Favorite Josephine Hart Quotes

1. "The miraculous intimacy we shared did not have the time to generate into resentful emotional bondage" ~ Josephine Hart
2. "We are here to add to the sum of human goodness. To prove the thing exists." ~ Josephine Hart
3. "When we mourn those who die young – those who have been robbed of time – we weep for lost joys. We weep for opportunities and pleasure we ourselves have never known. We feel sure that somehow that young body would have known the yearning delight for which we searched in vain all our lives. We believe that the untried soul, trapped in its young prison, might have flown free and known the joy that we still seek." ~ Josephine Hart

7. "There is an internal landscape, a geography of the soul; we search for its outlines all our lives. Those who are lucky enough to find it ease like water over a stone, onto its fluid contours, and are home. Some find it in the place of their birth; others may leave a seaside town, parched, and find themselves refreshed in the desert. There are those born in rolling countryside who are really only at ease in the intense and busy loneliness of the city. For some, the search is for the imprint of another; a child or a mother, a grandfather or a brother, a lover, a husband, a wife, or a foe. We may go through our lives happy or unhappy, successful or unfulfilled, loved or unloved, without ever standing cold with the shock of recognition, without ever feeling the agony as the twisted iron in our soul unlocks itself and we slip at last into place." ~ Josephine Hart
8. "Memory is never pure. And recollection is always coloured by the life lived since" ~ Josephine Hart
9. "..I always recognize the foces that will shape my life. I let them do their work. Sometimes they tear through my life like a hurricane. Sometimes they simply shift the ground under me, so that I stand on different earth, and something or someone has been swallowed up. I steady myself, in the earthquate. I lie down, and let the hurricane pass over me. I never fight. Afterwards I look around me, and I say, 'Ah, so this at least is left for me. And that dear person has also survived.' I quietly inscribe on the stone tablet of my heart the name which has gone forever. Th inscription is a thing of agony. Then I start on my way again." ~ Josephine Hart
10. "Those who do not have imaginary conversations do not love." ~ Josephine Hart
11. "There was a full moon in the starless sky. I thought how rarely I had noticed such things. Some deep failure of the soul perhaps. An inherited emptiness. A nothingness passed from generation to generation. A flaw in the psyche, discovered only by those who suffer by it." ~ Josephine Hart
12. "We learn from tragedy. Slowly." ~ Josephine Hart
13. "All damaged people are dangerous. Survival makes them so.' 'Why?' 'Because they have no pity. They know what others can survive, as they did." ~ Josephine Hart
14. "For why trap what is already trapped? It is only in flight that we know the freedom of the bird" ~ Josephine Hart
