trace the outline of your lips with mine

“I've been told that people in the army do more by 7:00 am than I do in an entire day. But if I wake at 6:59am and turn to you to trace the outline of your lips with mine I will have done enough and killed no one in the process.”

I want to love you wildly

"I want to love you wildly. I don't want words, but inarticulate cries from the bottom of my most primitive being, that flow from my belly like honey. A piercing joy that leaves me empty, conquered, silenced."

Anais Nin

Love is the only way

"Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality. No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him. By his love he is enabled to see the essential traits and features in the beloved person; and even more, he sees that which is potential in him, which is not yet actualized but yet ought to be actualized.

"Furthermore, by his love, the loving person enables the beloved person to actualize these potentialities. By making him aware of what he can be and of what he should become, he makes these potentialities come true."

eat right and do what you love

look inside your soul

"Look inside your soul and find your tools. We all have tools and have to live with the help of them. I have two tools, my words and my images. I used my typewriter, computer and my cameras to fight injustice. Whenever I see a possibility of helping people who are in danger, I want to help them."
 
Ruth Gruber, 101

laughter keeps you healthy

"Laughter keeps you healthy. You can survive by seeing the humor in everything. Thumb your nose at sadness; turn the tables on tragedy. You can't laugh and be angry, you can't laugh and feel sad, you can't laugh and feel envious."
Bel Kaufman, 101
