Julia

“And what is a kiss, specifically? A pledge properly sealed, a promise seasoned to taste, a vow stamped with the immediacy of a lip, a rosy circle drawn around the verb 'to love.' A kiss is a message too intimate for the ear, infinity captured in the bee's brief visit to a flower, secular communication with an aftertaste of heaven, the pulse rising from the heart to utter its name on a lover's lip: 'Forever.”
― Edmond Rostand, Cyrano de Bergerac

“I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the Heart's affections and the truth of the Imagination.”
― John Keats

“Présente je vous fuis; absente, je vous trouve;
Dans le fond des forêts votre image me suit”
― Racine, Phèdre

“The eyes of others our prisons; their thoughts our cages.”
― Virginia Woolf
