We are desire. It is the essence of the human soul, the secret of our existence. 

Absolutely nothing of human greatness is ever accomplished without it. 

Not a symphony has been written, a mountain climbed, an injustice fought, or a love sustained apart from desire. 

Desire fuels our search for the life we prize.

John Eldredge

What happens in a certain place can stain your feelings for that location, 

just as ink can stain a white sheet. You can wash it, and wash it, 

and still never forget what has transpired - 

a word which here means ‘happened, and made everybody sad.’

 Lemony Snicket 

of emotions. yours. mine. the world.

why are we searching among the clouds what it appears only inside our hearts?

We forget we’re

mostly water

till the rain falls

and every atom

in our body

starts to go home.

 Albert Huffstickler, “We Forget”

The wise are wise only because they love. 

And the foolish are foolish only because they think they can understand love.

 Paulo Coelho, The Zahir

Because fear kills everything. 

Your mind, your heart, your imagination.
