Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh.
Notes on the Comic, by W.H. Auden
When you discover a love that nourishes your soul and brings joy...care enough about yourself to make room for it in your life.
by Jean Shinoda Bolen
She Walks In Beauty
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
by George Gordon, Lord Byron
