Quote of the Day

helpless that wants our love."

Quote of the Day
"Remember, it’s always darkest just before the dawn. Never underestimate
the strength of your will to live after a loss, to love after
heartache, or to rise after a fall. For although your troubles may be
too dense and dark right now for you to see the light, that doesn’t mean
there isn’t a strong spirit within them, or a beautiful sunrise just
beyond the horizon."
Quote of the Day
"To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To
never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of
life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to
its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is
simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try
and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget."
- by Arundhati Roy
Quote of the Day
"Whatever may be the tensions and the stresses of a particular day,
there is always lurking close at hand the trailing beauty of forgotten
joy or unremembered peace."

Inside them they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds... Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands, maybe."
- by Neil Gaiman
"I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center."
- by Kurt Vonnegut
Quote of the Day
"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all."
- by Oscar Wilde

and leap into the ripe air
Alive
with closed eyes
to dash against darkness"
