“To be rich in admiration and free from envy, to rejoice greatly in the good of others, to love with such generosity of heart that your love is still a dear possession in absence or unkindness - these are the gifts which money cannot buy” - Robert Louis Stevenson |
“True character arises from a deeper well than religion. It is the internalization of moral principles of a society, augmented by those tenets personally chosen by the individual, strong enough to endure through trials of solitude and adversity. The principles are fitted together into what we call integrity, literally the integrated self, wherein personal decisions feel good and true. Character is in turn the enduring source of virtue. It stands by itself and excites admiration in others.” - Edward O. Wilson |
"Love is the admiration and cherishing of the amiable qualities of the beloved person, upon the condition of yourself being the object of their action” - Samuel Taylor Coleridge |

All the means of action - the shapeless masses - the materials -

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems,

Exactly Right by Charles Bukowski
the strays keep arriving: now we have 5cats and they are smart, spontaneous, self-absorbed, naturally poised and awesomely beautiful. one of the finest things about cats is that when you’re feeling down, very down, if you just look at the cat at rest, at the way they sit or lie and wait, it’s a grand lesson in preserving and if you watch 5 cats at once that’s 5 times better. no matter the extra demands they make no matter the heavy sacks of food no matter the dozens of cans of tuna from the supermarket: it’s all just fuel for their amazing dignity and their affirmation of a vital live we humans can only envy and admire from afar. |

The lights are off around me,
and I'm feeling the loneliness settle in an eerie feeling of solitude engulfs the room. I try to push the thoughts, the wishy-washy feelings, the insecurity from my eager minded head. I always come up empty handed, living my life with my eyes closed and always feeling like I've taken a solid two steps backward from my destination only to realize I'm where I want to be. My childish dreams aren't so childish and I avoid the constant chatter, I hear the pitter patter of my heart beat feeling the anxiety rise up through my throat and those doubts from the chatter come back. I'm losing the spark I thought I never had, and instead light a match to guide my way. It may be a temporary solution, but I have confidence it will get me to my final goal. A Spark, To Pierce The Dark by Britt |

"I love that you get cold when it is 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle in your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible."
When Harry Met Sally |

SONETO II
Amor, cuántos caminos hasta llegar a un beso, qué soledad errante hasta tu compañía! Siguen los trenes solos rodando con la lluvia. En Taltal no amanece aún la primavera. Pero tú y yo, amor mío, estamos juntos, juntos desde la ropa a las raíces, juntos de otoño, de agua, de caderas, hasta ser sólo tú, sólo yo juntos. Pensar que costó tantas piedras que lleva el río, la desembocadura del agua de Boroa, pensar que separados por trenes y naciones tú y yo teníamos que simplemente amarnos, con todos confundidos, con hombres y mujeres, con la tierra que implanta y educa los claveles. Pablo Neruda, 1959 |
Be naughty - save Santa a trip. ~Author Unknown
