Quotations:
On Love :
~ Do not settle for less than you deserve. If you do, that is precisely what you'll get. Know what makes you special: The right person will see all of those attributes, as well as ones that you can't even see. ~
~ Doubt thou the stars are fire,
Doubt that the sun doth move,
Doubt truth to be a liar.
But never doubt I love. ~
---Hamlet, in a love letter to Ophelia in Hamlet (II,ii)
~ Romance takes place in the middle distance. Romance is looking in at yourself, through a window clouded with dew. Romance means leaving things out: where life grunts and sniffles, romance only sighs. ~
---from The Blind Assassin , Margaret Atwood
~ Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; ...
And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
Love has no desire but to fulfill itself. ~
--- from The Prophet , Kahlil Gibran
On Life :
~ Man is born free; and everywhere he is in chains. ~
--- Rousseau, in Social Contract
~ On ne voit pas bien qu'avec le coeur. L'essential est invisible pour les yeux. ~
--- from Le Petit Prince
~ As flies to wanton boys are we to the gods. They kill us for their sport. ~
--- Gloucester in King Lear
~ Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. ~
---Muhammed Ali
~ A popular misconception is that we can't change the past--- everyone is constantly changing their own past , recalling it, realising it. ~
--- from The Diviners , Margaret Laurence
~ We must let go of the life we planned so as to accept the life that is waiting for us. ~
Miscellaneous:
~ Egoist, n. A person more interested in himself than in me. ~
