Sometimes I feel

Sometimes I feel there is a hole inside of me, an emptiness that at times seems to burn. I think if you lifted my heart to your ear you could probably hear the ocean. Heh. The moon tonight, there's a circle around it, a sign of trouble not far behind. I have this dream of being whole. I'm not going to sleep each night wanting... but sometimes when the wind is warm or the crickets sing, I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for. I just want someone to love me. I want to be seen. I don't know; maybe I've had my happiness. I don't want to belive it, but there is no man, Gilly, only that moon…

Being normal

Being normal is not necassarily a virtue, It rather denotes a lack of courage.

~from Practical Magic

And this is what comes

And this is what comes from dabbling; I mean you can’t practice witchcraft while you look down your nose at it.

~Practical Magic, the movie.

Always throw

Always throw spilled salt over your left shoulder, keep rosemary by your garden gate, plant lavender for luck, and fall in love whenever you can.

~Practical Magic, the movie.

Do you ever

Do you ever put your arms out and spin and spin and spin? Well that’s what love feels like.

~Practical Magic, the movie.

Don't die on me

Don’t die on me Gilly please, ’cause we’re supposed to die together remember, at the same time, you promised me that and this is not that day!

~Practical Magic, the movie

You cannot

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.

~ Abraham Lincoln

I'm not so good with advice

"I'm not so good with advice...can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?"

If I cannot give

"If I cannot give consent to my own death, then whose body is this? Who owns my life?"
