"There was a star riding through clouds one night,
and I said to the star,
'Consume me'."
"I'm so glad you're here.
It helps me realize how beautiful my world is."
-Riike
"Let us toast to animal pleasures, to escapism, to rain on the roof and instant coffee, to library cards, absinthe, and good-hearted landlords, to music and warm bodies, and first kisses....
and to the "good life" whatever it is,
and wherever it happens to be."
-Hunter S. Thompson
"But I have a new love for that glittering instrument, the human soul.
It is a lovely and
unique thing in the universe.
How it is attacked but never destroyed."
-John Steinback
"You're not the breath I breathe,
just the sweet scent that I enjoy.
You're not the sights I see,
just the most beautiful of them.
You're not the water I drink,
just the flavor that makes it taste so good.
You're not the ground I walk on,
just the partner I sometimes lean on.
You're not the blood in my veins,
just what makes it burn so sweetly.
You're not my life,
just the one I want to spend it with.
You're not my world.
You're just the best thing in it."
-unknown
"Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves in the strength that
will endure as long as life lasts.
There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature- the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter."
-Rachel Carlson
"I have sea foam in my veins,
for I understand
the language of waves."
-Le Testament d'Orphee
i love, love, love that you spelled Virginia Woolfe with two o's and an e on the end cause that's how my name is spelled truly and the real miss v. woolf is only two o's and no e -- but because my middle name is Virginia and my last name is Woolfe, i am forever asked if i am some relation to her, but i am not, nope, not at all.
