" I hold this to be true the highest task for a bond between two people; that each partner protects the solitude of the other"
"Do not assume that she who seeks to comfort you now, lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. Her life may also have much sadness and difficulty, that remains far beyond yours. Were it otherwise, she would never have been able to find these words."

By all means marry. If you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

I've thought of that... so many days I need a quote that appeared "somewhere" in this thread.. . I end up looking for it... and getting distracted!

Well, I'm new to AMHD, but I've loved browsing through all of these great quotes. These are some of my favorites. Sorry if I'm repeating anything!
"Even a drop of love can create an ocean of tears."
"Sometimes we can't see clearly until our eyes have been washed with tears."

"Do not expect of others, what you yourself are not willing to do."
"Passion is the source of our finest moments; the joy of love, the clarity of hatred, and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion, maybe we'd know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow...Without passion, we'd be truly dead." Angel on Buffy the Vampire Slayer

And since a while back, HC said that song lyrics could be included, this is one of my favorite songs that has helped me to gain a greater appreciation for a certain friend that I have been blessed with in my life.
Be That Friend by Michael McLean
Well, your friends know what's right, and your friends know what's wrong,
And your friends all know sometimes it's hard to choose.
But the friend who helps you see where the choices will lead,
Is the kind of friend you never want to lose.
It's the friend who leads with love, doesn't push, doesn't shove,
Just reminds you of the truth you've always known.
Then does more than just talk, takes your hand and starts to walk
By your side along the road that leads back home.
And this friend seems to see all the great things you'll be
Even when some things you do would prove him wrong.
But he always believes that the real you he sees
Is a champion he's simply cheering on.
And the love that you feel from a friend that's this real
Is as powerful as anything on earth.
For it lifts and it grows and it strengthens and it flows
It's what allows a soul to feel just what they're worth.
So many lonely souls are calling, and our brightest stars would not be falling
If only they had a friend, a real friend.
Ev'ryone hopes to find one true friend who's the kind
They can count on for forever and a day.
Be that friend, be that kind that you've prayed you might find,
And you'll always have a best friend come what may.
God will not look you over for medals, degrees or diplomas, but for scars. ~Elbert Hubbard
A pessimist sees only the dark side of the clouds, and mopes; a philosopher sees both sides, and shrugs; an optimist doesn't see the clouds at all - he's walking on them. ~Leonard Louis Levinson

What actually makes poetry poetry is of course impossible to define. We recognize it when we hear it, when we see it, but we can't define it.

I don't think poetry is something that can be taught. We can encourage young writers, but what you can't teach them is the very essence of poetry.

Just struck a sweet chord with me since I love poetry. I have a question and maybe you would want to answer via PM rather than on this thread... since this is mainly just for the quotes but poems that need to be read with a certain pattern of tone in the voice or inflection in the voice... what do you think on that subject? Dark poetry needs to be read differently than poems of fantasy or specific to one's celebration of birthdays, anniversaries, etc.
Oh , I agree but J I have never taken a class in regards to poetry(h.s junior English class) so all I have is the "laymans experience" but when I read, I always read in a monotonous tone, and then reread as I feel it should be read after the words speak to me. Also when I write I just start writing sometimes my first line will end up with as being the last line. I just like to write no ryhme or reason only what I feel at the moment, lol maybe it shows.
Recently I found a site that tells about different types of poetry, I thought it may be fun to try and match up some of my poems to the different styles(if possible) or try to write from their description. however that would take discipline and may take out some of the creativity of writing. That is where I got the idea of writing Ode To My Flowers... that turned out pretty well so maybe a little structured creativity can be a good thing.Shadow Poetry -- Resources -- Types of Poetry
Hopefully I answered your question... I do tend to ramble...
"Enemies are the only ones who will be truly honest with you. Friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty." I don't agree with that in all situations, but it does have some truth to it.
