HAZE OF THE WINE
❝ Doubt your doubts before you doubt your beliefs. ❞
❝ The great and glorious masterpiece of man is how to live with a purpose. ❞
- Montaigne
❝ I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you’ve decided to show me the same
But no sweet, vain exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind ❞
❝ Reality is only an illusion that occurs due to a lack of wine ❞
- My roommate came home today with a wall fixture containing this quote. Definitely made the right roommate choice.
❝ Every once in a while, people step up. They rise above themselves. Sometimes they surprise you. sometimes they fall short. Life is funny sometimes; it can push pretty hard. But if you look close enough, you can find help: in the words of children, in the bars of a song, in the eyes of someone you love. And if you’re lucky, if you’re the luckiest person on this entire planet, the person you love decides to love you back. ❞
❝ People experience their present naively, as it were, without being able to form an estimate of its contents; they have first to put themselves at a distance from it - the present, that is to say, must have become the past - before it can yield points of vantage from which to judge the future. ❞
- “The Future of an Illusion” - Freud
❝ You can ask the universe for signs all you want, but ultimately we only see what we want to see when we’re ready to see it. ❞
❝ What you want, you run away from. What you need, you don’t have a clue. What you’ve accomplished, makes you proud. But you’re still miserable. ❞
- Dr. Gregory House - Season 4, Episode 13 “No more mister nice guy”
❝ You may think your only choices are to swallow your anger or to throw it in someone’s face. There’s a third option, you can just let it go. And only when you do that it is really gone, and you can move forward. ❞
❝ “Sometimes you think you’re living out one story, but the truth turns out to be something else entirely.”
