The really important kind of freedom involves attention, and awareness, and discipline, and effort,  and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them, over and over, in myriad petty little unsexy ways, every day. – from This is Water by David Foster Wallace

Sometimes it seems that all my time is spent picking up the pieces of other people’s lives.

Love is not written on paper, for paper can be erased. Nor is it etched on stone, for stone can be broken. But it is inscribed on a heart and there it shall remain forever. – Anonymous

Waiting for that great big crazy love to come again…

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I’m alone
And so I tell myself that I’ll be strong
And dreaming when they’re gone.
lyrics from Lights by Ellie Goulding

I trust my inner light to lead me out of the darkness…

…that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
from Ulysses by Lord Tennyson

Embrace your inner Olympian.

© Khrystyna Kazakova

What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind…
from Ode: Intimations of Immortality by William Wordsworth

Still searching for strength in the ruins of what was a beautiful life – rest in peace.

And her lips opened amorously, and said-
I wist not what, saving one word – Delight.
And all her face was honey to my mouth,
And all her body pasture to mine eyes;
from Love and Sleep by Charles Swinburne
