Quote of the day

The vain attempt to see with the eyes of every other man would only prevent us from seeing with our own.


~ William Goodell,

In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light,
and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness.
Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth.

Mahatma Gandhi


{K / J}

 
When you think things are bad,
when you feel sour and blue,
when you start to get mad...
you should do what I do!

Just tell yourself, Duckie,
you're really quite lucky!
Some people are much more...
oh, ever so much more...
oh, muchly much-much more
unlucky than you!

Dr. Seuss

{Him & her}

 
Truly to enjoy bodily warmth, some small part of you must be cold, for there is no quality in this world that is not what it is merely by contrast. Nothing exists in itself. If you flatter yourself that you are all over comfortable, and have been so a long time, then you cannot be said to be comfortable any more.

Herman Mellville

We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once.
And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.

Friedrich Nietzsche

For me, to love is to live;
I feel this, I see it more than ever now;
all things prove it to me;
I recognize that never again can any taste, any absorption of mind, any passion exist for me but that you know of,
-- which fills not only my heart, but my whole brain.

Honoré de Balzac


{The zigzags.}


 


We conceal it from ourselves in vain - we must always love something. In those matters seemingly removed from love, the feeling is secretly to be found, and man cannot possibly live for a moment without it.


Blaise Pascal


The Zags
 
Happiness is a perfume
which you cannot pour on someone
without getting some on yourself.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Absence is to love what wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small, it enkindles the great.

If I am what I have and if I lose what I have who then am I?

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart)
i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear;
and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)
i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)



- e. e. cummings, i carry your heart with me
