I must be a mermaid, Rango. I have no fear of depths and a great fear of shallow living. — Anaïs Nin

Wisdom tells me I am nothing. Love tells me I am everything. And between the two my life flows.

Nisargadatta Maharaj

But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

“The sun shines down, and its image reflects in a thousand different pots filled with water. The reflections are many, but they are each reflecting the same sun. Similarly, when we come to know who we truly are, we will see ourselves in all people.”

Mata Amritanandamayi (“Amma”) or (“The Hugging Saint”)

“There was this skinny kid with these eyebrows shouting up at me, “Diego, I want to show you my paintings!” But, of course, she made me come down to her, and I did, and Ive never stopped looking. But I want to speak about Frida not as her husband, but as an artist. I admire her. Her work is acid and tender… hard as steel… and fine as a butterflys wing. Loveable as a smile…cruel as…the bitterness of life. I dont believe… that ever before has a women put such agonized poetry on canvas.”

Diego Rivera on Frida Kahlo (as portrayed in the 2002 Frida Kahlo biopic)

Being in love is a good thing, but it is not the best thing. There are many things below it, but there are also things above it. You cannot make it the basis of a whole life. It is a noble feeling, but it is still a feeling…Knowledge can last, principles can last, habits can last; but feelings come and go…But of course, ceasing to be ‘in love’ need not mean ceasing to love. Love in this second sense—love as distinct from ‘being in love’—is not merely a feeling.

- C.S Lewis  (via soulandtell)

A poet is a bird of unearthly excellence, who escapes from his celestial realm arrives in this world warbling. If we do not cherish him, he spreads his wings and flies back into his homeland.
