Nothing could make me forget the mad nostalgic woman in me that came into existence at night.
Even after a wild night out, I would read poems to my drunk self.

Kurt Vonnegut for the Signs

Aries: "People aren’t supposed to look back. I’m certainly not going to do it anymore."
Taurus: "It’s the emptiest and yet the fullest of all human messages: ‘Good-bye.'"
Gemini: "Everything is nothing, with a twist."
Cancer: "Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt."
Leo: "If we are not sad when we part, we must have done something lovely."
Virgo: "I couldn’t help wondering if that was what God put me on Earth for - to find out how much a person could take without breaking."
Libra: "Many people need desperately to receive this message: I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone."
Scorpio: "I am better now. Word of honor: I am better now."
Sagittarius: "To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it."
Capricorn: "All moments, past, present and future, always have existed, always will exist."
Aquarius: "Of course it is exhausting, having to reason all the time in a universe which wasn’t meant to be reasonable."
Pisces: "The purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved."
