F. Scott Fitzgerald

Gabriel García Márquez
“nothing in this world was more difficult than love.”

Lao Tzu
“Love

Embracing Tao, you become embraced.
Supple, breathing gently, you become reborn.
Clearing your vision, you become clear.
Nurturing your beloved, you become impartial.
Opening your heart, you become accepted.
Accepting the World, you embrace Tao.
Bearing and nurturing,
Creating but not owning,
Giving without demanding,
Controlling without authority,
This is love.”
Laozi, The Teachings of Lao-Tzu: The Tao-Te Ching
