The Prompts:
1. To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget. -Arundhati Roy
2. You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star. -Friedrich Nietzsche
3. The hardest thing about the road not taken is that you never know where it might have led. -From A Month of Summer by Lisa Wingate
4. It's a way of living with a tragedy, I guess, to claim after it happens that you saw it coming, as if somehow you had already made the necessary adjustments beforehand. -From The Sweet Hereafter by Russell Banks
5. To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all. -Oscar Wilde
6. The only unit of time that matters is heartbeats. Even if the world were totally silent, even in a dark room covered in five layers of foam, you'd be able to count your own heartbeats. -Paul Ford
7. Stories never really end...even if the books like to pretend they do. Stories always go on. They don't end on the last page, any more than they begin on the first page. -Cornelia Funke
8. Memories are what warm you up from the inside. But they're also what tear you apart. -Haruki Murakami
9. But it seemed to me that this was the way we all lived: full to the brim with gratitude and joy one day, wrecked on the rocks the next. Finding the balance between the two was the art and the salvation. -From "The Years of Pleasures" by Elizabeth Berg
10. If I'd been someone else in a different world, I'd've done something different, but I was myself, and the world was the world, so I was silent. -From Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer
