Words of Inspiration

“When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love.”

—

Marcus Aurelius “We are like sand and water.  The push and pull of her tide turn me to stone and glass. I’m stretched beneath her. Let’s bend our promises.  Consuming each other like rain drops.  My only fear was drowning in that dry river bed.  Wash over me.” —  #1 “Her story was the one I found myself going back to, reading over and over again. Her story was the one I wanted; because She was the one I wanted.” -Things That My Heart Whispers “your skin  smells  like light. i think you are  the  moon.” —  Nayyirah Waheed  “I want to love you wildly. I don’t want words, but inarticulate cries, meaningless, from the bottom of my most primitive being, that flow from my belly like honey. A piercing joy, that leaves me empty, conquered, silenced.” —  Anaïs Nin “She reminded me of the sea; the way she came dancing towards you, wild and beautiful, and just when she was almost close enough to touch she’d rush away again.” —  Glenda Millard, A Small Free Kiss in the Dark “She did not need much, wanted very little. A kind word, sincerity, fresh air, clean water, a garden, kisses, books to read, sheltering arms, a cosy bed, and to love and be loved in return.” —  S. N. B. “A good relationship is when two people accept each other’s past, support each other’s present, and love each other enough to encourage each other’s future. So don’t rush love. Find a partner who encourages you to grow, who won’t cling to you, who will let you go out into the world, and trust that you will come back. This is what true love is all about.” —  Unknown “Sometimes I’m terrified of my heart; of its constant hunger for whatever it is it wants. The way it stops and starts.” —  Edgar Allan Poe “Don’t fight your demons. Your demons are here to teach you lessons. Sit down with your demons and have a drink and a chat and learn their names and talk about the burns on their fingers and scratches on their ankles. Some of them are very nice.” -Unknown “In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.” —  Albert Camus
