"Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, when one only remembers to turn on the light" -Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter

Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers,
but to be fearless in facing them.
Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain,
but for the heart to conquer it.

I love this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

something sweet I read today
 

she comes, and with her, her essence
she brightens the place, as if it's made alive by her presence
scents from her linger in each room
the sweet smells which surround her vanish too soon
when she goes
leaving only empty air to await her return

"I'm not going to give you a map. I can give you only a great passion to discover. Yes, a map is not needed; great passion, great desire to discover is needed. Then I leave you alone. Then you go on your own."

~Bhagwan Rajneesh

“The fate of your heart is your choice and no one else gets a vote”― Sarah Dessen


“Spending time with you showed me what I’ve been missing in my life.”
― Nicholas Sparks


“You cannot be with someone just because you don’t want to hurt him. You have your own happiness to think about.”― Melissa de la Cruz

Japanese poem
 

Sometimes while wandering,
when I cannot find which road
leads back the way I came,
the road goes anywhere,
and anywhere at all is home.

~~Muso Soseki

"The way to create art is to burn and destroy ordinary concepts and to substitute them with new truths that run down from the top of the head and out from the heart"

~Charles Bukowski.

Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.

Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.

Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
call to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting –
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.

― Mary Oliver

"Perhaps, after all, romance did not come into one’s life with pomp and blare, like a gay knight riding down; perhaps it crept to one’s side like an old friend through quiet ways; perhaps it revealed itself in seeming prose, until some sudden shaft of illumination flung athwart its pages betrayed the rhythm and the music, perhaps . . . perhaps . . . love unfolded naturally out of a beautiful friendship, as a golden-hearted rose slipping from its green sheath."

― L.M. Montgomery

This dialogue Reminds me of something I'd do with a very long-time BFF{almost 18 yrs}
 

Porthos:[French Accent] Stop praying and revel with me, Aramis! I need my spirits lifted. I'm old, I'm weak, my strength is gone.

Aramis: [U.K Accent] Porthos! I'm praying.

Porthos: I just said you're praying. Are you deaf, too? I know you're blind, because if you'd seen the tits that just walked out of here, you'd have tears in your eyes. [Porthos sniffs]

Aramis: Sometimes there are more important things in life than a good pair of tits.

Porthos: Really? If you can name me one thing that is more sublime than the feel of a plump, pink nipple between my lips, I'll build you a new cathedral.

Aramis: Forgiveness...

Porthos: Forgiveness...?

[Porthos farts]

Porthos: There... i am i forgiven? Come on [smacks Aramis on the shoulder] Am i forgiven?

[Aramis pauses, collects himself and slaps the shit out of Porthos]

Porthos: I have come to zee conclusion your Forgiveness is not as sweet....nor sublime!! [rubs cheek]

[Childish fight erupts between the two, Athos enters while Aramis pins Porthos down]

Athos:[American Accent...Possibly Wisconsin] Am I interrupting something?...

[Aramis & Porthos rush to Greet and explain while pushing each other]

From pacifist to terrorist,
each person condemns violence and then adds one cherished case in which it may be justified.

~Gloria Steinem

" Happiness isn't something you wait around for, or something that is going to happen someday. It is happening all the time , you just have to choose it. Make it happen . It is all up to you , the when and how much, depends on your choices." -Unknown

“My past has not defined me, destroyed me, deterred me, or defeated me; it has only strengthened me.” -― Steve Maraboli

“Come sleep with me: We won't make Love,Love will make us.”― Julio Cortázar

“The past could always be annihilated. Regret, denial, or forgetfulness could do that. But the future was inevitable.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.
Orson Welles



“Thou seest we are not all alone unhappy:
This wide and universal theatre
Presents more woeful pageants than the scene
Wherein we play in.”

― William Shakespeare, As You Like It


“We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and -- in spite of True Romance magazines -- we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely -- at least, not all the time -- but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.”

― Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967

“I know that's what people say-- you'll get over it, you will meet someone and be happy. I used to say it too. But I know it's not true. Every time I fall in love it is because something in that person reminds me of him. And sadly none really measure up”
― Betty Smith



“You never knew the last time you were seeing someone. You didn't know when the last argument happened, or the last time you had sex, or the last time you looked into their eyes and thanked God they were in your life.
After they were gone?
That was all you thought about.
Day and night.” ― J.R. Ward


“Fate never promises to tell you everything up front. You aren't always shown the path in life you're supposed to take. But sometimes, when you're really lucky, you meet someone with a map.” ― Sarah Addison Allen
