She...

   She look’d down to blush, and she look’d up to sigh, 

   With a smile on her lips and a tear in her eye. 

    - Sir Walter Scott

Strong women...

Strong women wear their pain like stilettos. No matter how much it hurts, all you see is the beauty of it.

Eyes spoke...

        It was the eyes. The secret of love was in the eyes. The way one person looked at another, the way eyes communicated and spoke when the lips never moved.

V.C. Andrews

Shattering...

Teach your daughters to worry less about fitting into glass slippers and more into shattering glass ceilings...

Empty...

It's not the feeling of completeness I need, but the feeling of not being empty.      

Jonathan Safran Foer

But it won't...

I write for those women who do not speak, for those who do not have a voice because they were so terrified, because we are taught to respect fear more than ourselves. We've been taught that silence would save us, but it won't. 
Audre Lorde

Absence...

Absence in love is like water upon fire; a little quickens, but much extinguishes it.
Hanna More

Grieve...

        

.       No time to grieve for roses when the forests are burning.

Juliusz Słowacki

Love...

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage. 
Lao Tzu

Nirvana...

He who gives away shall have real gain. He who subdues himself shall be free; he shall cease to be a slave of passions. The righteous man casts off evil, and by rooting out lust, bitterness, and illusion do we reach Nirvana.
 Buddha

Can you???

I wonder can you see the sadness behind my eyes? When you see my smile, do you know what I hide behind it? When you hear me laugh, do you know what Im really thinking? When you hear me sing, do you really hear the meaning? When I touch you, can you feel my pain?
Unknown

Listen to her eyes...

When a woman is talking to you, listen to what she says with her eyes. 
Victor Hugo

Endless song...

Nature is ever at work building and pulling down, creating and destroying, keeping everything whirling and flowing, allowing no rest but in rhythmical motion, chasing everything in endless song out of one beautiful form into another. 
John Muir

The power...

Every human has four endowments - self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to respond, to change. 
Stephen Covey
