Behaving like a Princess...

Behaving like a princess is work. It's not just about looking beautiful or wearing a crown. It's more about how you are inside. 

Julie Andrews

Eyes speak louder...

Look into my eyes and hear what I'm not saying, for my eyes speak louder than my voice ever will.

Inner spirit...

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. - Albert Schweitzer

Love was the key....

"When you were in love, you were capable of learning everything and of knowing things you had never dared even to think, because love was the key to understanding all of the mysteries."
Author: Paulo Coelho

Unspoken..

I've always believed that if you are precise in your thoughts, it's not the lines you say that are important - it's what exists between the lines. What I'm compelled by most is that transparency of thought, what is left unspoken. 

Vera Farmiga

Learning...

Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books. 

John Lubbock

Beauty secret...

My greatest beauty secret is being happy with myself. I don't use special creams or treatments - I'll use a little bit of everything. It's a mistake to think you are what you put on yourself. I believe that a lot of how you look is to do with how you feel about yourself and your life. Happiness is the greatest beauty secret. 

Tina Turner

You didn't love her..

You didn't love her. You just didn't want to be alone. Or maybe, maybe she was just good for you ego. Or, or maybe she made you feel better about your miserable life, but you didn't love her. Because you don't destroy people you love.

— Grey's Anatomy

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

I don't care...

I don’t care what you think of me! Unless you think I’m awesome – in which case, you’re right! Carry on…

Immerse yourself...

It's fun to get away from myself for a while when I take on these roles that have very different personalities from my own. I get to say things I normally wouldn't say or act in ways I normally wouldn't act. After all, such roles are more challenging because you really have to immerse yourself in the character. 

Kelsey Chow

Those who can smile...

I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death. 

Leonardo da Vinci

Comfort zone...

So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality, nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit. 

Christopher McCandless

Life itself...

Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have - life itself. 

Walter Anderson

A quiet thing...

Sometimes we look for those thunderous things to happen in our life for our lives to change or go in the other direction. We seek the miracle. We seek the parting of the seas, the moving of the mountains. But no, it's a quiet thing. At least for me it was. 

Ben Vereen

Step outside...

Be willing to step outside your comfort zone once in a while; take the risks in life that seem worth taking. The ride might not be as predictable if you'd just planted your feet and stayed put, but it will be a heck of a lot more interesting.

-Edward Whitacre, Jr.

I survived...

I survived because the fire inside me burned brighter than the fire around me.

Joshua Graham

Pull yourself together...

 

        Pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick, and pull yourself together.

Elizabeth Taylor

You deserve someone better...

        You deserve someone better than me. Someone young and idealistic…someone who can experience things for the first time along with you. I'm not always kind, and I have more faults than I'd care to name. All I can promise is that I'll want you until my last breath.

Lisa Kleypas, Because You're Mine (Capital Theatre, #2)

Being me...

I had everything I'd hoped for, but I wasn't being myself. So I decided to be honest about who I was. It was strange: The people who loved me for being funny suddenly didn't like me for being... me. 

Ellen DeGeneres

Close your eyes and Imagine...

       Close your eyes and imagine the best version of you possible. That’s who you really are, let go of any part of you that doesn’t believe it.

C. Assaad

In your arms...

I seek the counsel of your heartbeat
and the calm song of your voice,
your warm breath and the security
of your gentle touch — my soul rests
quietly and peacefully, in your arms.

~Terri Guillemets, "Serenity found," 2009

Circle of one's personality...

I must reconsider my position, as I cannot go on living here as I am doing, though I know that there is no such thing as changing one's life: one merely wanders round and round within the circle of one's own personality. 

~Oscar Wilde (1854–1900), letter to Robert Ross

Living now...

The meaning of life is not to be discovered only after death in some hidden, mysterious realm; on the contrary, it can be found by eating the succulent fruit of the Tree of Life and by living in the here and now as fully and creatively as we can.

~ Paul Kurtz

It's magic...

Our time here is magic! It's the only space you have to realize whatever it is that is beautiful, whatever is true, whatever is great, whatever is potential, whatever is rare, whatever is unique, in. It's the only space. 
~ Ben Okri

Shall we not revenge???

If you prick us do we not bleed? If you tickle us do we not laugh? If you poison us do we not die? And if you wrong us shall we not revenge?

~William Shakespeare

Death...

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.

Steve Jobs

I'm at a point in life...

