“I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.”
― Robert A. Heinlein

“Soul Mates

I don’t know how you are so familiar to me—or why it feels less like I am getting to know you and more as though I am remembering who you are. How every smile, every whisper brings me closer to the impossible conclusion that I have known you before, I have loved you before—in another time, a different place, some other existence.”
― Lang Leav

“Souls"
When two souls fall in love, there is nothing else but the
yearning to be close to the other. The presence that is felt
through a hand held, a voice heard, or a smile seen.

Souls do not have calendars or clocks, nor do they understand
the notion of time or distance. They only know it feels right to
be with one another.

This is the reason why you miss someone so much when they
are not there— even if they are only in the very next room.
Your soul only feels their absence— it doesn’t realize the
separation is temporary.”
― Lang Leav

“Love is a game
of tic-tac-toe,
constantly waiting
for the next x or o.”
― Lang Leav

“Le jour où je me suis aimé pour de vrai,

J’ai compris qu'en toutes circonstances,

J’étais à la bonne place, au bon moment.

Et alors, j'ai pu me relaxer.

Aujourd'hui je sais que cela s'appelle...

l'Estime de soi.


Le jour où je me suis aimé pour de vrai,

J’ai pu percevoir que mon anxiété et ma souffrance émotionnelle

N’étaient rien d'autre qu'un signal

Lorsque je vais à l'encontre de mes convictions.

Aujourd'hui je sais que cela s'appelle... l'Authenticité.


Le jour où je me suis aimé pour de vrai,

J'ai cessé de vouloir une vie différente

Et j'ai commencé à voir que tout ce qui m'arrive

Contribue à ma croissance personnelle.

Aujourd'hui, je sais que cela s'appelle... la Maturité.


Le jour où je me suis aimé pour de vrai,

J’ai commencé à percevoir l'abus

Dans le fait de forcer une situation ou une personne,

Dans le seul but d'obtenir ce que je veux,

Sachant très bien que ni la personne ni moi-même

Ne sommes prêts et que ce n'est pas le moment...

Aujourd'hui, je sais que cela s'appelle... le Respect.


Le jour où je me suis aimé pour de vrai,

J’ai commencé à me libérer de tout ce qui n'était pas salutaire, personnes,

situations, tout ce qui baissait mon énergie.

Au début, ma raison appelait cela de l'égoïsme.

Aujourd'hui, je sais que cela s'appelle... l'Amour propre.


Le jour où je me suis aimé pour de vrai,

J’ai cessé d'avoir peur du temps libre

Et j'ai arrêté de faire de grands plans,

J’ai abandonné les méga-projets du futur.

Aujourd'hui, je fais ce qui est correct, ce que j'aime

Quand cela me plait et à mon rythme.

Aujourd'hui, je sais que cela s'appelle... la Simplicité.


Le jour où je me suis aimé pour de vrai,

J’ai cessé de chercher à avoir toujours raison,

Et je me suis rendu compte de toutes les fois où je me suis trompé.

Aujourd'hui, j'ai découvert ... l'Humilité.


Le jour où je me suis aimé pour de vrai,

J’ai cessé de revivre le passé

Et de me préoccuper de l'avenir.

Aujourd'hui, je vis au présent,

Là où toute la vie se passe.

Aujourd'hui, je vis une seule journée à la fois.

Et cela s'appelle... la Plénitude.


Le jour où je me suis aimé pour de vrai,

J’ai compris que ma tête pouvait me tromper et me décevoir.

Mais si je la mets au service de mon coeur,

Elle devient une alliée très précieuse !

Tout ceci, c'est... le Savoir vivre.


Nous ne devons pas avoir peur de nous confronter.


Du chaos naissent les étoiles.”
― Charlie Chaplin

“my lips never know my problem they just always smile”
― charlie chaplin

“L'union libre [Freedom of Love]"

My wife with the hair of a wood fire
With the thoughts of heat lightning
With the waist of an hourglass
With the waist of an otter in the teeth of a tiger
My wife with the lips of a cockade and of a bunch of stars of the last magnitude
With the teeth of tracks of white mice on the white earth
With the tongue of rubbed amber and glass
My wife with the tongue of a stabbed host
With the tongue of a doll that opens and closes its eyes
With the tongue of an unbelievable stone
My wife with the eyelashes of strokes of a child's writing
With brows of the edge of a swallow's nest
My wife with the brow of slates of a hothouse roof
And of steam on the panes
My wife with shoulders of champagne
And of a fountain with dolphin-heads beneath the ice
My wife with wrists of matches
My wife with fingers of luck and ace of hearts
With fingers of mown hay
My wife with armpits of marten and of beechnut
And of Midsummer Night
Of privet and of an angelfish nest
With arms of seafoam and of riverlocks
And of a mingling of the wheat and the mill
My wife with legs of flares
With the movements of clockwork and despair
My wife with calves of eldertree pith
My wife with feet of initials
With feet of rings of keys and Java sparrows drinking
My wife with a neck of unpearled barley
My wife with a throat of the valley of gold
Of a tryst in the very bed of the torrent
With breasts of night
My wife with breasts of a marine molehill
My wife with breasts of the ruby's crucible
With breasts of the rose's spectre beneath the dew
My wife with the belly of an unfolding of the fan of days
With the belly of a gigantic claw
My wife with the back of a bird fleeing vertically
With a back of quicksilver
With a back of light
With a nape of rolled stone and wet chalk
And of the drop of a glass where one has just been drinking
My wife with hips of a skiff
With hips of a chandelier and of arrow-feathers
And of shafts of white peacock plumes
Of an insensible pendulum
My wife with buttocks of sandstone and asbestos
My wife with buttocks of swans' backs
My wife with buttocks of spring
With the sex of an iris
My wife with the sex of a mining-placer and of a platypus
My wife with a sex of seaweed and ancient sweetmeat
My wife with a sex of mirror
My wife with eyes full of tears
With eyes of purple panoply and of a magnetic needle
My wife with savanna eyes
My wife with eyes of water to he drunk in prison
My wife with eyes of wood always under the axe
My wife with eyes of water-level of level of air earth and fire”
― Andre Breton, Poems of André Breton: A Bilingual Anthology

“Un mot et tout est perdu, un mot et tout est sauvé.”
― Andre Breton

“Over and above the various prejudices I acknowledge, the affinities I feel, the attractions I succumb to, the events which occur to me and to me alone- over and above a sum of movements I am conscious of making, of emotions I alone experience- I strive, in relation to other men, to discover the nature, if not the necessity, of my difference from them. Is it not precisely to the degree I become conscious of this difference that I shall recognize what I alone have been put on this earth to do, what unique message I alone may bear, so that I alone can answer for its fate?”
― Andre Breton

“My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength.”

“Sometimes you will never know the value of something,until it becomes a memory.”
― Dr. Seuss

“The worst part of holding the memories is not the pain. It's the loneliness of it. Memories need to be shared.”
― Lois Lowry, The Giver

“Listen to the people who love you. Believe that they are worth living for even when you don't believe it. Seek out the memories depression takes away and project them into the future. Be brave; be strong; take your pills. Exercise because it's good for you even if every step weighs a thousand pounds. Eat when food itself disgusts you. Reason with yourself when you have lost your reason.”
― Andrew Solomon, The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression

“It's far better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone — so far.”

― Amy Sedaris, I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence

― Shel Silverstein

“If you are a dreamer come in
If you are a dreamer a wisher a liar
A hoper a pray-er a magic-bean-buyer
If youre a pretender com sit by my fire
For we have some flax golden tales to spin
Come in!
Come in!”
― Shel Silverstein
