Everything was changing, unrecognizable, pushing me out. This was as it should be, since I had moved up and no longer had any place here. But it was painful, and I longed all the more to be on my way.... I desired with all my heart that it were the next morning and a plane were lifting me off the ground.

Hm! You see the family I got! Spend my life teaching my children to be decent, teaching them what is important, and then they forget who it was that got them where they are.

Merle Hodge

Quote of the day

One of the first signs of the beginnings of understanding is the wish to die. This life appears unbearable, another unattainable. One is no longer ashamed of wanting to die; one asks to be moved from the old cell, which one hates, to a new one, which one will only in time come to hate.
Franz Kafka
