...a heaven where some screams have gone?

"Do you think there's a heaven where some screams have gone?" -Unknown

What is a ghost?...

"What is a ghost? A tragedy condemned to repeat itself time and again? An instant of pain, perhaps. Something dead which still seems to be alive. An emotion suspended in time. Like a blurred photograph. Like an insect trapped in amber." -The Devil's Backbone (movie)

...must always be drunk...

"If you ever have children, tell them they must always be drunk. Drunk on love, drunk on poetry, drunk on wine, it doesn't matter. This world is too goddamn painful to waste a second of your existence sober." -Benjamin Hale; The Evolution of Bruno Littlemore

...Beautiful people do not just happen.

"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen." -Elizabeth Kubler Ros

...banged up, mentally and emotionally...

What if you allowed your God...

"What if you allowed your God to exist in the simple words of compassion others offer to you? What if faith is the way it feels to lay your hand on your daughter’s sacred body? What if the greatest beauty of the day is the shaft of sunlight through your window? What if the worst thing happened and you rose anyway? What if you trusted in the human scale? What if you listened harder to the story of the man on the cross who found a way to endure his suffering than to the one about the impossible magic of the Messiah? Would you see the miracle in that?" -Sugar; Dear Sugar

If love was a choice...

"If love was a choice, who would ever choose such exquisite pain?" -AnkaraStark

I had a dream...

"I had a dream, had a drowning dream I was in a river of pain. Only difference is this time I wasn't calling out your name..." -Natalie Imbruglia
