pull down to refresh
If life were predictable, it would cease to be life and be without flavor.” —Eleanor Roosevelt
I said to my soul, be still and wait without hope, for hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love, for love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith, but the faith and the love are all in the waiting. Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought: So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.
T.S. Eliot
All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.” —Havelock Ellis
For love is a celestial harmony
Of likely hearts compos'd of stars' concent,
Which join together in sweet sympathy,
To work each other's joy and true content,
Which they have harbour'd since their first descent
Out of their heavenly bowers, where they did see
And know each other here belov'd to be.
Edmund Spenser, Fowre Hymnes
When I hear somebody sigh, ‘Life is hard,’ I am always tempted to ask, ‘Compared to what?’” —Sydney J. Harris

Make me immortal with a kiss.
---Christopher Marlowe, Doctor Faustus
If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.” —Bruce Lee
We die to each other daily. What we know of other people is only our memory of the moments during which we knew them. And they have changed since then. To pretend that they and we are the same is a useful and convenient social convention which must sometimes be broken. We must also remember that at every meeting we are meeting a stranger.
T.S. Eliot, The Cocktail Party
The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.” —Walt Disney
Ah! when will this long weary day have end,
And lende me leave to come unto my love?

Edmund Spenser, Amoretti And Epithalamion
Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.” —John Lennon
April is the cruelest month, breeding
lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
memory and desire, stirring
dull roots with spring rain.
T.S. Eliot, The Waste Land
“If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.” —Albert Einstein
Tis an ill cook that cannot lick his own fingers.
