Love

“My dear,

Find what you love and let it kill you.

Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness.

Let it kill you and let it devour your remains.

For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover.

~ Falsely yours”

― Charles Bukowski

Anatidaephobia

Anatidaephobia – the fictional fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you. From Gary Larson's The Far Side

Sign

Because maybe its dumb to look for signs from the universe..maybe the universe has better things to do. Dear God, I hope it does. Do you know how many signs I've gotten that I should or shouldn't be with someone..and where has it gotten me? Maybe there aren't any signs. Maybe a locket's just a locket..a chair is just a chair. Maybe we don't have to give meaning to every little thing. Maybe we don't need the universe to tell us what we really want. Maybe we already know that..deep down.

-Ted, How I Met Your Mother

Summer afternoon

Summer afternoon—summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.

-Henry James

wonder

"Do you think I'm wonderful? She asked him one day as they leaned against the trunk of a petrified maple. No, he said. Why? Because so many girls are wonderful. I imagine hundreds of men have called their loves wonderful today, it's only noon. You couldn't be something that hundreds of others are."

— Jonathan Safran Foer (Everything Is Illuminated)

TEA

"Take some more tea," the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.

"I've had nothing yet," Alice replied in an offended tone, "so I can't take more."

"You mean you can't take less," said the Hatter: "it's very easy to take more than nothing."

-Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland.

OWL

Literally, an "owl". Idiomatically, a vitriolic insult generally indicative of a fair amount of spite, and scant respect. Not to be used lightly, except between good friends.

Usage:(A, driving car, gets severely cut off by B, driving autorickshaw)

A: Hui!! Gubé!

B: (sticks tongue out and points with upturned flat hand, taking no responsibility whatsoever for the transgression)

Brain juice

“How can a three-pound mass of jelly that you can hold in your palm imagine angels, contemplate the meaning of infinity, and even question its own place in the cosmos? Especially awe inspiring is the fact that any single brain, including yours, is made up of atoms that were forged in the hearts of countless, far-flung stars billions of years ago. These particles drifted for eons and light-years until gravity and change brought them together here, now. These atoms now form a conglomerate- your brain- that can not only ponder the very stars that gave it birth but can also think about its own ability to think and wonder about its own ability to wonder. With the arrival of humans, it has been said, the universe has suddenly become conscious of itself. This, truly, it the greatest mystery of all.”

― V.S. Ramachandran
