"I love how your heart
is filled by so many but
still has room for me."

Daily Haiku on Love
by Tyler Knott

"It was one of those winter days that suddenly dream of spring, when the sky is blue and soft and clear, and the wind has dropped its voice and whispers instead of screaming, and the sun is out and the trees look surprised, and over everything there is the faintest, palest tint of green."

--Shirley Jackson


"A good writer writes well about what he knows.
A great writer writes even better about what he doesn’t."

--Alicia Law


"You don’t have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body."

--C.S. Lewis


He fumbles at your soul
As players at the keys
Before they drop full music on
He stuns you by degrees--
Prepares your brittle Nature
for the Ethereal Blow

By fainter Hammers--further heard--
Then nearer--Then so slow
Your Breath has time to straighten
Your Brain--to bubble Cool--
Deals--One--Imperial--Thunderbolt
That scalps your naked Soul--
When Winds take Forests
in their Paws--
The Universe--is still--


-Emily Dickinson




"A thousand enemies outside the house are better than one within."
-Arab Proverb


"Experience; the most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my god do you learn."
-C.S. Lewis

^This post secret cracked me up.
I just love that someone was mad enough at Derek
to buy a stamp
and go to the mailbox
and let the word know
that Derek is a ton of B.S.
hahaha


"Give me a man who is man enough to give himself just to the woman who is worth him."
-Sienna Miller



"Affection is a word that Austen values over love. Affection between a woman and man, in Austen, is the more profound and lasting emotion."
--Harold Bloom, 1994


"I also think...that the reason no one married [Jane Austen]...was that it was all just too much. Something truly frightening rumbled there beneath the bubbling mirth: something capable of taking the world by its heels, and shaking it."
-Fay Weldon, 1984


"Human life is holy. All of it."
-Beloved


"In order to let go of the things that hurt us the most, we must let someone else in."
-Kairos.
