    Giacomo Casanova
    “Desires are but pain and torment, and enjoyment is sweet because it delivers us from them.”
    Giacomo Casanova, The Story of My Life

  • #6
    Giacomo Casanova
    “Here it is. You assume that I am rich; I am not. I shall have nothing once I have emptied my purse. You perhaps suppose that I am a man of high birth, and I am of a rank either lower than your own or equal to it. I have no talent which can earn money, no employment, no reason to be sure that I shall have anything to eat a few months hence. I have neither relatives nor friends nor rightful claims nor any settled plan. In short, all that I have is youth, health, courage, a modicum of intelligence, a sense of honor and of decency, with a little reading and the bare beginnings of a career in literature. My great treasure is that I am my own master, that I am not dependent upon anyone, and that I am not afraid of misfortunes. My nature tends toward extravagance. Such is the man I am. Now answer me, my beautiful Teresa.”
    Casanova Giacomo

  • #7

    “I slept with faith and found a corpse in my arms on awakening; I drank and danced all night with doubt and found her a virgin in the morning.”
    Aleister Crowley, The Book of Lies

    “Desire is the kind of thing that
    eats you
    and
    leaves you starving.”
    Nayyirah Waheed

  • #12
    Haruki Murakami
    “I wasn't in love with her. And she didn't love me. For me the question of love was irrelevant. What I sought was the sense of being tossed about by some raging, savage force, in the midst of which lay something absolutely crucial. I had no idea what that was. But I wanted to thrust my hand right inside her body and touch it, whatever it was.”
    Haruki Murakami, South of the Border, West of the Sun

    Osho
    “In love the other is important; in lust you are important”
    Osho

    Charles Baudelaire
    Le serpent qui danse

    Que j'aime voir, chère indolente,
    De ton corps si beau,
    Comme une étoffe vacillante,
    Miroiter la peau!

    Sur ta chevelure profonde
    Aux acres parfums,
    Mer odorante et vagabonde
    Aux flots bleus et bruns,

    Comme un navire qui s'éveille
    Au vent du matin,
    Mon âme rêveuse appareille
    Pour un ciel lointain.

    Tes yeux où rien ne se révèle
    De doux ni d'amer,
    Sont deux bijoux froids où se mêlent
    L’or avec le fer.

    A te voir marcher en cadence,
    Belle d'abandon,
    On dirait un serpent qui danse
    Au bout d'un bâton.

    Sous le fardeau de ta paresse
    Ta tête d'enfant
    Se balance avec la mollesse
    D’un jeune éléphant,

    Et ton corps se penche et s'allonge
    Comme un fin vaisseau
    Qui roule bord sur bord et plonge
    Ses vergues dans l'eau.

    Comme un flot grossi par la fonte
    Des glaciers grondants,
    Quand l'eau de ta bouche remonte
    Au bord de tes dents,

    Je crois boire un vin de bohême,
    Amer et vainqueur,
    Un ciel liquide qui parsème
    D’étoiles mon coeur!”
    Charles Baudelaire, Les Fleurs du Mal

    Amaka Imani Nkosazana
    “It's good to see the snakes revealing themselves. They weren't actually hidden at all. People hide behind the masks, but eventually you see them for who they truly are.”
    Amaka Imani Nkosazana, Heart Crush

  • #16
    “I'd rather meander through a pit of vipers than love one more person, but since I'm on the subject of snakes, we all know one, or are one.”
    Donna Lynn Hope

  • #17
    Roman Payne
    “The ‘Muse’ is not an artistic mystery, but a mathematical equation. The gift are those ideas you think of as you drift to sleep. The giver is that one you think of when you first awake.”
    Roman Payne

  • #18
    Plato
    “There is also a third kind of madness, which is possession by the Muses, enters into a delicate and virgin soul, and there inspiring frenzy, awakens lyric....But he, who, not being inspired and having no touch of madness in his soul, comes to the door and thinks he will get into the temple by the help of art--he, I say, and his poetry are not admitted; the sane man is nowhere at all when he enters into rivalry with the madman.”
    Plato, Phaedo

  • #19
    Kerry Greenwood
    “If I ever saw my muse she would be an old woman with a tight bun and spectacles poking me in the middle of the back and growling, "Wake up and write the book!”
    Kerry Greenwood

  • #20
    Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
    “Today I'm out wandering, turning my skull
    into a cup for others to drink wine from.
    In this town somewhere there sits a calm, intelligent man,
    who doesn't know what he's about to do!”
    Jelalludin Rumi

  • #21
    Kamand Kojouri
    “I do not write about love
    as if I have invented it.
    I write about love
    because thoughts of you
    inspire self-forgetfulness.
    And because writing about you
    gives birth to a star.
    These stars sit inside me
    where there was once
    darkness.”
    Kamand Kojouri

  • #22
    Debatrayee Banerjee
    “What if you lose your muse?
    Your mind will keep searching for an unknown palm, an empty core of clustered starry moisture, a broken harmony of a long lost song.
    Your heart will trample across moments, scattered here and there hoping to smile through a blank verse, an unmade sculpture, a void cosmos walking through a violet sky.
    And your soul?
    That, a sparkle of a crimson sun will dance along the glitter of a fragmentary dream, and in a love that clutches you in transience of an eternity, hold your breath in a paradise of a vibrant vision, and there you will find your muse again, once again.
    So what if you lose your muse?”
    Debatrayee Banerjee

    “She is a sunflower! She brings hope to people.”
    Avijeet Das

  • #24
    “The true taste of a woman is not in her body or beauty, it's in her sensual energy.”
    Lebo Grand

  • #25
    Avijeet Das
    “You are my addiction
    You are my muse
    My worst distraction
    My poetry & hues”
    Avijeet Das

  • #26
    R.M. Engelhardt
    “Poetry Is The Language Of Mysticism &
    Discourse. It Is The Whisper In The Dark,
    The Shadow In The Light. Poetry Is An Incantation From The Depths Of Your Very Soul.”
    R.M. Engelhardt, The Resurrection Waltz Poems R.M. Engelhardt

  • #27

    “Wild fires blaze within her soul,
    there's where all her passion rises from...”
    Avijeet Das

    Avijeet Das
    “Wild fires blaze within her soul,
    there's where all her passions rise from...”
    Avijeet Das

  • #29
    Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
    “Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.”
    Kurt Vonnegut

  • #30
    John Grisham
    “Don't compromise yourself - you're all you have.”
    John Grisham, The Rainmaker
