November Themes
Since I didn't hear back, have a pinch hit. Note there's an amnesty on the first theme since it was posted so late, so if you didn't get time to finish it and want to, go ahead and post even if it's late.
1) The body lives in present tense
2) My indifference to the world grew vast.
3) One day a shoulder bone scything up from the depths, another day a little jutting heel
4) the secret language of hate
5) Memory believes before knowing remembers
6) Fumbled the petals of roses
7) A stick run along the palings of a fence
8) In literature, as well as love, we are astonished at what is chosen in others.
9) Truth is tough
10) The most dangerous food is wedding cake.
11) An improbable fiction
12) The past is never dead. It's not even past.
13) The past is just a bridge we burned down behind us
14) You can rely on me. I will always let you down.
15) I was in the middle of the sweetest, quietest romance
16) One of the most time consuming things is to have an enemy
17) I am seeing. I am striving. I am in it with all my heart.
18) The way to know life is to love many things.
19) Normality is a paved road, its comfortable to walk. But no flowers grow on it.
20) I would rather die of passion than of boredom.
21) I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day.
22) Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.
23) Love many things, for there lies the true strength, and whosever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.
24) One must work and dare if one really wants to live.
25) Regrets collect like old friends
26) I should have kissed you by the water
27) I kept your tie
28) Your heart is the only place that I call home,
29) Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back
30) You said "it's just like a full moon."
1) The body has no imagination; this is why you never take a jumper with you on a warm day, just in case. The body has no memory, which is why sex is always such a surprise. The body lives in present tense. The body makes a fool out of you, every time. Making Babies by Anne Enright.
2, 3, 15 Making Babies by Anne Enright
Sugar made the child jump, as well as hunger. Music made it stop, a listening stillness. I began to time my digestion: ten minutes after chocolate, a kick; fifteen minutes after pasta; half an hour after meat. I was bounced awake at five every morning and got up for a bowl of cereal -- already feeding this little tyrant, getting in training for the real event. Early afternoon was a cancan, also nine o/clock at night.
4) On Writing, Eudora Welty
5) Light in August, Faulkner
6) To The Lighthouse, Virginia Woolf
7) The Sound and the Fury, Faulkner
8) Andre Maurois
9)Oliver Wendell Holms

17-24 – Van Gogh quotes
25) Shake It Out, Florence + The Machine
