I love quotes...
To give oneself without love is a sin against the inner life. The outer world of material existence is a mere illusion.
Voyage
Tom Stoppard
“Am I in love? - Yes, since I am waiting.” The other one never waits. Sometimes I want to play the part of the one who doesn’t wait; I try to busy myself elsewhere, to arrive late; but I always lose at this game: whatever I do, I find myself there, with nothing to do, punctual, even ahead of time. The lover’s fatal identity is precisely this: I am the one who waits.
- Roland Barthes, A Lover’s Discourse
Separation
Your absence has gone through me
Like thread through a needle.
Everything I do is stitched with its color.
-- W.S. Merwin
Those who harbour unthinkable thoughts know in their hearts that they can find a kindred spirit, one who understands the special torture it is to live fractured into pieces, some of them so sharp that to touch them would be to bleed forever.'
Psychopath, Keith Ablow
That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.
- F. Scott Fitzgerald,
On Writing
Be deeply and uncompromisingly truthful. Never hesitate to express what you feel, even if it goes against the established opinion. Maybe at first, no one will understand you. But your isolation will not last long. Soon you will have friends, because what is deeply truthful for one person, is truthful for all.
A real artist always articulates what she thinks, even if she runs the risk of clashing with all the entrenched prejudices.
--Auguste Rodin, last will
No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself, and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true.
-Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter.
The hardest challenge is to be yourself in a world where everyone is trying to make you be somebody else. -- E. E. Cummings
It is never too late to be who you might have been.
-George Eliot
“That is the great distinction between the sexes. Men see objects, women see the relationships between objects.”
John Fowles
To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give. That takes courage, because we don't want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt.
Madonna
