| e3619b2 | This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly.

Take the power to make your life happy. | nature honesty happiness life love inspirational forest power | Susan Polis Schutz | |
| c750923 | Last night I wept. I wept because the process by which I have become woman was painful. I wept because I was no longer a child with a child's blind faith. I wept because my eyes were opened to reality....I wept because I could not believe anymore and I love to believe. I can still love passionately without believing. That means I love humanly. I wept because I have lost my pain and I am not yet accustomed to its absence. | pain reality | Anaïs Nin | |
| 4dab57e | CALVIN: Isn't it strange that evolution would give us a sense of humor? When you think about it, it's weird that we have a physiological response to absurdity. We laugh at nonsense.

| d4f77ab | Yes, death. Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no to-morrow. To forget time, to forget life, to be at peace. You can help me. You can open for me the portals of death's house, for love is always with you, and love is stronger than death is. | Oscar Wilde | ||

| 48a58df | When two people meet and fall in love, there's a sudden rush of magic. Magic is just naturally present then. We tend to feed on that gratuitous magic without striving to make any more. One day we wake up and find that the magic is gone. We hustle to get it back, but by then it's usually too late, we've used it up. What we have to do is work like hell at making additional magic right from the start. It's hard work, but if we can remember to .. | magic | Tom Robbins | |

| c966ab1 | Everything with me is either worship and passion or pity and understanding. I hate rarely, though when I hate, I hate murderously.

But I am much more preoccupied with loving. | hatred hate love penis-sucking oral-sex | Anaïs Nin | |

| 8ffe280 | I do not love; I do not love anybody except myself. That is a rather shocking thing to admit. I have none of the selfless love of my mother. I have none of the plodding, practical love. . . . . I am, to be blunt and concise, in love only with myself, my puny being with its small inadequate breasts and meager, thin talents. I am capable of affection for those who reflect my own world. | Sylvia Plath | ||
