over numbers, unencumbered, numbered words
hundreds of pages, pages, pages forwards
more words than i had ever heard
and i feel so alive
yes yes yes.

other people's words
"Do not be afraid!
Open the doors to Christ
God works in the concrete and personal affairs of each one of us
Don't let the time that the Lord gives you run on as if everything were due to chance.
With this expression of my hope I send you all, from the depths of my heart, my blessing."
-- Pope John Paul II
"Everyone has a free-verse poem written inside of them."
-- Glenn Lee
"Every once in a while you'll find someone iridescent, and when you do, nothing will ever compare."
-- Wendelin van Draanen, Flipped
"This was the start of a period that blurs as I try to recall it. Incidents seem to cascade and merge. Events become feelings, feelings become events. Head and heart are contrary historians."
-- Jerry Spinelli, Stargirl
"That night I met you I wrote: it is possible I have imagined my entire life."
-- Sarah Manguso, Address to an Absent Lover
"We do not obtain the most precious gifts by going in search of them but by waiting for them."
-- Simone Weil
"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'"
- Jack Kerouac, On the Road
"kisses are a better fate than wisdom"
- e.e. cummings

"I never need to find time to read. When people say to me, ‘Oh, yeah, I love reading. I would love to read, but I just don’t have time,’ I’m thinking, ‘How can you not have time?’ I read when I’m drying my hair. I read in the bath. I read when I’m sitting in the bathroom. Pretty much anywhere I can do the job one-handed, I read."
-- J.K. Rowling
