not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
They always say they're concerned about me, about my health, when all they want to do is control me. They want to pin me down and force-feed me with lies, with what they call
love. Like prisoners everywhere, all I have left is the power to refuse.
I do eat normally: only what is needful for survival. I can't help it that we live in a piggish society where gluttony is the norm, and everyone else is constantly stuffing themselves.
If I want something hard eunogh I will get it, If I only imagine I can feel it, I can tutch it, If I decided to wake up and live, my dream would be able to reach its goal, to live. but you wouldent let me, so now I live in this dreamworld you made up for me, and in my dreams nothing is impossible, one day you will se, one day I will be free.
When I wake, I'm empty, light, light-headed. I like to stay this way, free and pure, light on my feet, traveling light. For me, food's only interest lies in how little I need, how
strong I am, how well I can resist, each time achieving another small victory of the will.
Like a plant, surely the body can be trained to exist on nothing, to take it's nourishment from the air.
To walk on the water, to fly like a bird, to be invisible to the world. When you coast without eating for a significant period of time, and you are still alive, you begin to scoff at those fools who believe they must eat to live. It is blatantly obvious to you that this is not true.
Food hinders your progress.
We turn skeletons into goddesses, and look to them as if they might teach us how not to need.
How many pounds till I am happy, how many pounds till I get thin? Three more pounds till I am skinny, three more pounds and I win!
You've made a decision: you will NOT stop. The pain is neccessary, especially the pain of hunger. It reassures you that you are strong, can withstand anything.
You can learn to love anything, I think, if you need to badly enough. I trained myself to enjoy feeling hungry. If my stomach contracts, or I wake up feeling nauseated, or I'm light-headed or have a hunger headache, or better yet, all of the above, it means I'm getting thinner, so it feels good. I feel strong, on top of myself, in control.
There is no TRY. There is only DO.
test me, I will never stop, trust me, you wont se my eyes in fear, love me, then you might be able to reach me. Understand me, the only way to be.

There is no TRY. There is only DO.
The difference between failure and success
is doing a thing nearly right and doing it exactly right. Success comes to those who become success conscious.
Failure comes to those who indifferently allow themselves to become failure conscious.
There isn’t much thrill in success unless one has first been close to failure.
The secret of success is the consistency to pursue.
Success won’t just come to you - it has to be met at least half way.
Success is the reward for accomplishment
When it comes to losing weight, those who can do;
those that can make excuses.
Everything depends upon the right action of the will.
From "Paradise Lost"
so soft and uncompunded is their essence pure, not tied or manacled with joint or limb, nor founded on the brittle strength of bones, like cumbrous flesh
From "Hedwig"
the automatist's undoing, the whole world starts unscrewing, as time collapses and space warps. you see decay and ruin, I tell you no no no no, you make such an exquisite corpse.
I strive daily so remember that the man I love may one day love me when I'm thin!
I do not struggle in your web, because it was my aim to get caught. But daddy longlegs I feel that I'm finally growing weary of waiting to be consumed by you.
To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness. - Bertrand Russell
Don't eat. If you want to see food, look in the mirror at your thighs
Of course it's hard. If it was easy then everybody would do it. Its the hard that makes it great.
I want to be the smallest I can possibly be...when I see bone, that's the day I will finally feel free...
Fortune favors the brave.
We are what we repeatedly do -William Blake

hearts live by being wounded - Oscar Wilde
it's not far, I can take you there, where the air is pure and clean. lay your head on my flower bed, and I promise you, you'll never ever want to say goodbye
Psalm:
Strict is my diet. I must not want.
It maketh me to lie down at night hungry.
It leadeth me past the confectioners.
It trieth my willpower.
It leadeth me in the paths of alteration for my figure's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the aisles of the pastry department,
I will buy no sweet rolls for they are fattening.
The cakes and the pies, they tempt me.
Before me is a table set with green beans and lettuce.
I filleth my stomach with liquids
My day's quota runneth over.
Surely calorie and weight charts will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the fear of the scales forever.
Something to think about:
"To be jealous of what you see to be good, and to be envious of those who are better than yourself, seems, in the eyes of some people to be a slight and petty wrong; and, being thought trifling and of small account, it is not feared; not being feared, it is contemned; being contemned, it is not easily shunned: and it thus becomes a dark and hidden mischief, which, as it is not perceived so as to be guarded against by the prudent, secretly distresses incautious minds."
