Mario Bramham

“I have perceiv’d that to be with those I like is enough,
To stop in company with the rest at evening is enough,
To be surrounded by beautiful, curious, breathing, laughing flesh is enough,
To pass among them, or touch any one, or rest my arm ever so lightly round his or her neck for a moment—what is this, then?
I do not ask any more delight—I swim in it, as in a sea.”
― Walt Whitman

― Charlotte Perkins Gilman, The Yellow Wallpaper

“You also know you’re surrendered when you don’t react to criticism and rush to defend yourself. Surrendered hearts show up best in relationships. You don’t edge others out, you don’t demand your rights, and you aren’t self-serving when you’re surrendered.”
― Rick Warren, The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth am I Here for?

“Instinct told Neil what to do. Training taught him how to do it. Calculated motion. Full awareness of the unman and his surroundings. No immediate threat to bystanders.”
― Steve Rush, Lethal Impulse
