You must write every single day of your life… 

You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes 

and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads… 

may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. 

And out of that love, remake a world.

Ray Bradbury

People disappeared, reappeared, made plans to go somewhere, and then lost each other, searched for each other, found each other a few feet away.

Every time you love someone it’s going to cost you something.

Joyce Meyer

Everything tells me that I am about to make a wrong decision, 

but making mistakes is just part of life. What does the world want of me? 

Does it want me to take no risks, to go back to where I came from because

 I didn’t have the courage to say “yes” to life?

 Paulo Coelho

find yourself in the journey- it's important

No one tires of dreaming, because dreaming is forgetting, 

and forgetting doesn’t weigh a thing.

 Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

good morning life!

Desperation is the raw material of drastic change. 
Only those who can leave behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape.

William S. Burroughs  

Close some doors. 

Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, 

but simply because they no longer lead somewhere.

In the end these things matter most: How well did you love? 

How fully did you live? How deeply did you let go?

Siddharta Gautama

"The bruises go away, and so does how you hate, and so does the feeling 

that everything you receive from life is something you have earned."

 Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything Is Illuminated

I carry you with me into the world,
into the smell of rain
the words that dance between people
for me, it will always be this way,
walking in the light,
remembering being alive together.

Once conform, once do what other people do because they do it, 

and a lethargy steals over all the finer nerves and faculties of the soul. 

She becomes all outer show and inward emptiness; dull, callous, and indifferent.

Virginia Woolf, Montaigne 

I wonder how many people I’ve looked at all my life and never seen.

John Steinbeck, The Winter of Our Discontent

The only people who ever get any place interesting are the people who get lost.

The eyes of others our prisons; their thoughts our cages.

with you, intimacy colours my voice.

even 'hello' sounds like 'come here'.

The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, 

and forgetting that you are special too.

Hemmingway

The real struggle…is about you: you, a person who has to learn to live in the real world, 

to inhabit her own skin, to know her own heart, to stop waiting for her life to begin.

Caroline Knappn

Seasons my friend
Color me so it can blend
Forbid me to go
I know so little 'bout the wind when it blows
Dreamer, dreamer I'm walking out of your dream

I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.

Anais Nin 

morning at Sacre Coeur...

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.

Kahlil Gibran

Don’t settle because you’re afraid you won’t find something better. 

Don’t compromise because you don’t want to be alone. 

Give your perfect life, lover and job time and space to grow into our life. 

Don’t rush, don’t hurry. Take your time, be easy, have patience. 

Allow everything to come to you with your subtle guiding and intending. 

Your days of constant chasing with little reward are over. 

Everything you’ve ever wanted and more coming to you, 

you just have to let it in with love, receptivity and non-judgment. 

Letting it in is how you become it.