"Always set your goals and expectations high. There will come times when you think that you can't push any harder. You can. There will come times when you want to walk away. DON'T. Never lose sight of what you really want to accomplish." ~Dawn Staley
Don't give up 5 minutes before the miracle
"I am your butter and your bread. The voice that's in your head.
I'll take you in and fill you up with a lack of being fed" -Ana

It takes courage to push yourself to places you have never been before...to test your limits...to break through barriers.
In life, you learn that obstacles really don't matter that much. Pain or other circumstances can be there, but if you want to do something bad enough, you'll find a way to get it done.
If you dwell on what you don't want... you'll get more of it.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.
- Aristotle
Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.
--Unknown
To be nobody-but-yourself -- in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else--means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.
--E. E. Cummings
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
--Mark Twain
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."
--Mahatma Gandhi
Motivation is like food for the brain. You cannot get enough in one sitting. It needs continual and regular top ups.

--Mark Twain
From "Prozac Nation"
"I'm the girl who is lost in space, the girl who is disappearing always, forever fading away and receding farther and farther into the background. Just like the Cheshire cat, someday I will suddenly leave, but the
artificial warmth of my smile, that phony, clownish curve, the kind you see on miserably sad people and villains in Disney movies, will remain behind as an ironic remnant. I am the girl you see in the photograph from some party someplace or some picnic in the park, the one who is in fact soon to be gone. When you look at the picture again, I want to assure you, I will no longer be there. I will be erased from history, like a traitor in the Soviet Union. Because with every day that goes by, I feel myself becoming more and
more invisible..."
We are only so unhappy because we insist on believing that the whole reason of life is happiness.
William Blake:
Does a firm persuasion that a thing is so make it so?...all poets believe that it does, and in ages of imagination this firm persuasion removed mountains; but many are not capable of a firm persuasion of any thing.
But first the notion that man has a body distinct from his soul, is to be expunged: this i shall do, by printing in the infernal method, by corrosives, which in Hell are salutary and medicinal, melting apparent surfaces away, and displaying the infinite which was hid.
If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is: infinite.
For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things through narrow chinks of his cavern.
From Wasted:
A problem? Yes, eating is definitely a problem. Got to stop eating."
In truth, you like the pain...Your ability to withstand pain is your claim to fame. It is ascetic, holy. It is self-control. It is masochism, and masochism pleasurable to many, but we don't like to think about that. We don't like to think that a person could have a twisted autoerotic life going on...experience both at once: the pleasure of beating the hell out of a body shackled at the wrists, and the pleasure of being the body and knowing we deserve each blow.
The absolute truism of eating disorders is that you never believe you are thin enough. Whereas most people set out to lose a few pounds, say 5, 10, 15 - and stop when they get there, the anorectic sets out to lose 10 pounds and then says, well, maybe 15. She loses 15 and says 20, loses the twenty, says 30, loses 30, says 40, loses the 40 and dies. Oops. She hadn't really meant to die. She just wanted to see what would happen. Wanted to see how far she could go. And then couldn't quite bring herself to break her fall.
It does not hit you until later. The fact that you were essentially dead does not register until you begin to come alive. Frostbite does not hurt until it starts to thaw. First it is numb. Then a shock of pain rips through the body. And then, every winter after, it aches.
There is a self-perpetuating belief that one simply cannot help it, and this is very dangerous. It becomes an identity in and of itself. It becomes its own religion, and you wait for salvation, and you wait, and wait, and wait, and do not save yourself. If you saved yourself, and did not wait for salvation, you'd be self-sufficient. How dull.
Its never over. Not really. Not when you've stayed down there as long as I did, not when you've lived in the netherworld longer than you've lived in this material one, where things are very bright and large and make such strange noises. You never come back, not all the way.
For the vast majority of eating disordered people, it is something that will haunt you for the rest of your life. You may change your behavior, change your beliefs about yourself and your body, give up that particular way of coping with the world. You may learn, as I have, that you would rather be a human than a human's thin shell. You may get well. But you never forget.
Eating disorders provide a little private drama, they feed into the desire for constant excitement, everything becomes life-or-death, everything is terribly grand and crashing, very Sturm und Drang. And they are distracting. You don't have to think about any of the nasty minutiae of the real world, you don't get caught up in that awful boring thing called regular life, with its bills and its breakups and its dishes and laundry and groceries and arguments over whose turn it is to change the litter box and bedtimes and bad sex and all that, because you are having a REAL drama, not a sitcom but a GRAND EPIC, all by yourself, and why would you bother with those foolish mortals when you could spend hours and hours with the mirror, when you are having the MOST INTERESTING sado-masochistic affair with your own image?
