Quotes About Yearning

Because dead people are just like you and me, they still want things. They look at us all the time, and they miss being alive. We have taste and color and smell and feelings, and they don't have any of those things. They stare at us, they don't miss anything. They really see what's going on, and we hardly ever really see that. We're too busy thinking about things and getting everything wrong, so we miss ninety percent of what's happening.
~ Peter Straub

Marksizmin ilmini sevmez, fakat ruhunu severdi. Asla gerçekle?miyece?ini bildi?i büyük emellerinden biri de bu ruhu o ilmihalden kurtarmakt?: Bir sat?r?n? yazmad??? ne eserler tasarlam??t?.

In everyone there sleeps A sense of life lived according to love. To some it means the difference they could make By loving others, but across most it sweeps As all they might have done had they been loved. That nothing cures.

Archie Burnett (Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 2012)
