“"Life is a shiver that flies away / it's all a balance on madness"
(from Sally, 1996)”

“My life flies away like a dream:
Why should I stay behind?”

“If my life teaches the public that men are made mad by bad treatment, and if the police are taught that they may not exasperate to madness men they persecute and illtreat, my life will not be entirely thrown away.”

“Turn away. From the darkness, the madness, the pain. Open your eyes and look at the light.”

“The ingredients of both darkness and light are equally present in all of us,… The madness of this planet is largely a result of the human being's difficulty in coming to viruous balance with himself.”

“If we were always here and now,
electric shiver in the spine,
how could we turn away, see life as grey and drab?
How come we don't see what we have?”

“All your life, other people will try to take your accomplishments away from you. Don't you take it away from yourself.”

“Life, love, boys—it was all about balance.
~Anna Percy”

“i keep drinking the ink from my pen
and i'm balancing history books up on my head
but it all boils down to one quotable phrase
if you love something give it away”

“Life carries on
In the people I meet
In everyone that’s out on the street
In all the dogs and cats
In the flies and rats
In the rot and the rust
In the ashes and the dust
Life carries on and on and on and on.”
