By being beautiful and kind you are doing your part to create a more beautiful world.
When you are kind to people in public you become a force for good, and you are teaching everyone who is watching you.
People know love when they feel it; your heart speaks to their heart.
People don't care what you say, only how you make them feel, so try to create pleasure for every person you encounter.
If you do this, your life will change forever, along with the lives of those you have touched.
We are both thinking and feeling creatures.
We must, therefore, devote our lives not only to rationality, but also to kindness.
There is no greater intelligence than kindness and empathy.
Kindness is the supreme intelligence. Let your brilliance be expressed through kindness.
If you can be kind to people, you will be a genius in this world.
— Bryant McGill

Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is.

Jim Morrison

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.” – Jack Kerouac, On The Road

“She is a friend of mind.
She gather me, man.
The pieces I am, she gather them and give them back to me in all the right order.
It’s good, you know, when you got a woman who is a friend of your mind.”
– Toni Morrison, Beloved

Genesis · 08-25-2015, 10:04 PM

“ Loneliness is the human condition.
Cultivate it.
The way it tunnels into you allows your soul room to grow.
Never expect to outgrow loneliness.
Never hope to find people who will understand you, someone to fill that space.
An intelligent, sensitive person is the exception, the very great exception.
If you expect to find people who will understand you, you will grow murderous with disappointment.
The best you’ll ever do is to understand yourself, know what it is that you want, and not let the cattle stand in your way.”
– Janet Fitch, White Oleander

"You are responsible for your life. If you're sitting around waiting on somebody to save you, to fix you, to even help you, you are wasting your time. Only you have the power to move your life forward."

... our humanity is our burden, our life; we need not battle for it; we need only to do what is infinitely more difficult—that is, accept it.’’

—James Baldwin, from the essay Everybody’s Protest Novel

"Your story isn't calm. The road has been chaotic at times, filled with detours and rain and loss so sudden, and soon. Sometimes the bliss was so elevated your heart could hardly hold it. Somtimes it was maddening to have, and then to lose. You learn soon enough that it hardly ever goes as planned -- gentle, easy, and smooth. But that my friend, is what makes you fascinating. You have something to tell. Something you've walked through. Something wild. Something courageous. Something true. You're made of stores within stories within even more stores. Those quiet depths of you."

-- Victoria Erickson
