Now, I’m not going to deny that I was aware of your beauty. But the point is, this has nothing to do with your beauty. As I got to know you, I began to realise that beauty was the least of your qualities. I became fascinated by your goodness
It is better to love wisely, no doubt: but to love foolishly is better than not to be able to love at all
She was more than human to me. She was a Fairy, a Sylph, I don’t know what she was - anything that no one ever saw, and everything that everybody ever wanted. I was swallowed up in an abyss of love in an instant. There was no pausing on the brink; no looking down, or looking back; I was gone, headlong, before I had sense to say a word to her 😍
Doubt thou the stars are fire; Doubt that the sun doth move; Doubt truth to be a liar; But never doubt I love
I cannot let you burn me up, nor can I resist you. No mere human can stand in a fire and not be consumed
I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who’s ever lived: I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough
In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you
I wish I knew how to quit you
Just because your version of normal isn’t the same as someone else’s version doesn’t mean that there’s anything wrong with you
A friend may be waiting behind a stranger’s face
Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human
I would not have you descend into your own dream. I would have you be a conscious citizen of this terrible and beautiful world
Recovering from suffering is not like recovering from a disease. Many people don’t come out healed; they come out different
Each of us is more than the worst thing we’ve ever done
It’s only after we’ve lost everything that we’re free to do anything
You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view…Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.
You start to think of contempt as a virus. Infecting individuals first, but spreading rapidly through families, communities, peoples, power structures, nations. Less flashy than hate. More deadly
What’s the point of having a voice if you’re gonna be silent in those moments you shouldn’t be
Accept—then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it. Make it your friend and ally, not your enemy. This will miraculously transform your whole life
Science has taught me that everything is more complicated than we first assume, and that being able to derive happiness from discovery is a recipe for a beautiful life
