“You get old and you realize there are no answers, just stories.”

“To truly listen for intuition means to listen with all of your senses. You may hear the answer, or see the answer. You may just "know" the answer. You may get a physical sensation such as a chill or hot flash or feel the answer emotionally.”

Teal Swan (1984) American spiritual teacher

“People don’t realize how easy life is to change. You just get on the bus.”

“Finding the right form for your story is simply to realize the most natural way of telling the story. The test of whether or not a writer has divined the natural shape of his story is just this: after reading it, can you imagine it differently, or does it silence your imagination and seem to you absolute and final? As an orange is final. As an orange is something nature has made just right.”

Truman Capote (1924–1984) American author

“The older you get, the better you realize you were.”
