"They say life passes by quickly. And it does, so live slowly. Bask in the sunlight. Kiss your lover for a little bit longer. Savor each moment that darts past you."

"Paint, because you can. Write, because you can. Dance, because you can. Don’t waste your talent on self-doubt and self-consciousness. You are gifted for the sake of art."

"Don’t wait for it. Create a world, your world. Alone. Stand alone. Create. And then the love will come to you, then it comes to you."

"dalliance"
(noun) As one of the most beautiful words in the English dictionary,dalliance is defined as a brief love affair, a flirtation or a fleeting love. A dalliance also has connotations of amorous toying, example flirting without mindfulness and stringing a person along. Inevitably, Gatsby’s ephemeral relationship with Daisy in The Great Gatsby comes forth in our mind. Though the word dalliance is delicately beautiful, its meaning is quite bittersweet; Daisy’s selfish, coquettish nature led to Gatsby’s demise. What we have learned is that a dalliance with the presence of unrequited love is lethal.

“Our whole spiritual transformation brings us to the point where we realize that in our own being, we are enough.”
Ram Dass
"Deserve it, then.
Take the cold bath bravely.
Enjoy what is and not pine for what is not.
Take yourself in hand and master yourself.
Make yourself do unpleasant things, so as to gain the upper hand of your soul.
Be honest, frank and fearless and get some grasp of the real values of life."
W.E.B. Du Bois, in a 1914 letter to his daughter (via carpethedamndiem)
