The one thing we can never get enough of is love. And the one thing we never give enough is love.

"Who travels for love finds a thousand miles not longer than one."

— Japanese Proverb

I've spent most of my working life with men and they have this way of operating which seems a bit alien to me.

Janet Street-Porter

Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.

John Lubbock

If you're working out in front of a mirror and watching your muscles grow, your ego has reached a point where it is now eating itself. That's why I believe there should be a psychiatrist at every health club, so that when they see you doing this, they will take you away for a little chat.

Lewis Black

I will not be just a tourist in the world of images, just watching images passing by which I cannot live in, make love to, possess as permanent sources of joy and ecstasy.

“Do I love you? My sweet, if your love were a grain of sand, mine would be a universe of beaches.”
William Goldman

[MissItalianDiva]

When you decide for someone what they can or cannot do, what they should or should not do, what they need or do not need, you are standing between them and God. This does not serve you, God, or the other person. The reason God gave us each a life is so that we could take care of it. If someone needs your insight, wait until they ask for it.

~~Iyanla Vanzant

[MissItalianDiva]

Honest, open, heartfelt communication is one of the greatest gifts we can offer ourselves. When you are in true communication with another being, you have an opportunity to get clear about your own needs, desires and intentions. You also become clear about the expectations others may have of you.

~Iyanla Vanzant

If you want your relationships with other people to be healthy and fulfilling, surrender your expectations and set clear boundaries. When you let people know what you need and want, they can decide if they want to be involved.

~~Iyanla Vanzant

[MegBluEyz]

“Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke

Above the clouds
Away I go
To meet the man
I've long to know

Pushed and shoved
Throughout the day
Just to find
That magical way

You sent your son
In the form of a Dove
And all I feel
If your unconditional love

You see my face
You know my heart
I'll follow you
And we will never part

I wrote this poem (if you will) after a dream I had. I have never written a poem before (aside from the occassional "There once was a man from Nantucket....)

“A faith that cannot survive collision with the truth is not worth a thing.”

I don't envy you the headache you will have in the morning. But in the meantime, sleep well, and dream of large women. -- The Princess Bride

[LukeCian]

"And think not you can
Direct the course of love,
For love,
If it finds you worthy,
Directs your course."

- Khalil Gibran

People living deeply have no fear of death.
Anais Nin

[~baby~doll~]

"I do not want to be the leader. I refuse to be the leader. I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness. I want her/hym lying over me, always over me. Her/hys will, her/hys pleasure, her/hys desire, her/hys life, her/hys work, her/hys sexuality the touchstone, the command, my pivot. I don't mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically; but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated. I don't mind being told to stand on my own feet, not to cling all that I am capable of doing but I am going to be
pursued, fucked, possessed by the will of someone at her/hys time, her/hys bidding."
~
(paraphrased) Anais Nin

“Cut the ending. Revise the script. The man of her dreams is a butch.”
― Julie Anne Peters


“She was tired of hugging pillows, counting on blankets for warmth, and reliving romantic moments only in her dreams. She was tired of hoping that every day would hurry so she could get on to the next. Hoping that it would be a better day, an easier day. But it never was. Worked, paid the bills, and went to bed . Each morning the weight on her shoulders got heavier and heavier until finally she knew she had to make a change or die this way."― Cecelia Ahern


“All I want is a best friend whom I can't wait to kiss again.”
― Robin Palmer

[Trev]

“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won't either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.”
~Louise Erdrich

I like the quote but I don't agree with it. Life will only break you, if you choose to be broken. Life could never break me.
