{"quotes":[{"text":"If you have a past with which you feel dissatisfied, then forget it, now. Imagine a new story for your life and believe in it. Focus only on the moments when you achieved what you desired, and that strength will help you to get what you want.","author":"Paulo Coelho","tags":["dissatisfied","forget","past","strength"],"id":54926,"author_id":"Paulo+Coelho"},{"text":"At any other time it's better. You can do the things you feel you should; you're an expert at going through the motions. Your handshakes with strangers are firm and your gaze never wavers; you think of steel and diamonds when you stare. In monotone you repeat the legendary words of long-dead lovers to those you claim to love; you take them into bed with you, and you mimic the rhythmic motions you've read of in manuals. When protocol demands it you dutifully drop to your knees and pray to a god who no longer exists. But in this hour you must admit to yourself that this is not enough, that you are not good enough. And when you knock your fist against your chest you hear a hollow ringing echo, and all your thoughts are accompanied by the ticks of clockwork spinning behind your eyes, and everything you eat and drink has the aftertaste of rust.","author":"Dexter Palmer","tags":["depression","dexter-palmer","dissatisfied","faking-it","godless","going-through-the-motions","meaningless","modern-society","not-good-enough","the-dream-of-perpetual-motion"],"id":113936,"author_id":"Dexter+Palmer"},{"text":"...Loving a fairy lady with a magic song will leave you desolate on a cold hillside ...
