"Living fearlessly is not the same thing as never being afraid. It's good to be afraid occasionally. Fear is a great teacher."
~ Michael Ignatieff

""Is", "is." "is" — the idiocy of the word haunts me. If it were abolished, human thought might begin to make sense. I don't know what anything "is"; I only know how it seems to me at this moment."
~ Robert Anton Wilson

“When I am with you, we stay up all night.
When you're not here, I can't go to sleep.
Praise God for those two insomnias!
And the difference between them.”
~ Jalal ad-Din Rumi

"When the first living thing existed, I was there waiting.
When the last living thing dies, my job will be finished.
I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights,
and lock the universe behind me as I leave."
~ Neil Gaiman

"True spirit manifests as we realize it has never been absent from us, that it is always already present as the infinite potential in our own hearts. The paradox is that without a strong yearning or intention to wake up to this true nature, it is unlikely that it will ever manifest."
~ Alex Grey

“When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.”
~Tom Robbins

"There are some things in this life that just can't be ignored; looking into a woman's eyes and seeing that she is posessed of the Goddess is simply one of the most beautiful things you'll ever see"
~ T. Harley

“We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love.”
~ Tom Robbins

"It's like boxing a glacier. Enjoy that metaphor, by the way, because your grandchildren will have no idea what a glacier is."
~ Stephen Colbert

"What kind of fuckery is this?"
~ Amy Winehouse

"I dare you, to take me on. I'm so bored with cowards who say they want, but they can't handle, LOVE."
~ Bjork

"It takes courage to push yourself to places that you have never been before... to test your limits... to break through barriers. And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. "
~ Anais Nin

"Forgiveness is the name of love practiced among people who love poorly. The hard truth is that all of us love poorly. We need to forgive and be forgiven every day, every hour -- unceasingly. That is the great work of love among the fellowship of the weak that is the human family."
~ Henri Nouwen

"Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in."
~ Leonard Cohen
