Learn to love...

Learn to love with all your heart and accept the unlovable side of others. For anyone can love a rose, but it takes a great heart to include the thorns…

When was the last time???

When was the last time you spent a quiet moment just doing nothing - just sitting and looking at the sea, or watching the wind blowing the tree limbs, or waves rippling on a pond, a flickering candle or children playing in the park? 

-Ralph Marston

That one I love...

"That one I love who is incapable of ill will, and returns love for hatred. Living beyond the reach of I and mind, and of pain and pleasure, full of mercy, contented, self-controlled, with all his heart and all his mind given to Me / with such a one I am in love."

- The Bhagwad Gita.

Secrets...

The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart. 

St. Jerome

Without thinking twice...

...and without thinking twice, I held your hand, because  in that moment, nothing else felt right, as beautiful...
-Parth

Pretty or elegant???

Pretty is an accident of nature. Elegant is a self-created work of Art.

 -Being Caballero- Art of being a Dama

Hello...

Hello..."Kutte...kutte, ullu ke pathe... you bas***d...saale suar ki aulaad, tujhe kya laga ke tu mujhe chod dega, to main zindagi bhar tadapti rahoongi? Tadpe ka TU kameene! Keede pade gein tere ko. Kutte ki maut mare ga, or marne ke baat hamesha hamesha ke liye narak ki aag mein jale gaa, teri maa ki...!!"

- Geet (Jab we met, 2007)

Temptation...

        Oh, he did look like a deity – the perfect balance of danger and charm, he was at the same time fascinating and inaccessible, distant because of his demonstrated flawlessness, and possessing such strength of character that he was dismaying and at the same time utterly attractive in an enticing and forbidden way.

Simona Panova, Nightmarish Sacrifice

Burn..

Sometimes we have to burn a few chapters before we can write a new one!!

Letting go and holding on...

I hope I haven't grown up. The cliche for all artists is that you don't want to lose that child inside. I think when you get sedentary and set in your ways, you can lose a lot of that spontaneity and creativity. I hope I'm holding on to that. 

Catherine Hardwicke

People will never forget...

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Maya AngelouYou

Feel...

Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is.

 Jim Morrison

Never..ever find..

I think the strangest thing that exists, is how there are billion of people on the planet and yet, so many people can spend their whole lives looking for somebody to love and never, ever find that.

C Joybell C quotes 

People who never get them...

        A hug is a display of love that begins on the physical end of the spectrum but bleeds into the emotional end of the spectrum if you let it, if you give into it. It’s the most innocent, pure form of physical human connection there is. It only takes two willing people, who don’t even have to know each other, to participate. Two willing people who want that exchange. It’s so easy, but there are people who never get them. People who never get them,” she repeats softly, it’s a confession.

Kim Holden, So Much More

In the hands...

IN THE HANDS OF MAN

He who creates a poison, also has the cure.
He who creates a virus, also has the antidote.
He who creates chaos, also has the ability to create peace.
He who sparks hate, also has the ability to transform it to love.
He who creates misery, also has the ability to destroy it with kindness.
He who creates sadness, also has the ability to to covert it to happiness.
He who creates darkness, can also be awakened to produce illumination.
He who spreads fear, can also be shaken to spread comfort.
Any problems created by the left hand of man,
Can also be solved with the right,
For he who manifests anything,
Also has the ability to
Destroy it.

Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

Souls blend...

Just as in earthly life lovers long for the moment when they are able to breathe forth their love for each other, to let their souls blend in a soft whisper, so the mystic longs for the moment when in prayer he can, as it were, creep into God.

-Soren Kierkegaard

Hate...until it hurts..

Don't do anything by half. If you love someone, love them with all your soul. When you go to work, work your ass off. When you hate someone, hate them until it hurts. 

Henry Rollins

Mann Chandre nu...

Mann chandre nu raas na aave, Na aave darwaas!
Crazy heart neither gets satisfaction nor can afford!

Jigar da sauda kyon kar baitha, mukkadi jandi aas!
Why I fell in love, now even the hopes are dying!

Je lutt janda te lutt janda dil, hauke kha k chhup janda!
Once heart is gone, its gone! It hides after crying inside!

Beparwah da ki kehna, Na aave darwaas!
What to say about careless people, there is no relief!

Jigar da sauda kyon kar baitha, mukkadi jandi aas!

Dard sataunda bedardan nu, bedardan da ki janda!
Pain hurts the heartless, they won't feel the pain!

Learned to fly...

These wings are scarred and dirty, but damn how they’ve learned to fly!!
- Tiffany Aurora.

Pure love..

The only creatures that are evolved enough to convey pure love are dogs and infants. 
Johnny Depp

Music...

Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent. 

Victor Hugo

Everlasting...

It's not that diamonds are a girl's best friend, but it's your best friends who are your diamonds. It's your best friends who are supremely resilient, made under pressure and of astonishing value. They're everlasting; they can cut glass if they need to.

-  Gina Barreca

Contact...

And he understands. He understands why people hold hands: he'd always thought it was about possessiveness, saying This is mine. But it's about maintaining contact. It is about speaking without words. It is about I want you with me and don't go.      

Cassandra Clare

One chance...

Something you need most might be something you turn away from, something you turn away from might be something you regret, and something you regret, in the end, might cost you the one chance you ever had.      

