“Here is the world. It is not a safe place, but however frightening and bewildering life may become, we can survive our fears, grab them by the wolf ’s tail as Peter did, and make peace with the world.”
— ― Terry Tempest Williams, When Women Were Birds: Fifty-four Variations on Voice

"And if you go chasing rabbits, And you know you're going to fall, Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar, Has given you the call... Call Alice, When she was just small, When the men on the chessboard Get up and tell you where to go, And you've just had some kind of mushroom, And your mind is moving low, Go ask Alice, I think she'll know "- Jefferson Airplane { The White Rabbit }

"The Barbar the Elephant book is sitting in front of me. I pick it up and start reading it. I remember reading it as a small Boy and enjoying it and imagining that I was friends with Babar, his constant Companion during all of his adventures. He went to the moon, I went with him. He fought Tomb Raiders in Egypt, I fought alongside him. He rescued his Elephant girlfriend from Ivory Hunters on the Savanna, I coordinated the gateway. I loved that goddamn Elephant and I loved being his friend. In a childhood full of unhappiness and rage. Barbar is one of the few pleasant memories that I have. Me and Barbar, kicking some motherfukcking ass." - James Frey
