“I love
all things,
not because they are passionate or sweet-smelling
but because,
I don't know,
because
this ocean is yours,
and mine:
these buttons
and wheels
and little
forgotten
treasures,
fans upon
whose feathers
love has scattered
its blossoms,
glasses, knives and
scissors --
all bear
the trace
of someone's fingers
on their handle or surface,
the trace of a distant hand
lost
in the depths of forgetfulness.”
― Pablo Neruda

“I cried in English, I cried in french, I cried in all the languages, because tears are the same all around the world.”
― Miranda July, No One Belongs Here More Than You

“When you love you should not think you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.”
― Khalil Gibran

“Then love knew it was called love.
And when I lifted my eyes to your name,
suddenly your heart showed me my way”
― Pablo Neruda, Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada. Cien sonetos de amor
