What people must realize is they’re not just one single person who does weird, out-of-character things now and then. We’re all made up of many different selves who fight and compete with one another constantly. Somehow we’ve got to get them to agree on a few basic things. Get them to stop fighting with one another. But they all have different needs. One part of us wants safety, another wants adventure. I want to be loved. I want to be left alone…Those aren’t contradictions-they’re independent selves saying ‘I want this!‘ The trick is how to get them to agree on anything we do in life. -Jonathan Carroll

I am tired of trying to hold things together that cannot be held. Trying to control what cannot be controlled. I am tired of denying myself what I want for fear of breaking things I cannot fix. They will break no matter what we do.

The rain started while we sat in the kitchen, and we left the kitchen door open so we could watch the rain slanting past the doorway and washing the garden; Constance was pleased, the way any good gardener is pleased with rain.

“Dons yelling ‘fascist’, at high table, at colleagues who in mild voices venture to disagree with them. What a rot & stink is left by liberalism devoid of religion!… Do you wonder that anyone who can get us out of this island? Though soon there will be nowhere to go to escape…”

J.R.R. Tolkien, letter to Michael Tolkien, 6th November 1956
