Deirdre's Favorite Quotes and Passages -- Send us yours
The time will come, when,
with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door,
in your own mirror.
And each will smile at the other’s welcome,
and say, “Sit here, Eat. Relax.”
You will love again this stranger who is your Self.
Give wine. Give bread.
Give back your heart,
to itself,
to this stranger who has loved you
all your life,
whom you ignored for another,
but who knows you by heart.

Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs and the desperate notes.
Peel your self-image from the mirror.
Sit. Here. Now. Feast on your life.
Fall in love again with your Self and with all of life.

Derek Walcott, 1996 Nobel Prize winner for literature
Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a foreign language. Do not search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live with them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.

From: Letter 4 of "Letters To A Young Poet" by Rainer Maria Rilke, July 16, 1903

If that vital spark that we find in a grain of wheat can pass unchanged through countless deaths and resurrections, will the spirit of man be unable to pass from this body to another?  William Jennings Bryan (1860-1925)
Doing good to others is not a duty, it is a joy, for it increases our own health and happiness. Zoroaster (Persian Religious Leader)



Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all. - Dale Carnegie

Only the wounded healer heals. - T.S. Eliot
There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is: nor how valuable it is; nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly of the urges that motivate YOU. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction; a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others. - Martha Graham to Agnes DeMille

Where the Soul Dwells

There's a common place inside people from all countries, all religions, all colors, all ideologies, and philosophies, that unites us. It's a beautiful and pure place within where the soul dwells, and it speaks only love.

All of us who have known the beauty of love, have visited this place, and have felt its power. It makes angst and animosity crumble into dust and inspires hope for the impossible. Sometimes this unity of the human soul is lost to us through words, opinions, actions, and politics.

We get so stuck on our differences, that we forget we all hailed from the same home and are eternally connected. It's too bad that the whole world couldn't get together in complete silence and speak only through the beauty of the soul; for surely then, peace would prevail on earth like in heaven. - Bobette Bryan, 2001

Live purely.
Be quiet.
Do your work
with mastery.
Like the moon,
come out from
behind the clouds! Shine." - Buddha