And so I went through the looking glass, stepped into the netherworld, where up is down and food is greed, where convex mirrors cover the walls, where death is honor and flesh is weak. It is ever so easy to go. Harder to find your way back.
The body is no more than a costume, and can be changed at will. That the change of bodies, like costumes, would make me into a different character, a character who might, finally, be alright.
A disappearing act, the act of becoming invisible, is, in fact, a visible act, and rarely goes unnoticed.
A goal is only as worthy as the effort that's required to achieve it.
What's madness but nobility of soul at odds with circumstance? The day's on fire! I know the purity of despair, my shadow pinned against a sweating wall. That place among the rocks - is it a cave, or a winding path? The edge is what I have."
- Theodore Roethke, "In a Dark Time
If it hurts, you know what? its probably worth it. You hope, and you dream...
Why should your dreams not be beautiful? Why should you not believe in your
dreams?
Sometimes things become possible if we want them enough.
~ T.S. Elliot
You will discover that there will be good days, and there will be bad days.
For you, for me, and for everyone else. You are never alone.
Vouloir, c'est pouvoir, n'est-ce pas?
(where there's a will, there's a way, no?)
I expected something pathological, but I did not expect the depth, the violence,
and the almost intolerable beauty of the disease.
~ Kurt Vonnegut, "Cat's Cradle"
Blessed is he who carries within himself a God, an ideal, and obeys it
~ Louis Pasteur
With time and patience the mulberry leaf becomes silk
~ Chinese proverb
Mind is locked in matter like the spirit Ariel in a cloven pine.
Like Ariel, men struggle to escape the drag of the matter they inhabit.
~ Loren Eisley
Those things that hurt, instruct
~ Ben Franklin
Just when the caterpillar thought the world had ended, he became a butterfly.
~ anonymous
From: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
(which is not about zen or motorcycles. but its a good read in case you're interested. really philosophical)
"When you live in the shadow of insanity, the appearance of another mind
that thinks and talks as yours does is something close to a blessed event."
"These damned heights get eerie after a while. I want to go down, way down; far, far down.
To the ocean. That sounds right. Where the waves roll in slowly and there's always a roar
and you can't fall anywhere. You're already there."
Patience is the art of hoping
~ Vauvenargues
If you pursue evil (food) with pleasure, the pleasure passes away and the evil (fat) remains;
If you pursue good with labor, the labor passes away but the good remains
~ Cicero
There is this hunger, this restlessness inside of me,
and it knows that you're no stranger, you're my gravity
~ Jewel
in the middle of difficulty lies opportunity
~ Albert Einstein
In every man's heart there is a secret nerve that answers to the vibrations of beauty
~ Christopher Morley
I haven't felt the way i feel today in so long it's hard for me to specify
I'm beginning to notice how much this feels like a waking limb...pins and needles...
so could it be that it has been there all along?
you were born with wings. Why prefer to crawl through life?
~Rumi
When life gives you lemons
...squirt them in its eye, kick it, take its wallet, and run away
There's a hidden sweetness in the stomach's emptiness.
We are lutes, no more, no less. If the soundbox
is stuffed full of anything, no music.
If the brain and the belly are burning clean
with fasting, every moment a new song comes out of the fire.
The fog clears, and new energy makes you
run up the steps in front of you.
Be emptier and cry like reed instruments cry.
Emptier, write secrets with the reed pen.
When you're full of food and drink, an ugly metal
statue sits where your spirit should. When you fast,
good habits gather like friends who want to help.
Fasting is Solomon's ring. Don't give it
to some illusion and lose your power,
but even if you have, if you've lost all will and control,
they come back when you fast, like soldiers appearing
out of the ground, pennants flying above them.
~Rumi
"Wicked Little Town" - from Hedwig
You know, the sun is in your eyes
And hurricanes and rains
and black and cloudy skies.
You're running up and down that hill.
You turn it on and off at will.
There's nothing here to thrill
or bring you down.
And if you've got no other choice
You know you can follow my voice
through the dark turns and noise
of this wicked little town.
Oh, Lady Luck has led you here
and they're so twisted up
they'll twist you up, i fear
the pious, hateful, and devout,
you're turning tricks til you're turned out,
the wind so cold it burns,
you're burning out and blowing round.
And if you've got no other choice,
you know you can follow my voice
through the dark turns and noise
of this wicked little town.
The fates are vicious and they'er cruel.
