"She saw the light again. With some irony in her interrogation, for when one woke at all, one's relations changed, she looked at the steady light, the pitiless, the remorseless, which was so much her, yet so little her, which had her at its beck and call (she woke in the night and saw it bent across their bed, stroking the floor), but for all that she thought, watching it with fascination, hypnotised, as if it were stroking with its silver fingers some sealed vessel in her brain whose bursting would flood her with delight, she had known happiness, exquisite happiness, intense happiness, and it silvered the rough waves a little more brightly, as daylight faded, and the blue went out of the sea and it rolled in waves of pure lemon which curved and swelled and broke upon the beach and the ecstasy burst in her eyes and waves of pure delight raced over the floor of her mind and she felt, It is enough! It is enough! "
 
Let us be grateful to people who make us happy: They are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

Desire makes everything blossom; possession makes everything wither and fade.

Marcel Proust

Complete saftey is under the water. Drown, just like Virgina.

Nothing but a white lotus is left on the surface of the water... Maybe nothing at all, not even a small ripple.
 
...Ask yourself my love whether you are not very cruel to have so entrammelled me, so destroyed my freedom
-John Keats to Fanny Braune

i like it because it sounds so beautiful
 
Insanity in individuals is something rare - but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule. - Friedrich Nietzsche

It is hard enough to remember my opinions, without also remembering my reasons for them! - Friedrich Nietzsche
 
Even the fear of death is nothing compared to the fear of not having lived authentically and fully. ----------Frances Moore Lappe

I do not want people to be agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them. Jane Austen

Where so many hours have been spent in convincing myself that I am right, is there not some reason to fear I may be wrong?
Jane Austen

It does rather!

My favourite quote at the moment is "I am a cook myself, and I cook better than I cook, if you see what I mean." from Tolkien's The Hobbit

I found another quote I really like:

"Who wakes in the wilderness when night is done
Fancying himself lord of all the land
May see what was not there at the set of the sun
 And tremblingly will come to understand
The peril that has passed him in the dark–
 Tracks... in the sand."

-Archibald Rutledge
 
''The past is but the beginning of a beginning, all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn'.... H. G. Wells
I like that one.
