  But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep

Quote of the Day

The greatest weapon anyone can use against us is our own mind. By preying on the doubts and uncertainties that already lurk there. Are we true to ourselves or do we live for the expectations of others? and if we are open and honest...can we ever truly be loved? Can we find the courage to release our deepest secrets...or in the end, are we all unknowable? even to ourselves.

Pilgrim

Pretty, pretty things

Quote of the Day

It was completely fruitless to quarrel with the world, whereas the quarrel oneself was occasionally fruitfull and always, she had to admit, interesting.

Soeren Kierkegaard

Quote of the Day

Experience is a brutal teacher, but you learn. My God, do you learn.

Again and Again

Again and again, however we know the landscape of love
and the little churchyard there, with its sorrowing names,
and the frighteningly silent abyss into which the others
fall: again and again the two of us walk out together
under the ancient trees, lie down again and again
among the flowers, face to face with the sky. 


by R.M. Rilke

Quotes I Fancy 6

by Rainer Maria Rilke


For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation. 


I hold this to be the highest task for a bond between two people: that each protects the solitude of the other. 


Let life happen to you. Believe me: life is in the right, always.


Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other. 


There are no classes in life for beginners; right away you are always asked to deal with what is most difficult. 


This is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love: the more they give, the more they possess. 

Quote of the Day

Doesn't have to be easy to be right.

Quote of the Day

Gifts...it is in the eye of the recipient that they find their seat, not in the hand of the giver.

Quotes I Fancy 5

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Quote of the Day

My only love sprung from my only hate!
Too early seen unknown, and known too late!
Prodigious birth of love it is to me
That I must love a loathèd enemy.

Romeo And Juliet Act 1, scene 5, 134–141

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

A Time To Talk

When a friend calls to me from the road
And slows his horse to a meaning walk,
I don't stand still and look around
On all the hills I haven't hoed,
And shout from where I am, What is it?
No, not as there is a time to talk.
I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground,
Blade-end up and five feet tall,
And plod: I go up to the stone wall
For a friendly visit.

Quotes I Fancy 5

Between the fear that something would happen and the hope that still it wouldn't, there is much more space than one thinks. On that narrow, hard, bare and dark space a lot of us spend their lives.
Ivo Andric 


Searching for what I need, and I don't even know precisely what that is, I was going from a man to a man, and I saw that all of them together have less than me who has nothing, and that I left to each of them a bit of that what I don't have and I've been searching for.
Ivo Andric 


What can and doesn't have to be always, at the end, surrenders to something that has to be.

Quotes I Fancy 4

Thinking must never submit itself,
neither to a dogma,
nor to a party, 
nor to a passion,
nor to an interest,
nor to a preconceived idea,
nor to a anything whatsoever,
except to the facts themselves,
because for it to submit to anything else would be the end of its existence.