You learn too late you've used two wishes
like a fool
and then you're someone you are not,
and Junction City aint the spot,
remember mrs Lot
and when she turned around.
And if you've got no other choice
you know you can follow my voice
through the dark turns and noise
of this wicked little town.
Forgive me for I did not know
Cuz I was just a boy, and you were so much more
Than any God could ever plan
More than a woman or a man
And now i understand
how much i took from you:
That, when everything starts breaking down,
You take the pieces off the ground
And show this wicked town something beautiful and new
You think that Luck has left you there
But maybe there's nothing up in the sky but air
And there's no mystical design,
no cosmic lover pre-assigned
There's nothing you can find
that cannot be found
Cause with all the changes you've been through
it seems the stranger's always you
alone again in some new wicked little town
So, when you've got no other choice
You know you can follow my voice
Through the dark turns and noise of this wicked little town
Oh, its a wicked little town
Goodbye, wicked little town
I do not intend to tiptoe through life just so I can arrive safely at death
::I Dream of things, you laugh at. You laugh at me for making goals that are too high. You make fun behind my back, because I reach them.::
::I Strive for perfection, I drive myself on that. My dream may be far off, but each kilo/lbs that falls off, I am one step closer than before. Knowing I am getting closer, gives me energy to keep going. So I do not give up::
From Witch Baby:
"I seek strength not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy--myself."
-Seneca
"The Great Spirit has made us what we are:
it is not his will that we should be changed
If it is his will, he would let us know
if it is not his will, it would be wrong for
us to attempt it, nor could we, by any art
change our nature. We cannot change who we are."
-Shoshone
"Let your true nature be known"
- Huron

One day I will be thin enough. Just the bones, no disfiguring flesh. Just the pure clear shape of me, bones. That is what we all are, what we're made up of and everything else is just storage, deposit, waste. Strip it away, use it up.
You will be tempted quite frequently, and you will have to choose whether you shall enjoy the twenty minutes or so that you will be consuming excess calories, or whether you
will cordially despise yourself for two or three days, for your lack of willpower.
Nothing. Nothing is wrong, and asking is against the rules. Crying is against the rules. You're strong, don't let them break you. They're trying to destroy you.
Quod me nutrit, me destruit. (What nourishes me also destroys me.)
The more [shit] they give me, the less [food] I'll eat.
Why can't the realize my strength? How much it's taken to make so little of myself
Most women live their lives in a state of starvation..Why should I be any different?
It's simple: You decide once and for all that you aren't going to eat, and then there is no further decision to make.
In the body, as in sculpture, perfection is attained not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
They always say they're concerned about me, about my health, when all they want to do is control me. They want to pin me down and force-feed me with lies, with what they call
love. Like prisoners everywhere, all I have left is the power to refuse.
I do eat normally: only what is needful for survival. I can't help it that we live in a piggish society where gluttony is the norm, and everyone else is constantly stuffing themselves.
When I wake, I'm empty, light, light-headed. I like to stay this way, free and pure, light on my feet, traveling light. For me, food's only interest lies in how little I need, how
strong I am, how well I can resist, each time achieving another small victory of the will.
Like a plant, surely the body can be trained to exist on nothing, to take it's nourishment from the air.
To walk on the water, to fly like a bird, to be invisible to the world.
Food hinders your progress.
We turn skeletons into goddesses, and look to them as if they might teach us how not to need.
How many pounds till I am happy, how many pounds till I get thin? Three more pounds till I am skinny, three more pounds and I win!
You've made a decision: you will NOT stop. The pain is neccessary, especially the pain of hunger. It reassures you that you are strong, can withstand anything.
You can learn to love anything, I think, if you need to badly enough. I trained myself to enjoy feeling hungry. If my stomach contracts, or I wake up feeling nauseated, or I'm light-headed or have a hunger headache, or better yet, all of the above, it means I'm getting thinner, so it feels good. I feel strong, on top of myself, in control.
There is no TRY. There is only DO.

test me, I will never stop, trust me, you wont se my eyes in fear, love me, then you might be able to reach me. Understand me, the only way to be.

There is no TRY. There is only DO.
The difference between failure and success
is doing a thing nearly right and doing it exactly right.Success comes to those who become success conscious.
Failure comes to those who indifferently allow themselves to become failure conscious.There isn’t much thrill in success unless one has first been close to failure.
The secret of success is the consistency to pursue.
Success won’t just come to you - it has to be met at least half way.
