"Let me tell you this: if you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it’s not because they enjoy solitude. It’s because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them."

~Jodi Picoult

~Marcus Aurelius

To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.
Mary Oliver

When it's over, I want to say: all my life I was a bride married to amazement. I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.
Mary Oliver

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.
--C. S. Lewis

“I think at this point in our world, we’ve got a really confused idea of the way gender and sexuality works. I think we’ve created this really superfluous sort of like binary in the way we think about gender. And I guess I identify as queer because I don’t identify with that. I think that makes us less whole as people. I don’t need to be assigned to what it is I can do or who I can love. And it seems like we keep drawing these battle lines which are completely unnecessary. So that’s what I basically mean. When I say I’m queer, I’m saying that I think human beings are amazing. And love is an honor and an opportunity. And a fragile thing. A fragile process in which there’s no room for doubt, or shame, or hatred.” ~ Ezra Miller

"Fashion is one of the very few forms of expression in which women have more freedom than men. And I don’t think it’s an accident that it’s typically seen as shallow, trivial, and vain. It is the height of irony that women are valued for our looks, encouraged to make ourselves beautiful and ornamental… and are then derided as shallow and vain for doing so. And it’s a subtle but definite form of sexism to take one of the few forms of expression where women have more freedom, and treat it as a form of expression that’s inherently superficial and trivial. Like it or not, fashion and style are primarily a women’s art form. And I think it gets treated as trivial because women get treated as trivial."

~Greta Christina

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."

“Life is not a song, sweetling.
Someday you may learn that, to your sorrow.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

“The common people pray for rain, healthy children and a summer that never ends. It is no matter to them if the high lords play their game of thrones, so long as they are left in peace.”

“She craved his presence beside her. The way his fingertips light at the nape of her neck and his voice in the dark. Who would wait with an umbrella to walk her home in the rain, and smile like sunshine when he saw her coming. Who would dance with her on her balcony, keep his promises and know her secrets, and make a tiny world wherever he was, with just her and his arms and his whisper and her trust.”
― Laini Taylor

“The more you are motivated by Love,
The more fearless & free your action will be.” ― Dalai Lama XIV

You only need one to love you. But they have to love you free like a wildfire, crazy like the moon, always like tomorrow, sudden like an inhale and overcoming like the tides. Only one, THE one, delivers all of this.”
― C. JoyBell C.

"Because a thing seems difficult for you, do not think it impossible for anyone to accomplish."
~Marcus Aurelius

"A life without adventure is likely to be unsatisfying, but a life in which adventure is allowed to take whatever form it will is sure to be short."

Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says 'I need you because I love you.' Erich Fromm

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years. - Audrey Hepburn

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.

If you want a happy ending, change where you end your story.

Orson Welles

What if...What if religion was
each other,
if practice was our life, if prayer our words?
What if the temple was the Earth, if forests were
our church,
if holy waters ~ rivers, lakes, oceans.
What if meditation was our relationships,
if the teacher was life, if wisdom was self knowledge,
if love was the center of our being?
~ Ganga White
