Rebel...


 

        ...it’s just another one of those things I don’t understand: everyone impresses upon you how unique you are, encouraging you to cultivate your individuality while at the same time trying to squish you and everyone else into the same ridiculous mould. It’s an artist’s right to rebel against the world’s stupidity.
E.A. Bucchianeri

Doubtful...


 Although a skillful flatterer is a most delightful companion if you have him all to yourself, his taste becomes very doubtful when he takes to complimenting other people.

Charles Dickens

Genius in simplicity...


 

       Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius — and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.

Enjoy the roses...


One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.

Perfect together!

He is no Ram.

She is no Sita.

Still they're perfect together!

Struggle...


The strongest oak of the forest is not the one that is protected from the storm and hidden from the sun. It's the one that stands in the open where it is compelled to struggle for its existence against the winds and rains and the scorching sun.

Differences...

 

  
Do not think of knocking out another person's brains because he differs in opinion from you. It would be as rational to knock yourself on the head because you differ from yourself ten years ago.

You and I are one!

 

Lord Ram gave Hanuman a quizzical look and said, "What are you, a monkey or a man?" Hanuman bowed his head reverently, folded his hands and said, "When I do not know who I am, I serve You and when I do know who I am, You and I are One.

Crush you...

 There's something about a woman who's mind sits in silence, smiling knowing, she can crush you with the truth.

What does it hide??

 

If you want to see what the fog hides in itself, don't wait for the fog to disperse! Instead of waiting for something to happen in this short life, do something immediately! Enter the fog!

Intoxicant love...

 

       I met him & battled not to look into his eyes; secretly drank that yearning eyes. Now I'm a thirsty for lifetime, he made my love intoxicant. We both are deep in this intoxication. Our souls daily meets each other, everywhere. We are not normal lovers, we are exclusive soulmates who knows where we have to meet & love.

Truth...

 Look into my eyes, and you will find the truth!

The place spoke..

 

We walked always in beauty, it seemed to me. We walked and looked about, or stood and looked. Sometimes, less often, we would sit down. We did not often speak. The place spoke for us and was a kind of speech. We spoke to each other in the things we saw.

Italian things...

Italy used "wine windows" during The Plague and now they are open again during the corona virus pandemic.

All over Florence, Italy, has these cute little things called, buchetta del vino, which means wine window in English.

Back in the day, the rich Italians who owned vineyards would sell wine directly to the customers through these tiny windows in the walls.

But in the 1630s, the wine windows got really good use because of the Black death. It was a way to sell socially distanced wine and hopefully not catch the literal Plague.