Success is the reward for accomplishment
When it comes to losing weight, those who can do;
those that can make excuses.Everything depends upon the right action of the will.

Strict is my diet. I must not want.
It maketh me to lie down at night hungry.
It leadeth me past the confectioners.
It trieth my willpower.
It leadeth me in the paths of alteration for my figure's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the aisles of the pastry department,
I will buy no sweet rolls for they are fattening.
The cakes and the pies, they tempt me.
Before me is a table set with green beans and lettuce.
I filleth my stomach with liquids
My day's quota runneth over.
Surely calorie and weight charts will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the fear of the scales forever.Something to think about:
"To be jealous of what you see to be good, and to be envious of those who are better than yourself, seems, in the eyes of some people to be a slight and petty wrong; and, being thought trifling and of small account, it is not feared; not being feared, it is contemned; being contemned, it is not easily shunned: and it thus becomes a dark and hidden mischief, which, as it is not perceived so as to be guarded against by the prudent, secretly distresses incautious minds."
"Always set your goals and expectations high. There will come times when you think that you can't push any harder. You can. There will come times when you want to walk away. DON'T. Never lose sight of what you really want to accomplish." ~Dawn StaleyDon't give up 5 minutes before the miracle

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.
--Unknown
To be nobody-but-yourself -- in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else--means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.
--E. E. Cummings
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
--Mark Twain
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."
--Mahatma Gandhi
Motivation is like food for the brain. You cannot get enough in one sitting. It needs continual and regular top ups.
--Peter DaviesIn the Midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you.
--Deepak Chopra
Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great ones make you feel that you too, can become great.
--Mark TwainFrom "Prozac Nation"
"I'm the girl who is lost in space, the girl who is disappearing always, forever fading away and receding farther and farther into the background. Just like the Cheshire cat, someday I will suddenly leave, but the
artificial warmth of my smile, that phony, clownish curve, the kind you see on miserably sad people and villains in Disney movies, will remain behind as an ironic remnant. I am the girl you see in the photograph from some party someplace or some picnic in the park, the one who is in fact soon to be gone. When you look at the picture again, I want to assure you, I will no longer be there. I will be erased from history, like a traitor in the Soviet Union. Because with every day that goes by, I feel myself becoming more and
more invisible..."We are only so unhappy because we insist on believing that the whole reason of life is happiness.
William Blake:
Does a firm persuasion that a thing is so make it so?...all poets believe that it does, and in ages of imagination this firm persuasion removed mountains; but many are not capable of a firm persuasion of any thing.But first the notion that man has a body distinct from his soul, is to be expunged: this i shall do, by printing in the infernal method, by corrosives, which in Hell are salutary and medicinal, melting apparent surfaces away, and displaying the infinite which was hid.
If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is: infinite.
For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things through narrow chinks of his cavern.
From Wasted:
A problem? Yes, eating is definitely a problem. Got to stop eating."In truth, you like the pain...Your ability to withstand pain is your claim to fame. It is ascetic, holy. It is self-control. It is masochism, and masochism pleasurable to many, but we don't like to think about that. We don't like to think that a person could have a twisted autoerotic life going on...experience both at once: the pleasure of beating the hell out of a body shackled at the wrists, and the pleasure of being the body and knowing we deserve each blow.
The absolute truism of eating disorders is that you never believe you are thin enough. Whereas most people set out to lose a few pounds, say 5, 10, 15 - and stop when they get there, the anorectic sets out to lose 10 pounds and then says, well, maybe 15. She loses 15 and says 20, loses the twenty, says 30, loses 30, says 40, loses the 40 and dies. Oops. She hadn't really meant to die. She just wanted to see what would happen. Wanted to see how far she could go. And then couldn't quite bring herself to break her fall.
It does not hit you until later. The fact that you were essentially dead does not register until you begin to come alive. Frostbite does not hurt until it starts to thaw. First it is numb. Then a shock of pain rips through the body. And then, every winter after, it aches.
There is a self-perpetuating belief that one simply cannot help it, and this is very dangerous. It becomes an identity in and of itself. It becomes its own religion, and you wait for salvation, and you wait, and wait, and wait, and do not save yourself. If you saved yourself, and did not wait for salvation, you'd be self-sufficient. How dull.
Its never over. Not really. Not when you've stayed down there as long as I did, not when you've lived in the netherworld longer than you've lived in this material one, where things are very bright and large and make such strange noises. You never come back, not all the way.
