If words were raindrops, my heart would drink them like wine
"A mind is a fire to be kindled, not a vessel to be filled."--Plutarch
"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."--Winston Churchill
"The teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil to learn is hammering on cold iron."--Horace Mann
"I cannot love a friend whose love is words."--Antigone
"There is no one left in the world
that I can hold onto
There is really no one left at all
There is only you
And if you leave me now
You leave all that we were
undone
There is really no one left
You are the only one
And still the hardest part for you
To put your trust in me
I love you more than I can say
Why won't you just believe?"
--The Cure "Trust"
"People don't complete us. We complete ourselves. If we allow others to complete us,
then the search for love becomes a search for self-annihilation; and then we try to convince
ourselves that self-annihilation is love."--Erica Jong "Fear of Flying"
"For believe me, the more one is, the richer is all that one experiences. And whoever
wants to have a deep love in his life must collect and save for it and gather honey.....to love
is good, too: love being difficult. For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the
most difficult of all our tasks...for this reason young people, who are beginners in everything,
cannot yet know love. They have to learn it."--Ranier Maria Rilke "Rilke on Love and
other Difficulties"
