and

‘And you bring out the soft side, in everyone. We gather like ravens on a rusty scythe. Just to watch such a little dove, fly away.’

- Bill Callahan

accepted

‘And you would accept the seasons of your heart just as you have always accepted that seasons pass over your fields and you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief.’

- Kahlil Gibran

until

‘What this power is I cannot say; all I know is that it exists and it becomes available only when a man is in that state of mind in which he knows exactly what he wants and is fully determined not to quit until he finds it.’

- Alexander Graham Bell

unfathomable

‘A man of restraint attains unfathomable powers by means of preservation and conservation of energy. He does not waste his energy in seeking sensual pleasures. ‘

- Sam Veda

perceived

‘When we are unhurried and wise, we perceive that only great and worthy things have any permanent and absolute existence, that petty fears and petty pleasures are but the shadow of the reality’

- Henry David Thoreau

long

‘Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.’

- Henry Van Dyke

distance

‘Somewhere we know that without silence words lose their meaning, that without listening speaking no longer heals, that without distance closeness cannot cure’

- Henri Nouwen

filling

‘The sound shivers through the walls, through the table, through the window frame, and into my finger. These distraction-oholics. These focus-ophobics. Old George Orwell got it backward. Big Brother isn’t watching. He’s singing and dancing. He’s pulling rabbits out of a hat. Big Brother’s holding your attention every moment you’re awake. He’s making sure you’re always distracted. He’s making sure you’re fully absorbed… and this being fed, it’s worse than being watched. With the world always filling you, no one has to worry about what’s in your mind. With everyone’s imagination atrophied, no one will ever be a threat to the world.’

- Chuck Palahniuk

everywhere

‘You know you are in love when you see the world in her eyes, and her eyes everywhere in the world.’

- David Levesque

beauty

‘For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it.’

- Ivan Panin
