Human beings are funny
"Human beings are funny. They long to be with the person they love but refuse to admit openly. Some are afraid to show even the slightest sign of affection because of fear. Fear that their feelings may not be recognized, or even worst, returned. But one thing about human beings that puzzles me the most is their conscious effort to be connected with the object of their affection even if it kills them slowly inside."
Sigmund Freud
We assume others show love the same way we do
"We assume others show love the same way we do - and if they don’t, we worry it’s not there."
Unknown
Love conquers
"Love conquers distance and time, love endures all, it’s been around since the beginning, and will be there until the end."
Ask yourself what is really important
"Ask yourself what is really important and then have the courage to build your life around your answer."
When it comes to being gentle, start with yourself
"When it comes to being gentle, start with yourself. Don’t get upset with your imperfections. Being disappointed by failure is understandable, but it shouldn’t turn into bitterness or spite directed at yourself. It’s a great mistake——because it leads nowhere—to get angry because you are angry, upset at being upset, disappointed because you are disappointed."
St. Frances de Sales

I am constantly trying to communicate something incommunicable
I am constantly trying to communicate something incommunicable, to explain something inexplicable, to tell about something I only feel in my bones and which can only be experienced in those bones.

This is perfection
"I have no desire to write. The sun, the leaves, the shade, the warmth, are so alive that they lull the senses, calm the imagination. This is perfection. There is no need to portray, to preserve. It is eternal, it overwhelms you, it is complete."
Anaïs Nin, from The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 5: 1947-1955
Courage
Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently.
Maya Angelou
