    Audrey Hepburn
    “The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.”
    Audrey Hepburn

    Anaïs Nin
    “We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another.

    Charles Bukowski
    “each man must realize
    that it can all disappear very
    quickly:
    the cat, the woman, the job,
    the front tire,
    the bed, the walls, the
    room; all our necessities
    including love,
    rest on foundations of sand —
    and any given cause,
    no matter how unrelated:
    the death of a boy in Hong Kong
    or a blizzard in Omaha . . .
    can serve as your undoing.
    all your chinaware crashing to the
    kitchen floor, your girl will enter
    and you'll be standing, drunk,
    in the center of it and she'll ask:
    my god, what's the matter?
    and you'll answer: I don't know,
    I don't know . . .

    — PULL A STRING, A PUPPET MOVES . . .”
    Charles Bukowski, Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame

    Thich Nhat Hanh, The Miracle of Mindfulness: An Introduction to the Practice of Meditation
