Little things that don't fit anywhere else and aren't enough for their own post. To be added to as I find stuff.

Come out of this alive.

You’re more than

what keeps you up at night.

You’re more than

I creep in my petty pace today
On a stage where I've refused to play
But the curtain went up and I couldn't get away
And the part I play is a palindrome
'Cause I've doubled back and I'm heading home
And I'm wondering if the show will ever come down
Maybe Next Year by Eben Brooks

But yeah, I blame his intelligence, his attention to detail, and his puzzle-solving ability for his need to write things down. He takes in so much, notices so much, and his mind is always working on piecing things together, that he loses half of what crosses his mind because it keeps getting replaced with more data, more thoughts and observations and information.

There is a strength of quiet endurance as significant of courage as the most daring feats of prowess. 

- Henry Theodore Tuckerman, American writer (1813-1871)

*****************************************

I must fling myself down and writhe; I must strive with every piece of force I possess; I bruise and batter myself against the floor, the walls; I strain and sob and exhaust myself, and begin again, and exhaust myself again; but do I feel pain? Never. How can I feel pain? There is no place for it.

- Harry Houdini

*****************************************

My brain is the key that sets me free. No fear! When everything looks like you're not going to be able to get out, you're not going to be able to escape life's challenges, relax, calm down, and let your brain figure your way out.

- Harry Houdini

*****************************************

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

 

- Frank Herbert, Dune
