This is what love does: It makes you want to rewrite the world. It makes you want to choose the characters, build the scenery, guide the plot. The person you love sits across from you, and you want to do everything in your power to make it possible, endlessly possible. And when it?s just the two of you, alone in a room, you can pretend that this is how it is, this is how it will be.

Of Ruin and Renewal
We are souls
Of ruin and renewal
Sorting through the rubble
Of our painful past.
We are souls
Of ruin and renewal
Waiting for the dust
To settle at last
We are souls
Of ruin and renewal
Searching for eyes that see us
And walk through the debris
We are souls
Of ruin and renewal,
We rebuild, we revive,
We repurpose our own story.
— Liz Newman, Of Ruin and Renewal: Poems For Rebuilding
All the things we blame on the heart. But love is not blind.
— spoken silence
Inspirations never go in for long engagements; they demand immediate marriage to action.
— Brendan Francis Brown
I’ll be inside the one who holds you. And then I won’t be.
— Francesca Lia Block, Wasteland
When life starts to hurt, People start to ignore, Luck starts to blame and the Hard work starts to beat then sit for the complete set of gyming. And start to doubt yourself, hate yourself, blame yourself and make strong yourself because you’re the only inspiration of yourself.
— Raj Kumar Koochitani
Forbearance in the face of fate, beauty constant under torture, are not merely passive. They are a positive achievement, an explicit triumph.
— Thomas Mann, Death in Venice and Other Tales
God does not accommodate!
God is Holy and we must demand that any effort in His name must manifest the integrity of His nature as anything less than this is not worthy of His majesty, awesomeness, and holiness.
— John M. Sheehan
You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection

Keep reading. Keep researching. Keep writing.

Everywhere we shine death and life burn into something new?

Novelty and Security: the security of novelty, the novelty of security. Always the full thing, the whole subject, the true subject, stood just behind the one you found yourself contemplating. The trick, but it wasn’t a trick, was to take up at once the thing you saw and the reason you saw it as well; to always bite off more than you could chew, and then chew it. If it were self-indulgence for him to cut and polish his semiprecious memories, and yet seem like danger, like a struggle he was unfit for, then self-indulgence was a potent force, he must examine it, he must reckon with it.
— John Crowley, Novelty: Four Stories
