Unknown...

 

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

Sharon Begley

Smiling...

 

“Smiling is the best way to face every problem, to crush every fear and to hide every pain.”

– Unknown

Present...

Nothing, I learned, brings you into the present quite like holding hands. The past seemed irrelevant; the future, unnecessary.

Catherine Lowel 

Be the reason...

 

"Be the reason someone smiles today. Or the reason they drink. Whatever works."

Sky...

 

"The sky takes on shades of orange during sunrise and sunset, the color that gives you hope that the sun will set only to rise again.

-Ram Charan

Gulabi...

 

Sham gulabi, sehar gulabi

Pehar gulabi ya gulabi ye shehar

Main bhi gulabi, tu hai gulabi

Din bhi gulabi hai, gulabi yeh kehar..

Wisteria...

 

There is much to be said for cherry blossoms, but they seem so flighty. They are so quick to run off and leave you. And then just when your regrets are the strongest the wisteria comes into bloom, and it blooms on into the summer. There is nothing quite like it. Even the color is somehow companionable and inviting. 

— Murasaki Shikibu

Conjunction...

 

Therefore the love which us doth bind,

But fate so enviously debars,

Is the conjunction of the mind,

And opposition of the stars.

Andrew Marvell

Silk...

Iron sharpens iron," I quoted the old proverb. "If she is made of fine silk and you of iron, she will smother you. Or perhaps you will shred her.

Jody Hedlund

Lover inside us!

 

I fell in love with the thought that a human life could be a priestly conduit, a connecting link between earth and sky. As I grew and stumbled and, most important, as I began to love and be loved, I realized that the ultimate priest is the lover inside us.

Marianne Williamson

Connections...

 

“When connections are real, they simply never die. They can be buried or ignored or walked away from, but never broken. If you’ve deeply resonated with another person or place, the connection remains despite any distance, time, situation, lack of presence, or circumstance. If you’re doubtful then just try it — go and revisit a person or place and see if there’s any sense at all of the space between now and then. If it was truly real, you’ll be instantly swept back into the moment it was before it left — during the same year and place with the same wonder and hope, comfort and heartbeat. Real connections live on forever.” 

— Victoria Erickson

büyülü...

Aşk hikayemizin büyülü olduğunu düşündüm...

Vows made in wine...

        I pray you, do not fall in love with me, for I am falser than vows made in wine.

William Shakespeare

I do not exist...

       For I do not exist: there exist but the thousands of mirrors that reflect me. With every acquaintance I make, the population of phantoms resembling me increases. Somewhere they live, somewhere they multiply. I alone do not exist.

Vladimir Nabokov

Winter...

 

       

If winter comes,

Can spring be far behind?

-Percy Bysshe Shelley

Trapped...

 

We are not trapped by our thoughts. What we generally do, however, is create thoughts that trap us.” 

Joshua David Stone

Art and love...

“Art and love are the same thing: It’s the process of seeing yourself in things that are not you.”

– Chuck Klosterman

Stop time...

The purpose of art is to stop time.

Bob Dylan

It is a magical thing for a handful of words, artfully arranged, to stop time. To conjure a place, a person, a situation, in all its specificity and dimensions. To affect us and alter us, as profoundly as real people and things do.

Jhumpa Lahiri

Grasp the thorn...

“But he that dares not grasp the thorn. Should never crave the rose.”

– Anne Bronte

Vibe...

Vibe high and the magic around you will unfold.

Akilnathan Logeswaran

Abandoned...

Art is never finished, 

only abandoned.

- Leonardo Da Vinci

Believe who you are...

If you celebrate your differentness, the world will, too. It believes exactly what you tell it—through the words you use to describe yourself, the actions you take to care for yourself, and the choices you make to express yourself. Tell the world you are one-of-a-kind creation who came here to experience wonder and spread joy. Expect to be accommodated.

Victoria Moran

Flow...

 Let us join the flow of ethereal vibrations when love is at our fingertips and encounter the mystery and wonder of unsuspected instants. Let us dip into the marvel of the budding and the blooming spray of our dreams brightening up our path. 

Erik Pevernagie

To the moon...

 To the Moon, and never back!

Maana ki hum yaar nahi...

