... love it ... Stendhal

"I am trying extremely hard to be dry. My heart thinks it has so much to say, but I try to keep it quiet. I am continually beset by the fear that I may have expressed only a sigh when I thought I was stating the truth."

Stendhal

Heart is a lonely hunter

" The day we stop resisting our instincts,

we´ll have learned how to live."

Federico García Lorca

... overcome ...

"The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering."

Ben Okri - Poet

... kindly ones ...

"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it?

It makes you so vulnerable.

It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses. You build up a whole armor, for years, so nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life... You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore.

Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' or 'how very perceptive' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. Nothing should be able to do that. Especially not love. I hate love."

Neil Gaiman

... you over there ...

"Do you think love is a trick nature plays on us to bring more screaming babies into the world or do you think it is everything... The only meaning there is to this crazy dream?"

Bradley in The Feast of love

... feast of love ...

"They say that when the Greek gods were bored,

they invented human beings, but they were still bored.

So, they invented love. That wasn’t boring ...

so they tried it on themselves.

Finally, they invented laughter, so they could stand it.”

The feast of love - Charles Baxter