For the vast majority of eating disordered people, it is something that will haunt you for the rest of your life. You may change your behavior, change your beliefs about yourself and your body, give up that particular way of coping with the world. You may learn, as I have, that you would rather be a human than a human's thin shell. You may get well. But you never forget.
Eating disorders provide a little private drama, they feed into the desire for constant excitement, everything becomes life-or-death, everything is terribly grand and crashing, very Sturm und Drang. And they are distracting. You don't have to think about any of the nasty minutiae of the real world, you don't get caught up in that awful boring thing called regular life, with its bills and its breakups and its dishes and laundry and groceries and arguments over whose turn it is to change the litter box and bedtimes and bad sex and all that, because you are having a REAL drama, not a sitcom but a GRAND EPIC, all by yourself, and why would you bother with those foolish mortals when you could spend hours and hours with the mirror, when you are having the MOST INTERESTING sado-masochistic affair with your own image?
And so I went through the looking glass, stepped into the netherworld, where up is down and food is greed, where convex mirrors cover the walls, where death is honor and flesh is weak. It is ever so easy to go. Harder to find your way back.
The body is no more than a costume, and can be changed at will. That the change of bodies, like costumes, would make me into a different character, a character who might, finally, be alright.
A disappearing act, the act of becoming invisible, is, in fact, a visible act, and rarely goes unnoticed.
A goal is only as worthy as the effort that's required to achieve it.
What's madness but nobility of soul at odds with circumstance? The day's on fire! I know the purity of despair, my shadow pinned against a sweating wall. That place among the rocks - is it a cave, or a winding path? The edge is what I have."
- Theodore Roethke, "In a Dark TimeIf it hurts, you know what? its probably worth it. You hope, and you dream...
Why should your dreams not be beautiful? Why should you not believe in your
dreams?Sometimes things become possible if we want them enough.
~ T.S. ElliotYou will discover that there will be good days, and there will be bad days.
For you, for me, and for everyone else. You are never alone.Vouloir, c'est pouvoir, n'est-ce pas?
(where there's a will, there's a way, no?)I expected something pathological, but I did not expect the depth, the violence,

~RumiWhen life gives you lemons
...squirt them in its eye, kick it, take its wallet, and run awayThere's a hidden sweetness in the stomach's emptiness.
We are lutes, no more, no less. If the soundbox
is stuffed full of anything, no music.
If the brain and the belly are burning clean
with fasting, every moment a new song comes out of the fire.
The fog clears, and new energy makes you
run up the steps in front of you.
Be emptier and cry like reed instruments cry.
Emptier, write secrets with the reed pen.
When you're full of food and drink, an ugly metal
statue sits where your spirit should. When you fast,
good habits gather like friends who want to help.
Fasting is Solomon's ring. Don't give it
to some illusion and lose your power,
but even if you have, if you've lost all will and control,
they come back when you fast, like soldiers appearing
out of the ground, pennants flying above them.
~Rumi"Wicked Little Town" - from Hedwig
You know, the sun is in your eyes
And hurricanes and rains
and black and cloudy skies.
You're running up and down that hill.
You turn it on and off at will.
There's nothing here to thrill
or bring you down.
And if you've got no other choice
You know you can follow my voice
through the dark turns and noise
of this wicked little town.
Oh, Lady Luck has led you here
and they're so twisted up
they'll twist you up, i fear
the pious, hateful, and devout,
you're turning tricks til you're turned out,
the wind so cold it burns,
you're burning out and blowing round.
And if you've got no other choice,
you know you can follow my voice
through the dark turns and noise
of this wicked little town.
The fates are vicious and they'er cruel.
You learn too late you've used two wishes
like a fool
and then you're someone you are not,
and Junction City aint the spot,
remember mrs Lot
and when she turned around.
And if you've got no other choice
you know you can follow my voice
through the dark turns and noise
of this wicked little town.Forgive me for I did not know
Cuz I was just a boy, and you were so much more
Than any God could ever plan
More than a woman or a man
And now i understand
how much i took from you:
That, when everything starts breaking down,
You take the pieces off the ground
And show this wicked town something beautiful and new
You think that Luck has left you there
But maybe there's nothing up in the sky but air
And there's no mystical design,
no cosmic lover pre-assigned
There's nothing you can find
that cannot be found
Cause with all the changes you've been through
it seems the stranger's always you
alone again in some new wicked little town
So, when you've got no other choice
You know you can follow my voice
Through the dark turns and noise of this wicked little town
Oh, its a wicked little town
Goodbye, wicked little townI do not intend to tiptoe through life just so I can arrive safely at death