Phool Jo Band Hai Panno Mein

Tum Usko Dhool Bana Dena

Baat Chhide Jo Meri Kahin

Tum Usko Bhool Bataa Dena

Lekin Wo Bhool Ho Aisi

Jis’se Bezaar Nahin

Lekin Wo Bhool Ho Aisi

Jis’se Bezaar Nahin

Tu Jo Soye Toh Meri Tarah

Ik Pal Ko Bhi Karaar Nahin

Maana Ki Hum Yaar Nahi…

If you were an artist...

 If you were an artist

how would you paint me?

With deep solid strokes 

or your brush sweeping softly?

Would you paint me by number,

quickly fill in the lines

or sketch me first, 

taking your time? 

Would you use vibrant colors

or plain shades of gray?

Would you change me in any way?

Would you hang me proudly

and gaze at me often

or tuck me away

until I'm forgotten?

~Christy Ann Martine

Move on...

 

If somebody steps on your shoes and ruins them, don't freak out.. get a new pair of shoes. If you miss something, don't freak out.. there's nothing you can do to change it.. just move on.

Usher

More...

 

Depths...

The more I drive myself into the depth of my inside, the more things come up to my vision, visibly or invisibly... I even do not know if I am seeing them with my eye or with my mind. I just need to copy them on my canvases. But this mental process is always overwhelming. I often have hard time to deal with my emotion on this state. You could call this depression on surface? But actually, so many 're-birth' and 'reform' are going on on my thoughts, inspiration, philosophy...etc in the underwater. I believe this struggle make my art real. My art always comes from my emotion.

Hiroko Sakai

Human face...

“Who sees the human face correctly: the photographer, the mirror, or the painter?” 

– Pablo Picasso

Repeat...

 

The story will repeat until you get it.

Nitya Prakash

You don't...

"Cause you never think that the last time is the last time. You think there will be more. You think you have forever, but you don't."

 – Meredith Grey

Amica...

Noi non potemo avere perfetta vita senza amici.

-Dante

Dark side of the moon...

And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

"There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact
it's all dark."

-Pink Floyd

Game over...

 

Wild woman...

Wild woman are an unexplainable spark of life. They ooze freedom and seek awareness, they belong to nobody but themselves yet give a piece of who they are to everyone they meet.

If you have met one, hold on to her, she'll allow you into her chaos but she'll also show you her magic.

Nikki Rowe

Classy...

Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another.

Napoleon Hill

Chaos...

I won't deny my peace

To meet you in your chaos!

Eternal kind of beauty...

“There are two types of beauty. The one that smacks you across the face and is plastered on magazine covers. And then there’s the type that grows on you. The one you don’t expect. The one that poets and authors write about, the eternal kind.”

 

The chains...

The chains that break you, are the chains that make you. And the chains that make you, are the chains you break.

Anthony Liccione

The past...

Because the past doesn't disappear.

It lingers inside us, in our present.

-Chiara

Bokeh...

Bokeh pictures are proof that, being out of focus is beautiful too!

- Unknown

She's proof...

“She’s proof that you can walk through hell and still be an angel.

 R.H. Sin

Do you love me?

It was a question I had worn on my lips for days - like a loose thread on my favourite sweater I couldn't resist pulling - despite knowing it could all unravel around me.

"Do you love me?" I ask.

In your hesitation I found my answer.

-Lang Leav

The demons...

The demons you have are what motivate you to make your art. This is what drives the detective, this is what drives the painter, this is what drives the writer: a conflicting urge to forget pain and at the same time remember it and fight for some kind of justice. I know these powerful things are inside of me and everyone in some way or another.

Tom Reiss

Goddess...

The image of the Goddess inspires women to see ourselves as divine, our bodies as sacred, the changing phases of our lives as holy, our aggression as healthy, our anger as purifying, and our power to nurture and create, but also to limit and destroy when necessary, as the very force that sustains all life. Through the Goddess we can discover our strength, enlighten our minds, own our bodies, and celebrate our emotions. We can move beyond narrow, constricting roles and become whole.    

Starhawk

Quiet or silent...??

 There's a difference between a quiet and a silent woman. A quiet woman is a blessing. A silent woman is dangerous.

History...

Well behaved women rarely make history.

Laurel Thatcher Ulrich

The strongest people...

 The strongest of people make time to help others, even when they're struggling with their own personal problems.

Artist...

If an artist falls in love with you,

You can never die!
