Relationships

“Relationships are never about power, 

and one way to avoid the will to power 

is to choose to limit oneself - to serve.”

~ Wm. Paul Young, The Shack

You Will Have

“You will have five hundred million little bells, 

and I shall have five hundred million springs of fresh water...”

~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince: Library Edition

In Love

“In love, women are professionals, men are amateurs”

~ François Truffaut

She Was Still Under The Spell

“She was still under the spell of her infatuation.

She had tried to forget him, 

realizing the inutility of remembering. 

But the thought of him was like an obsession, 

ever pressing itself upon her. 

It was not that she dwelt upon details of their acquaintance,

 or recalled in any special or peculiar way his personality; 

it was his being, his existence, which dominated her thought, 

fading sometimes as if it would melt into the mist of the forgotten, 

reviving again with an intensity which filled her 

with an incomprehensible longing.”

~ Kate Chopin, The Awakening

There's Never A Reason

“There's never a reason to trust someone.

If there's a reason, then it's not trust.”

~ Gerald Morris, The Quest of the Fair Unknown
