Don’t lose heart if it’s very difficult at times, everything will come out all right and nobody can in the beginning do as he wishes.
Quotes
A lot of the time, love feels like it’s about figuring out what the other person wants and giving it over. Sometimes that’s impossible. But sometimes it’s pretty simple.
That’s the thing with magic. You’ve got to know it’s still here, all around us, or it just stays invisible for you.
Everyone sees what you appear to be, few experience what you really are.
Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince (via fyp-philosophy)

I understand how easy it would be to lose yourself in the heart of another. It‘s frightening. Exhilarating. An ocean with no lifeguard.

not out of loneliness.Love the person,

Think of the first time you slept with someone, or the first time you fell in love: that blinding explosion that left you crackling to the fingertips with electricity, initiated and transformed. I tell you that was nothing, nothing at all, beside the power of putting your lives, simply and daily, into each other’s hands.
I ask for nothing. / In return I give All. / There is no earning my Love. / No work needed, no effort / Save to listen to what is already heard, / To see what is already seen. / To know what is already known. / Do I seem to ask too little? / Would you give although I ask not? / Then this you can give me and I will accept. / I will take your heart. / You will find it waiting for you / When you return.
When animals express their feelings they pour out like water from a spout. Animals’ emotions are raw, unfiltered, and uncontrolled. Their joy is the purest and most contagious of joys and their grief the deepest and most devastating. Their passions bring us to our knees in delight and sorrow.

This is what love does: It makes you want to rewrite the world. It makes you want to choose the characters, build the scenery, guide the plot. The person you love sits across from you, and you want to do everything in your power to make it possible, endlessly possible. And when it’s just the two of you, alone in a room, you can pretend that this is how it is, this is how it will be.
I am lonely, yet not everybody will do. I don’t know why, some people fill the gaps and others emphasize my loneliness.
Anaïs Nin
(via wordsnquotes)
Anyone who knows me,
should learn to know me again;
for I am like the Moon,
you will see me with new face everyday.
“Too Intense”
M: It is ALWAYS romance that is difficult.
D: Could it be that you get bored easily?
M: I do not get bored. I’m told by men that I’m ‘too intense.’
D: What is considered ‘too intense’?
M (with a knowing, startled smile and a confident voice): The depth of my emotions, and my ability to express them.
