#whimsy

"You must not ever stop being whimsical. And you must not, ever, give anyone else the responsibility for your life."

"There's no backward and no forward, no day other than this. You fill your cart as you go, and that's that."

"I made a sorry face in response to such strong insistence, but I couldn’t believe him. Fantasies were exactly that..…..fantasies. Whimsy. Wishes. Mere castles in the sky without foundation or substance. Dreams didn’t come true. To believe so would be to believe falsely, to surrender to madness, to give in to an unreliable hope that would crush me once again as it always, always did!"
