"It is also good to love: because love is difficult. For one human being to love another human being: that is perhaps the most difficult task that has been entrusted to us, the ultimate task, the final test and proof, the work for which all other work is merely preparation."
Excerpt from Letters to a Young Poet |
Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have
- Eckhart Tolle |
"To create more positive results in your life, replace 'if only' with 'next time'."

"I am grateful to small-minded bigots who constantly make me re-evaluate my faith in the inherent worth and dignity of every person, for untested beliefs are not worth having." -- The Reverend Dr. Michael Tino, Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Northern Westchester, NY

“Have you ever been lost in a kiss? I mean pure inebriation. When you became aware that the greatness of this being, was breathing into you. The essence of your passionate being opened by the same mouth and delivered back to you, over and over again - the memory to last the rest of your life. A kiss that confirms that the universe is aligned, that the world's greatest resource is love, and maybe even that God is a woman. Timeless, eternal, spiritual.― Saul Williams
“Love takes off the masks we fear we cannot live without .― James Baldwin “I love you, he thought, looking at her. I love every part of you, every thought and word...the entire complex, fascinating bundle of all the things you are. I want you with ten different kinds of need at once. I love all the seasons of you, the way you are now, the thought of how much more beautiful you'll be in the decades to come. I love you for being the answer to every question my heart could ask.”― Lisa Kleypas |
"A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort."
~Herm Albright "Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits. Watch your habits, for they become character. Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny." ~Unknown |
“I hunger for your sleek laugh and your hands the color of a furious harvest. I want to eat the sunbeams flaring in your beauty.”
― Pablo Neruda |
"There is hardly a more gracious gift that we can offer somebody than to accept them fully, to love them almost despite themselves." -Elizabeth Gilbert

“Gender is the poetry each of us makes out of the language we are taught.”
― Leslie Feinberg |
“Let me tell you this: if you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it's not because they enjoy solitude. It's because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them.”
― Jodi Picoult, My Sister's Keeper The most terrible poverty is loneliness, and the feeling of being unloved.” ― Mother Teresa “God, but life is loneliness, despite all the opiates, despite the shrill tinsel gaiety of "parties" with no purpose, despite the false grinning faces we all wear. And when at last you find someone to whom you feel you can pour out your soul, you stop in shock at the words you utter - they are so rusty, so ugly, so meaningless and feeble from being kept in the small cramped dark inside you so long. Yes, there is joy, fulfillment and companionship - but the loneliness of the soul in its appalling self-consciousness is horrible and overpowering.” ― Sylvia Plath “sex is the consolation you have when you can't have love” ― Gabriel García Márquez |
I'm not a smart man, but I know what love is. Forrest Gump

We need to let go as easily as we grasp, and we will find our hands full and our minds empty.
~Leo Buscaglia |
You have to go to considerable trouble to live differently from the way the world wants you to live. That’s what I’ve discovered about writing. The world doesn’t want you to do a damn thing. If you wait till you got time to write a novel or time to write a story or time to read the hundred thousands of books you should have already read--if you wait for the time, you’ll never do it. Cause there ain’t no time; world don’t want you to do that. World wants you to go to the zoo and eat cotton candy, preferably seven days a week.
Harry Crews, 1935-2012 |
"The wise don't expect to find life worth living; they make it that way."

"I believe in love and lust and sex and romance. I don't want everything to add up to some perfect equation. I want mess and chaos. I want someone to go crazy out of his mind for me. I want to feel passion and heat and sweat and madness. I want valentines and cupids and all of that crap. I WANT IT ALL"
— Barbra Streisand |
If You Forget Me by Pablo Neruda
I want you to know one thing. You know how this is: if I look at the crystal moon, at the red branch of the slow autumn at my window, if I touch near the fire the impalpable ash or the wrinkled body of the log, everything carries me to you, as if everything that exists, aromas, light, metals, were little boats that sail toward those isles of yours that wait for me. Well, now, if little by little you stop loving me I shall stop loving you little by little. If suddenly you forget me do not look for me, for I shall already have forgotten you. If you think it long and mad, the wind of banners that passes through my life, and you decide to leave me at the shore of the heart where I have roots, remember that on that day, at that hour, I shall lift my arms and my roots will set off to seek another land. But if each day, each hour, you feel that you are destined for me with implacable sweetness, if each day a flower climbs up to your lips to seek me, ah my love, ah my own, in me all that fire is repeated, in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten, my love feeds on your love, beloved, and as long as you live it will be in your arms without leaving mine |
