"to dislike what makes a person human is to dislike all humans, or at least other people who can’t work clocks. you have to love the whole person, if you are truly in love. if you are going to take a lifelong journey with somebody, you can’t mind if the other person believes they are leaving for that journey an hour earlier than you, as long as truly, in the real world, you are both leaving at exactly the same time."
for you (but really for me, too)
aseaofquotes:

Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
"What most people call loving consists of picking out a woman and marrying her. They pick her out, I swear, I’ve seen them. As if you could pick in love, as if it were not a lightning bolt that splits your bones and leaves you staked out in the middle of the courtyard. They probably say that they pick her out because-they-love-her, I think it’s just the siteoppo. Beatrice wasn’t picked out, Juliet wasn’t picked out. You don’t pick out the rain that soaks you to a skin when you come out of a concert."
Julio Cortázar

We are learning how to be a horse from a real horse because our mean queen said she wants to ride us like a horse.  She asked us to practice to be a horse, therefore we are practicing.  However, today is the April Fools Day, so I wonder it was a joke.

I’m teaching the cat how to dance.  I have taught it by words in the beginning, but it didn’t go well.  I changed my teaching method.  I’m going to dance with him until he memorize it.
"Then sigh not so, but let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into hey nonny, nonny."
William Shakespeare, from “Sigh No More” in Much Ado About Nothing (via the-final-sentence)
