• Find a day for yourself-better yet, late at night. Go to the forest or to the field, or lock yourself in a room ... You will meet solitude there. There you will be able to listen attentively to the noise of the wind first, to birds singing, to see wonderful nature and to notice yourself in it ... and to come back to harmonic connection with the world and its Creator.

  Nachman of Breslov

• To despair over one's sins indicates that sin has become or wants to be internally consistent. It wants nothing to do with the good, does not want to be so weak as to listen occasionally to other talk. No, it insists on listening only to itself, on having dealings only with itself; it closes itself up within itself, indeed, locks itself inside one more inclosure, and protects itself against every attack or pursuit by the good by despairing over sin.

  Soren Kierkegaard

• Rise and put on your foliage, and be seen
  To come forth, like the spring-time, fresh and green,
  And sweet as Flora. Take no care
  For jewels for your gown or hair
  Fear not; the leaves will strew
  Gems in abundance upon you
  Besides, the childhood of the day has kept,
  Against you come, some orient pearls unwept.
  Come, and receive them while the light
  Hangs on the dew-locks of the night
  And Titan on the eastern hill
  Retires himself, or else stands still
  Till you come forth! Wash, dress, be brief in praying
  Few beads are best when once we go a-Maying.

  Robert Herrick

• Spring's last-born darling, clear-eyed, sweet,
  Pauses a moment, with white twinkling feet,
  And golden locks in breezy play,
  Half teasing and half tender, to repeat
  Her song of May.

  Sarah Chauncey Woolsey

  Song, Sweet, Spring

• You say I have the most wicked face of any woman. You say my hair is like the serpent locks of Medusa, that my eyes have the cruel cunning of Borgia, that my mouth is the mouth of the sinister scheming Delilah, that my hands are like the talons of a Circe or the blood-bathing Elizabeth Bathory. And then you ask me of my soul—you wish to know if it is reflected in my face.

• You suppose you are the trouble
  But you are the cure
  You suppose that you are the lock on the door
  But you are the key that opens it
  It's too bad that you want to be someone else
  You don't see your own face, your own beauty
  Yet, no face is more beautiful than yours.

  Rumi
