“…the price of a poet
Is to learn the value of vulnerability
That means less testosterone
And more tranquility
Sacrifice the instant gratification
For longevity not depravity
Then substitute forgiveness
For the reason why you’re mad at me
We hold ourselves down
While we blame it on gravity
Because we lack the knowledge of self
And that is the greatest tragedy…”

Don't know if this is a general favourite quotes thread, but...

I would like to be the air
that inhabits you for a moment
only. I would like to be that unnoticed
& that necessary.


Go Margaret Atwood, Go.

I have another.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. "

- Marianne Williamson.