Brian Judge

I wish...

i wish that i had NEVER MET YOU.
Then there would be no need to impress you. No need to want you. No need for loving you. No need for crying over you. No need for heartbreaks. No need for pain or tears. No need for rejected hugs. No need for forgotten promises. No need for crying myself to sleep. No need for acting like you care. No need, for all you’ve done to make me feel like absolutely nothing.
-
But then again, I’m glad I did meet you. ‘Cause you were the one who always asked me if anything was wrong. You were the one who loved me for me. The one who cared when everyone else didn’t. The one who listened. The one who stayed up late talking about the most random things. You were the one who I told secrets to. The one who taught me new things. The one who laughed at my bad jokes. The one who did things, just for me.

Some women...

 

Some women are lost in the fire.
Some women are built from it.
- Michelle K, “Some”

Illusion...

Why struggle to open a door between us, when the whole wall is an illusion???
- Rumi.

Watching you...

        He wanted to tell her how much he preferred to look at her, that only by watching could he memorize her, and take her and possess her. He did not know how to explain that he could not touch better or more fully with his hands than he could with his eyes. Seeing encompassed all at once; a touch was limited to one spot at a time.

Jerzy Kosinksi

Master the world...

It is hard learning not to care and it takes a lot of practice, but once you master this art, you master the world.

Sometimes I need what only you can provide: Your absence!!

Good love...

They say a good love is one that sits you down, gives you a drink of water, and pats you on top of the head. But I say a good love is one that casts you into the wind, sets you ablaze, makes you burn through the skies and ignite the night like a phoenix; the kind that cuts you loose like a wildfire and you can't stop running simply because you keep on burning everything that you touch! I say that's a good love; one that burns and flies, and you run with it!

C. JoyBell C

Remember...

Remember that you were art long before he came to admire you, and you’ll continue to be art even when he’s gone. A masterpiece is still a masterpiece even when the lights are off and the room is empty.

— Charlotte Geier, Elfwood

There’s something...

There’s something in your eyes that draws me closer.
There’s something in your heart that pushes me away.

Uncertain...alone..imperfect..

       The moon is a loyal companion.
It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human.
Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.

Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me (Shatter Me, #1)

Enjoy the journey...

        Dance. Smile. Giggle. Marvel. TRUST. HOPE. LOVE. WISH. BELIEVE. Most of all, enjoy every moment of the journey, and appreciate where you are at this moment instead of always focusing on how far you have to go.

Mandy Hale, The Single Woman: Life, Love, and a Dash of Sass

Her eyes...

The eyes are one of the most powerful tools a woman can have. With one look, she can relay the most intimate message. After the connection is made, words cease to exist.       

Jennifer Salaiz

Her walk...

Her walk is like a shot of whiskey. Neat and strong and full of purpose. And so many underestimate her punch.

Many more colours....

I'm a multi-faceted woman and person, like all women are - there's no black and white. We have shades of grey in the middle. And even many more colours that other people don't see! 
-Shakira

Here I am...

The night is calling, I have to go
The wolf is hungry, he runs the show
He's licking his lips, he's ready to win
On the hunt tonight for love at first sting

Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane (Are you ready, baby?)
Here I am
Rock you like a hurricane!!

- Scorpions.

I am proud...

Love myself I do. Not everything, but I love the good as well as the bad. I love my crazy lifestyle, and I love my hard discipline. 

I love my freedom of speech and the way my eyes get dark when I'm tired. I love that I have learned to trust people with my heart, even if it will get broken. I am proud of everything that I am and will become. 

-Johnny Weir

Swinging together
Leaning over his beloved,
As Shyama speaketh sweet words into her ears
Turning scarlet, blushes, a demure Radha
Twining the pallu of her saree onto a finger,
Pressing to her cheeks, the tip of her long, dark plait,
She casts at him, coy looks, batting her eyelashes, thick.

Resting her face over his chest, broad
Wrapping around his neck, her slender arms
As her swollen lips brush against his,
A gentle sigh, in pleasure, out she breathes
A flame of passion ignite their hearts
Whilst the roguish pallu slips and drops
Becomes the skies, the earth
Become the earth, the skies
A warm treat of milk in a cup, silver
Pleasure serves those lips that quiver

Whilst the moon inches toward Yamuna
Love blossoms, blooms, stretches far afar
In ecstasy, their eyes daze
As a row boat sails, smooth, far in gaze
To and fro, swings the swing
Away to an end, euphoric, swaying .

Lyrics from the Kannada movie - Kirik Party (2016)

All you have...

Realise deeply that the present moment is all you will ever have.
- Eckhart Tolle

Burn yourself...

Sometimes you have to burn yourself to the ground before you can rise like a phoenix from the ashes. 

-Jens Lekman

I believe...

I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death. 

Robert Fulghum

Victory...

       

        जयति महाकाली जयति, आद्य काली माता
जय कराला वदने जयति, जगाता मातु विख्याता

Victory to you, O Mahakali! - To you Victory,
The primordial source of all beings - Victory!
The formidable-looking goddess - To you Victory,
Renowned as the mother of the world - Victory!

Munindra Misra, Chants of Hindu Gods and Godesses in English Rhymex

Powerful...

My natural bent is to have an overabundance of energy, and motion-capture essentializes your every breath, your every move. Seeing yourself through that mask, you realize how far you can pull back and make the performance even more powerful. 

-Andy Serkis

Lesson...

We are supposed to enjoy the good stuff now, while we can, with the people we love. Life has a funny way of teaching us that lesson over and over again.

Free...

        All I wanted was to live a life where I could be me, and be okay with that. I had no need for material possessions, money or even close friends with me on my journey. I never understood people very well anyway, and they never seemed to understand me very well either. All I wanted was my art and the chance to be the creator of my own world, my own reality. I wanted the open road and new beginnings every day.
