AND ONE DAY SHE
DISCOVERED THAT
SHE WAS FIERCE,
AND STRONG,
AND FULL OF FIRE,
AND THAT NOT EVEN
SHE COULD HOLD
HERSELF BACK
BECAUSE HER
PASSION BURNED
BRIGHTER THAN
HER FEARS.

Never be a
prisoner of your past.
It was just a
lesson, not
a life sentence.

YOU COULD NEVER HURT ANOTHER."

Buddha

How cool is it that
the same God who
created mountains and oceans and galaxies
looked at you and
thought the world needed
one of you, too.

People who
repeatedly attack
your confidence
and self-esteem
are quite aware of
your potential,
even if you are not.

and he loved
her
but it wasn't
that simple.

“To refuse a hearing to an opinion, because they are sure that it is false, is to assume that their certainty is the same thing as absolute certainty. All silencing of discussion is an assumption of infallibility.” — John Stuart Mill

"I remember one time I tried to pity this fool. He told me his name was Jeff. He was married. He pulled out his wallet and showed me three pictures of his kids; Kelly, Robert, Brittany. Real cute kids. Don't get too close man. It's hard to pity a fool if you get too close." - Mr. T

It is a bigger miracle to be
Patient and refrain from anger
Than it is to control the demons
Which fly through the air.

"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride. I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close."

Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets

"There is never a time or place for true love.
It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat,
in a single flashing, throbbing moment."

Marriage is like a game of cards.
You begin with
Two hearts and a diamond.
Overtime you wish you had
A club and a spade.

"It’s dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. I was so preposterously serious in those days… Lightly, lightly – it’s the best advice ever given me…So throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly.”
- Aldous Huxley

When the Power of Love
Will replace the Love of Power.
Then will our world know
The blessings of Peace.

Oliver Wendell Holmes attended a meeting
In which he was the shortest man present.

Dr. Holmes, quipped a friend, I should think you'd feel rather small
Among us big fellows.

I do, retorted Holmes. I feel like a dime among a lot of pennies.

Beauty without Grace
