Destiny...

On a windswept hill
by a billowing sea,
my destiny sits
and waits for me.

"I believe whatever doesn't kill you simply makes you...stranger."

"You won't kill me out of some misplaced sense of self-righteousness. And I won't kill you, because you're just too much fun. I think you and I are destined to do this forever." ―The Joker to Batman[src]

No object is Mysterious..

No object is mysterious. The mystery is your eye. ~Elizabeth Bowen, The House in Paris, 1935

Love is like...

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable. ~Bruce Lee

Solitariness....

With some people solitariness is an escape not from others but from themselves. For they see in the eyes of others only a reflection of themselves. ~Eric Hoffer

Beauty and Charm..

There's a difference between beauty and charm. A beautiful woman is one I notice. A charming woman is one who notices me. ~John Erskine

Going of time...

Whether we wake or we sleep, Whether we carol or weep, The Sun with his Planets in chime, Marketh the going of Time. ~Edward Fitzgerald

Stronger pull...!!

Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love. ~Rumi

Now is the time...

Now is the time to unite the soul and the world. Now is the time to see the sunlight dancing as one with the shadows. ~Rumi

One night...

This world's existence is one night long. There's a great lively gathering that night, but some people sleep through it. ~Rumi

Secret...

Love's secret is always lifting its head out from under the covers - "Here I am!" ~Rumi

Precious gems....or colors...

There is in them a softer fire than the ruby, there is the brilliant purple of the amethyst, and the sea green of the emerald - all shining together in incredible union. Some by their splendor rival the colors of the painters, others the flame of burning sulphur or of fire quickened by oil. ~Pliny, about the opal
