Love for quotes

I loooove quotes, not alone, and I wanted to share one that I thought my fellow Pisceans would appreciate. I'm in love with it.

"Poetry is an ECHO, asking a SHADOW to dance." - Carl Sandburg

Ahhhhh, love.

I also have a HUGE love for quotes. My friend made a quote book for me for my birthday that I have yet to recieve. But here are one of my favorite quotes from john lennon: "A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality." Another one: "I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?" They're kind of pisces themed. I have a zillion I love, I'm sure I'll be back filling the thread up.

Some Zora Neale Hurston quotes:
—Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place.??
—I have been in Sorrow's kitchen and licked out all the pots. Then I have stood on the peaky mountain wrapped in rainbows, with a harp and sword in my hands.??

Carl Jung qoutes:
"Nobody, as long as he moves about among the chaotic currents of life, is without trouble."
"The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed."

- Charles Dickens

"We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are."
~ Anais Nin

"Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage."
- Maya Angelou

"A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?"
- Albert Einstein

I love Anais Nin, too. I also love your picture mystic fish 🙂

_"Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." -Through the Looking Glass

_"Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born." Anais Nin

Something I wish all those guys out there that are so scared to be the "bad guy" would realize

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to manifest the glory that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
-Nelson Mandela

Yes! I love that! My friend sent it to me a few years ago and I printed it out and gave it to a few of the ladies at my job. Everyone was in such a great mood that day... =)

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed." -Albert Einstein
