Every minute you are thinking of evil, you might have been thinking of good instead. Refuse to pander to a morbid interest in your own misdeeds. Pick yourself up, be sorry, shake yourself, and go on again.

Evelyn Underhill

Kurt Vonnegut

To write a good love letter, you ought to begin without knowing what you mean to say, and to finish without knowing what you have written.
