Genesis · 07-06-2013, 11:02 AM

“Let us say in passing, to be blind and to be loved,
is in fact--on this earth where nothing is complete--one of the most strangely exquisite forms of happiness.
To have continually at your side a woman, a girl, a sister, a charming being,
who is there because you need her, and because she cannot do without you,
to know you are indispensable to someone necessary to you, to be able at all times
to measure her affection by the degree of the presence that she gives you, and to say to yourself:
She dedicates all her time to me, because I possess her whole love;
to see the thought if not the face; to be sure of the fidelity of one being in a total eclipse of the world;
to imagine the rustling of her dress as the rustling of wings;
to hear her moving to and fro, going out, coming in, talking, singing, to think that you are the cause of those steps,
those words, that song; to show your personal attraction at every moment; to feel even more powerful as your infirmity increases;
to become in darkness, and by reason of darkness, the star around which this angel gravitates;
few joys can equal that. The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved;
loved for ourselves--say rather, loved in spite of ourselves; the conviction the blind have.
In their calamity, to be served is to be caressed. Are they deprived of anything? No.
Light is not lost where love enters. And what a love! A love wholly founded in purity.
There is no blindness where there is certainty.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

Genesis · 07-06-2013, 11:06 AM

“Love has no middle term; either it destroys, or it saves.
All human destiny is this dilemma. This dilemma, destruction or salvation,
no fate proposes more inexorably than love. Love is life, if it is not death.
Cradle; coffin, too. The same sentiment says yes and no in the human heart.
Of all the things God has made, the human heart is the one that sheds most
light, and alas! most night.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Miserables

Very often we place demands on the universe to provide us with the things we want by saying that we need them. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a want. However, when it is not satisfied, you must not be fooled into believing that the universe does not support you.

~~Iyanla Vanzant

“True forgiveness is when you can say, "Thank you for that experience.”
― Oprah Winfrey

“But we can't go back. We can only go forward.”
― Libba Bray

"When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free." - Katherine Ponder

"To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love. In return, you will receive untold peace and happiness." - Robert Muller

"Courage is not the absence of fear but the judgment that something else is more important than fear. The brave may not live forever but the cautious do not live at all. For now you are traveling the road between who you think you are and who you can be."

" Stubborn and hardheaded people tend to be the least fearful. Because they will refuse to be scared at the will of another." Unknown

"Fear defeats life if you avoid what you fear. Your avoidings become your darkness they are your limitations. If you live inside your limitations you lead a small boring limited life. Wasting away in your limitations, pathetically rotting on the vine." Unknown

“He who has overcome his fears will truly be free.”
― Aristotle

You know what charm is; a way of getting of getting the answer yes without having asked any clear question.

There is a place you can touch a woman that will drive her crazy. Her heart.

Genesis · 07-07-2013, 06:50 PM

“Self-acceptance comes from meeting life's challenges vigorously.
Don't numb yourself to your trials and difficulties, nor build mental walls to exclude pain from your life.
You will find peace not by trying to escape your problems, but by confronting them courageously.
You will find peace not in denial, but in victory.”
Swami Sivananda (1887-1963); Spiritual Leader, Author, Physician
