Opinion is really the lowest form of human knowledge. It requires no accountability, no understanding. The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another’s world. It requires profound purpose larger than the self kind of understanding.

Plato, The Republic

Either you have me or not at all. Either you love me or not at all. Either I am all yours or I am nobody’s. I will have no half-measures with you.

Don’t you ever get the feeling that all your life is going by and you are not taking advantage of it?

Ernest Hemingway

[thebookhowl]

We laid there, underneath the stars, as fickle as we were, and I asked you what you thought we were. You pointed up into the sea of stars and said we were like the stars. That bit by bit, moment by moment, we were reaching our destiny of exploding in a flame of passion.

Nicholas Browne

“But I must admit I miss you terribly. The world is too quiet without you nearby.”
