Pieces of me
...but all for you.
Take 1 part Aussie and 1 part Yank, mix liberally for 3 years in London, strain over crushed ice into a Salt Lake rimmed glass.
Enjoy responsibly.
We, each of us, are responsible...
“When we’re incomplete, we’re always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we’re still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on—series polygamy—until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.”
~ Tom Robbins
Spellbound
“To him she seemed so beautiful, so seductive, so different from ordinary people, that he could not understand why no one was as disturbed as he by the clicking of her heels on the paving stones, why no one else’s heart was wild with the breeze stirred by the sighs of her veils, why everyone did not go mad with the movements of her braid, the flight of her hands, the gold of her laughter. He had not missed a single one of her gestures, not one of the indications of her character, but he did not dare approach her for fear of destroying the spell.” - Gabriel García Márquez, Love in the Time of Cholera
I love you...
“He knew that I love you also means I love you more than anyone loves you, or has loved you, or will love you, and also I love you in a way that no one loves you, or has loved you, or will love you, and also I love you in a way that I love no one else, and never have loved anyone else, and never will love anyone else. He knew that it is, by love’s definition, impossible to love two people.” - Everything is Illuminated (Jonathan Safran Foer
Absolute Power
“Words are sacred. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little….”

Help
“It’s not a question of love or affection. I can give those and I can take them. I feel pain like anyone else. I need to touch and be touched. But if someone asks me, “Are you all right?” I can’t answer no. I can’t say help me.” ~Stephen King (Bag of Bones)
Above all things
“And above all things, never think that you’re not good enough yourself. A man should never think that. My belief is that in life people will take you at your own reckoning.”
~Isaac Asimov
Your work is not you
“The idea that you might end up in a job that doesn’t allow you to be who you are, over the course of a lifetime, is still one of the most chilling nightmares to me. It’s a good metaphor for fears I have about losing my soul in some accidental, mundane way. So, to me, these jobs that my characters have are very loaded. They immediately suggest a complex character to me, a woman who is, say, a secretary, but also a vigilante on behalf of her own soul.” ~Miranda July
