Pain is something to master, not to wallow in.
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source.
You carry away with you a reflection of me, a part of me. I dreamed you; I wished for your existence. You will always be a part of my life. If I love you, it must be because we shared, at some moment, the same imaginings, the same madness, the same stage.
When your beauty struck me, it dissolved me. Deep down, I am not different from you. I dreamed you, I wished for your existence. I see in you that part of me which is you. I surrender my sincerity because if I love you it means we share the same fantasies, we share the same madness.
We write to taste life twice, in the moment, and in retrospection.
Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be...including our perception. Of it
From the backstabbing co-worker to the meddling sister-in-law, you are in charge of how you react to the people and events in your life. You can either give negativity power over your life or you can choose happiness instead. Take control and choose to focus on what is important in your life. Those who cannot live fully often become destroyers of life.
You don't find love, it finds you. It's got a little bit to do with destiny, fate, and what's written in the stars.
I don't tell the truth any more to those who can't make use of it. I tell it mostly to myself, because it always changes me.
When one is pretending the entire body revolts.
I don't hear your words: your voice reverberates against my body like another kind of caress, another kind of penetration. I have no power over your voice. It comes straight from you into me. I could stuff my ears and it would find its way into my blood and make it rise.
Write. Write until it stops hurting.
We are all engaged in the task of peeling off the false selves, the programmed selves, the selves created by our families, our culture, our religions. It is an enormous task because the history of women has been as incompletely told as the history of blacks.
Stories are the only enchantment possible, for when we begin to see our suffering as a story, we are saved.
The real wonders of life lie in the depths. Exploring the depths for truths is the real wonder which the child and the artist know: magic and power lie in truth.
How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself.
I want to do things so wild with you that I don't know how to say them.
Through love, through friendship, a heart lives more than one life.
For you and for me the highest moment, the keenest joy, is not when our minds dominate but when we lose our minds, and you and I both lose it in the same way, through love.
Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.
You are the poet, you walk inside my dreams.
Compassion for our parents is the true sign of maturity.
Introspection is a devouring monster.
We also write to heighten our own awareness of life... We write to taste life twice, in the moment, and in retrospection... We write to be able to transcend our life, to reach beyond it...to teach ourselves to speak with others, to record the journey into the labyrinth. We write to expand our world when we feel strangled, or constricted, or lonely... When I don't write, I feel my world shrinking... I feel I lose my fire and my color.
