I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long. If we're in each others dreams, we can be together all the time.
~ Hobbes (of Calvin and ...)
You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation...and that is called loving. Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else.
The face of a lover is an unknown, precisely because it is invested with so much of oneself. It is a mystery, containing, like all mysteries, the possibility of torment.
~ James Baldwin.
Love does not die easily. It is a living thing. It thrives in the face of all of life's hazards, save one -- neglect.
~ James D. Bryden.
