"I certainly wasn't happy. Happiness has to do with reason, and only reason earns it. What I was given was the thing you can't earn, and can't keep, and often don't even recognize at the time; I mean joy." - Ursula LeGuin |
Every parting is a form of death, as every Reunion is a type of heaven.
~Tryon Edwards |

if it looks like a duck
walks like a duck and quacks like a duck....... she's a whore |
The past, -- well, it's just like
our Great-Aunt Laura, who cannot or will not perceive that though she is welcome, and though we adore her, yet now it is time to leave. -Piet Hein, poet and scientist (1905-1996) |
The worst solitude is to be destitute of sincere friendship.
~Francis Bacon |
Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.
~Muhammad Ali |
“We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love.”
-Tom Robbins |
It is discouraging to try to penetrate a mind like yours. You ought to get it out and dance on it. That would take some of the rigidity out of it. ~Mark Twain

"Adversity is like a strong wind. It tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that we see ourselves as we really are." Arthur Golden

If you want to be happy, be where you are celebrated....not where you're tolerated.
(my boss actually said this today, but it makes sense to me in relationships too...not just work) |
"After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul, And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company, doesn't mean security, And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises, And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child, And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow is too uncertain for plans. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure,that you really are strong, and you really do have worth, and you learn and learn, with every goodbye you learn." ~Veronica Shoffstall~ |
THIS moment yearning and thoughtful, sitting alone,
It seems to me there are other men in other lands, yearning and thoughtful; It seems to me I can look over and behold them, in Germany, Italy, France, Spain—or far, far away, in China, or in Russia or India—talking other dialects; And it seems to me if I could know those men, I should become attached to them, as I do to men in my own lands; O I know we should be brethren and lovers, I know I should be happy with them. - Walt Whitman |

“I want to do to you what spring does with the cherry trees.” - Pablo Neruda |
“Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained.” - Marie Curie |
"When you do the common things in life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world." - George Washington Carver |
It's amazing how someone can break your heart so bad, yet you still love them with all the little pieces.

"You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes." - Winnie the Pooh

Some people are like slinkies:
not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs. (no clue where it's from!) |
“Love is not consolation. It is light.” -- Nietzsche

"Whenever I go on a trip, I think about all the homes I've had & I remember how little has changed about what comforts me." ~ Brian Andreas, "Storypeople"
