It’s not that we have to quit this life one day, but it’s how many things we have to quit all at once: music, laughter, the physics of falling leaves, automobiles, holding hands, the scent of rain, the concept of subway trains... if only one could leave this life slowly! ↗

There is more beauty than our eyes can bear, precious things have been put into our hands and to do nothing to honor them is to do great harm. ↗

Womanhood is a wonderful thing. In womankind we find the mothers of the race.There is no man so great, nor none sunk so low, but once he lay a helpless, innocent babe in a woman's arms and was dependent on her love and care for his existence. It is woman who rocks the cradle of the world and holds the first affections of mankind. She possesses a power beyond that of a king on his throne. ...Womanhood stands for all that is pure and clean and noble. She who does not make the world better for having lived in it has failed to be all that a woman should be. ↗

We are all wonderful, beautiful wrecks. That's what connects us--that we're all broken, all beautifully imperfect. ↗

It's amazing how quickly nature consumes human places after we turn our backs on them. Life is a hungry thing. ↗

When in doubt, be simple. Your life purpose should be an easy target to conceive sometimes all it takes is a simple act of courage to get you there. ↗

What is Life? Life is Love. Enjoy it. Life is Beauty.  Praise it. Life is Spirit.  Realise it. Life is Song. Sing it. Life is a Mystery.  Unfold it. Life is a Challenge.  Meet it. Life is a Goal.  Achieve it. Life is an Adventure.  Dare it. Life is a Sorrow. Overcome it. Life is a Tragedy.  Face it. Life is a Game.  Play it. Life is a Duty.  Perform it. Life is an Opportunity.  Take it. Life is a Struggle.  Fight it. Life is a Journey.  Complete it. Life is a Puzzle.  Solve it. Life is a Promise.  Fulfil it.   ↗

Religion is like language or dress. We gravitate toward the practices with which we were raised. In the end, though, we are all proclaiming the same thing. That life has meaning. That we are grateful for the power that created us. ↗
