LIFE
"The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware." ~Henry Miller~
Doc: Run. Take that girl and start running. Run and don't look back. All your life you been running and looking back and just barely existing and calling it getting by. This time run and don't look back and call it living. Live every second, live it right up to the hilt. Live, Wyat. Live for me. (Doc in Tombstone)
FRIENDSHIP
"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born." ~Anais Anin~
"When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares." ~Henri Nouwin~
"Whatever relationships you have attracted in your life at this moment, are precisely the ones you need in your life at this moment. There is hidden meaning behind all events, and this hidden meaning is serving your own evolution" ~Deepak Chopra~
LOVE
"Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says 'I need you because I love you.'" ~Erich Fromm~"Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, only what you are expecting to give, which is everything." ~Katherine Hepburn~
JUST BECAUSE
One of my favorite scenes in the movie, Deirdre's son, Augustin, is searching empty kitchen cabinet after cabinet for a tea cup, when he asks his mother where the dishes are, she calmly replies, "Oh they are all out back"
"I'm giving my worldly possessions a moonbath" ~Annette Benning as Deirdre in Running With Scissors~

I was going to write about why these quotes resonate within me, but I don't need to, I know, and those of you that read this blog, you know too. They simply, just, do.

Yes, Sunny, they do. Hugs.
Worthy quotes, all. Thank you.
Fi, I knew you would. *VBS* and BBGR!
Jonas, my favorite today is Miller's, I love thinking there are those moments in life when we are joyously drunkenly aware.
Henri Nouwin's hit a spot with me. Sometimes it better to say nothing. Just being there is enough.
Quiet comfortable silence, does have a way of screaming volumes. I agree Ian, sometimes you just need to sit together quietly.
I came back to look again, for some inspiration for my day :)
YOU one wonderful babe. HHNT! :-)
Ian, you are so right, and funnily enough, sometimes, a friend just being there, and letting me know they care, even if it is online, is more than enough. Fiona is great at it!
Fi, I hoped it helped :)
Andy, thank you.

One too many glasses of wine. I'm seeing double!
