Patience; kindness; generosity; humility; courtesy; unselfishness; good temper; guilelessness; sincerity-- these make up the supreme gift; the staure of a perfect man. you will observe that all are in relation to men, in relation to life, in relation to the known today and the near tomorrow, and not to the unknown eternity. We hear much of love to God; Christ spoke much of love to man. We make a great deal of peace with Heaven; Christ made much of peace on earth. Religion is not a strange... Continue reading ...

The question is not yet settled, whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence-- whether much that is glorious-- whter all that is profound-- does not spring from disease of thought-- from moods of mind exalted at the expense of general intellect. They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. In their gray visions they obtain visions of eternity, and thrill, in awakening, to find that they have been on the verge of the great secret. ... Continue reading ...

"[Telling stories] is important," the man in they grey suit interrupts. "Someone needs to tell those tales. When the battles are fought and won and lost, when the pirates find their treasures and the dragons eat their foes for breakfast with a nice cup of Lapsang souchong, someone needs to tell their bits of overlapping narrative. There's a magic in that. It's in the listener, and for each and every ear it will be different, and it will affect them in ways they can never predict. From the mun... Continue reading ...

"Stories have changed, my dear boy," the man in the grey suit says, his voice almost imperceptibly sad. "There are no more battles between good and evil, no monsters to slay, no maidens in need of rescue. Most maidens are perfectly capable of rescuing themselves in my experience, at least the ones worth something, in any case. There are no longer simple tales with quests and beasts and happy endings. The quests lack clarity of goal or path. The beasts take different forms and are difficult to... Continue reading ...

“In love, as in life, one misheard word can be tremendously important. If you tell someone you love them, for instance, you must be absolutely certain that they have replied "I love you back" and not "I love your back" before you continue the conversation.” Continue reading ...

“It is a curious thing, but as one travels the world getting older and older, it appears that happiness is easier to get used to than despair. The second time you have a root beer float, for instance, your happiness at sipping the delicious concoction may not be quite as enormous as when you first had a root beer float, and the twelfth time your happiness may be still less enormous, until root beer floats begin to offer you very little happiness at all, because you have become used to the t...

I will love you as a drawer loves a secret compartment, and as a secret compartment loves a secret, and as a secret loves to make a person gasp, and as a gasping person loves a glass of brandy to calm their nerves, and as a glass of brandy loves to shatter on the floor, and as the sound of glass shattering loves to make everyone else gasp, and as someone gasping loves a nearby desk to lean against, even if leaning against it presses a lever that loves to open a drawer and reveal a secret comp...

I will love you as the iceberg loves the ship, and as the passengers love the lifeboat and as the lifeboat loves the teeth of the sperm whale, and the sperm whal... Continue reading ...

Everyone, at some point in their lives, wakes up with the feeling that they are all alone in the world, and that nobody loves them and that nobody will ever love them, and that they will never have a decent night's sleep again and will spend their lives wandering blearily around a loveless landscape, hoping desperately that their circumstances will improve, but suspecting, in their heart of hearts, that they will remain unloved forever. The best thing to do in these circumstances is to wake s... Continue reading ...
