Hello all! I've been abundantly blessed by my virtual coffee chats with so many of you in this wonderful forum on Books and Literature! (The Relationship forum is fun too, but this is where inspiration comes from... "the stuff dreams are made of" )
Anyways... We all have favorite quotes, quotes that have touched a chord in our hearts and minds, quotes that have influenced our decisions, inspired us to go that extra mile, give us courage to face the day, and shown us what real living is like.
Lets share these divine inspirations with our little world here - on this little posting. I'll start with one of my all-time favorites....
Being a star-gazer myself and being the proud owner of a tempestuous personal history, this is one of my favorites - it reminds me that no matter what is swirling around me at a given time, I can get through it.
"The most tempestuous wind cannot disturb the quiet of the stars."

If you don't make mistakes, you're not working on hard enough problems. And that's a big mistake.
Love, love, love - all the wretched cant of it, masking egotism, lust, masochism, fantasy under a mythology of sentimental postures.
So, like a forgotten fire, a childhood can always flare up again within us.
You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair.
I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on man unless they act.
Never drive faster than your guardian angel can fly. (one I'm reminded of daily) Maybe I need a faster angel
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction.
- E. F. Schumacher
Never argue with a fool. Someone watching may not be able to tell the difference.

Sometimes I need what only you can provide: your absence.

I'm not crazy, my reality is just different than yours.

It's hard to try and give your heart to someone when the last person you gave it to is still breaking it and won't give it back.
Everyone is always asking me what’s wrong, but I don’t even think it makes any sense, its just... my heart hurts.
And I hate that every time the phone rings... I want so badly for it to be you.
After all this time you still have this amazing power to make me feel absolutely crazy each time I see you.
I need you. I need that guy who can make me laugh just by the way he says hello when I pick up the phone, the guy who makes my hands shake when I'm sitting next to him, and the guy who isn't afraid to keep hugging me when I'm not ready to let go yet.
It's weird, yeah I miss you, but it's so much more then that. I miss the way my heart stopped at just the sight of you and that smile. The sad part about it is your smile isn't the only one that I'm missing. I miss my own, the one that's only there when yours is.
I can't breathe. It’s like this love I have is suddenly being overpowered by this pain I feel of him not loving me back.
Sometimes I feel like the heart and mind play tricks on each other. That just when you have got yourself convinced with one that something is what you want, the other steps in and makes you feel nothing but doubt.