I'm at a point in life where I no longer care about losing friendship or relationships.
I don't even speak to some of my family and it doesn't bother me one bit. People come and go. I'm not here to chase anyone or beg for friendship or loyalty. If you feel me and if we vibe, then that's what's up. If not, then it is, what it is. See ya.

When you create chaos....

My art is not limited to the songs I create but also to the reaction it creates. I like to sit back and look at the whole thing as if it's a tornado that I'm controlling. It's creating chaos. When you create chaos, ideas are turned upside down, and everybody looks at things in a different way. 

~ Marilyn Manson

Thoughts of you...

Is there nowhere left a spot
Where the thought of you is not?
I have sought it everywhere,
Woods and waters, field and air...
I have tried to think on Heaven,
 White-clad angels, souls forgiven—
 What are all such holy things?
 Only thoughts of you—with wings!

~Margaret Widdemer (1884–1978), "Thought of You," The Factories, With Other Lyrics, 1915

Left my soul content...

Last night—I cannot know which way it came
Or what star-way it went—
There was a little dream without a name
That left my soul content...


~Margaret Widdemer (1884–1978), "The Joyous Dream," The Factories, With Other Lyrics, 1915

Without wondering....

Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering. 

~St. Augustine

Flowers are evil...

Flowers are evil, because they live to die for the love of other people. You don’t believe me? Try it for yourself and see if you’ll be good afterwards. Undeath is a way of life, for some things. That doesn’t make it good or anything. Especially anything. Nothing makes anything anything. Because nothing is a serious matter, and anything just is.

~ Will Advise, Nothing is here...          

Dreaming or awake...

 “And then, just at that moment, when I'm no longer sure if I'm dreaming or awake or walking some valley in between where everything you wish for comes true, I feel the flutter of his lips on mine."

~Lauren Oliver

Patience..

Patience doesn't mean making a pact with the devil of denial, ignoring our emotions and aspirations. It means being wholeheartedly engaged in the process that's unfolding, rather than ripping open a budding flower or demanding a caterpillar hurry up and get that chrysalis stage over with. 

Sharon Salzberg

Conscious and unconscious...

Feelings aroused by the touch of someone's hand, the sound of music, the smell of a flower, a beautiful sunset, a work of art, love, laughter, hope and faith - all work on both the unconscious and the conscious aspects of the self, and they have physiological consequences as well. 

Bernie Siegel

Of all the music that reached farthest into heaven, it is the beating of a loving heart. 

Henry Ward Beecher

So do I....

There are as many worlds as there are kinds of days, and as an opal changes its colors and its fire to match the nature of a day, so do I.

~ John Steinbeck

Great souls....

.

Everybody dies, but great souls ressurects in our memories.

Michael Bassey Johnson

Do not watch...

Do not watch the petals fall from the rose with sadness, know that, like life, things sometimes must fade, before they can bloom again.

Simple.. Yet strong..

She was fierce. She was simple. She was crazy and always had something to say. She had flaws, but when she was down she got right back up. She was a beast in her own way but one word described her best… Strong!

Love chooses you..

Remember that you don't choose love; love chooses you. All you really can do is accept it for all its mystery when it comes into your life. Feel the way it fills you to overflowing then reach out and give it away. 

~ Kent Nerburn

Which door will you take???

I believe in taking chances and living your life. Sometimes doors open and others close and you have to figure out which one you're going to take. I'm always for the one that's challenging. 

~ Gisele Bundchen

Letting go...

Letting go helps us to to live in a more peaceful state of mind and helps restore our balance. It allows others to be responsible for themselves and for us to take our hands off situations that do not belong to us. This frees us from unnecessary stress. ~ Melody Beattie

Falling in love...

I think that one of the things that you do learn is that falling in love and being in love with someone is a rarity. That you don't fall in love as many times as you think you're going to. And then when you do, it's really special; it's really important.

~ Julianne Moore

Make life happen...

Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself, right now, right down here on Earth. 

Bradley Whitford

Falling in love.

"Mohabbat karna hamare bas mein nahi hai...uss mohabbat se dur chale jana vo hamare bas mein hai"

It's not within our control to fall in love ... but to go far away from that love ... is within our control.

~ Ae dil hai mushkil (2016)

Callings of my soul..

As I unclutter my life, I free myself to answer the callings of my soul. 

~ Clarissa Pinkola Estes
