“Вчера ми предложиха света.
Отказах, защото не ми го предлагаше ти.
А днес се моля телефона да звънне,
дори само, за да ми кажеш, че няма да дойдеш.
Повече няма какво да кажа.
Толкова е дълга изповедта на една просякиня,
на която вчера предложиха света.”

“Не те измести никой - Елисавета Багряна

Не те измести никой в тази къща.
И стола ти е празен в моя кът,
и в книгата ми никой не обръща
листа - недоизчетен този път.

Не гледа в лятна вечер никой с мене,
на прага седнал, звездния екран,
и никой не поема удивено
букета, рано сутринта набран.

Когато зъзна, никой не намята
с любов на плещите ми топъл шал -
и в жега, с витошка вода налята,
не ми е нежно чашата подал.

Минава пак година след година
и сменя се сезон подир сезон.
Връхлита буря, свлича се лавина,
от сняг или от плод се скършва клон...

И видимо в дома тук няма нещо
за тебе да напомня всеки миг -
ни някакви любими твои вещи,
ни в рамка на стената твоя лик.

Ти с въздуха край мене ме обгръщаш,
в кръвта ми влязъл, твоя пулс тупти -
не те измести никой в тази къща,
в която всъщност и не влезе ти.”
― Elisaveta Bagriana, Живота, който исках да бъде поема

“Но как безумно бих те днес прегърнала
да можех пак при тебе там да бъда...”
― Елисавета Багряна, Дългосвиреща плоча за любовта

“Не смеем да се срещаме.
Не смеем да се гледаме.
Не смеем да си проговорим.

Потеглят ни внезапно стъпките,
но недостигнали, замръзват.
Насочват се зениците,
ала светкавично се отлоняват.
Запалят се в сърцето думи,
но стигнали до устните,
изгасват.

Сами сме крепостни стегни издигнали,
от минали,
неанулирани години,
от любовта,
от загубата,
от живота
и съдбата
на скъпи,
на любими хора.
Стени непоклатими.

А в тайните води на мисълта
ръцете ни,
като на тънещи,
се дирят
и отмаляват,
с крайчеца на пръстите
да се докоснат.

Но устните мълчат.
Мълчат - да не излъжат.

И всеки в крепостта си
се затваря.”
― Елисавета Багряна

“Вик

Във тази стая - тясна, тъмна, ниска
умирам от неизцерима рана,
че аз не съм възлюбена и близка,
ни чакана от някого, ни звана.

А искам само, само да обичам,
жадувам искроструйно, светло вино;
от всяка тъмна мисъл се отричам,
край своя враг беззлобно ще отмина.

И искам щедро, волно да отдавам
това, що в мен гори, трепти и пее,
и в пищни празненства да разлюлявам
над скъпи гости звънки полилеи.

Че мойта младост, огнено пламтяща,
и моята душа на чучулига,
и моето сърце животрептящо -
като вихрушка над света ме вдигат.”
― Елисавета Багряна

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

“For everything in this journey of life we are on, there is a right wing and a left wing: for the wing of love there is anger; for the wing of destiny there is fear; for the wing of pain there is healing; for the wing of hurt there is forgiveness; for the wing of pride there is humility; for the wing of giving there is taking; for the wing of tears there is joy; for the wing of rejection there is acceptance; for the wing of judgment there is grace; for the wing of honor there is shame; for the wing of letting go there is the wing of keeping. We can only fly with two wings and two wings can only stay in the air if there is a balance. Two beautiful wings is perfection. There is a generation of people who idealize perfection as the existence of only one of these wings every time. But I see that a bird with one wing is imperfect. An angel with one wing is imperfect. A butterfly with one wing is dead. So this generation of people strive to always cut off the other wing in the hopes of embodying their ideal of perfection, and in doing so, have created a crippled race.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“The woman is the most perfect doll that i have dressed with delight and admiration.”
― Karl Lagerfeld
