Inner Worlds

Sometimes it's better not to know and just to feel.. “When you reach the end of what you should know, you will be at the beginning of what you should sense.” ― Kahlil Gibran, Sand and Foam. “Women are always true, even in the midst of their greatest falsities, because they are always influenced by some natural feeling.” ― Honoré de Balzac, Père Goriot

Who You Are

Lost in Translation

"Charlotte: I just don't know what I'm supposed to be. Bob: You'll figure that out. The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you."

Wherever you go, there you will also find yourself...

The Hats We Wear

“One of the greatest regrets in life is being what others would want you to be, rather than being yourself.” ― Shannon L. Alder “I wear my hat as I please, indoors or out.” ― Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass

The Girl With The Cat

“What greater gift than the love of a cat.” ― Charles Dickens “A cat has absolute emotional honesty: human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not.” ― Ernest Hemingway

Chat Noir

“Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.” ― Robert A. Heinlein

You Make It Easy

The Great Escape

Some days you just feel like breaking free... “I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.” Anais Nin

Aspire

Life has no limitations, except the ones you make.

“Apprehension, uncertainty, waiting, expectation, fear of surprise, do a patient more harm than any exertion” Florence Nightingale “The mere apprehension of a coming evil has put many into a situation of the utmost danger” Lucan

In a Manner of Speaking

Inspired by "In a Manner of Speaking" by Nouvelle Vague http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynGcAyEZkX4 “Silence is most meaningful.” ― Ram Mohan “We no longer have a sufficiently high estimate of ourselves when we communicate. Our true experiences are not garrulous. They could not communicate themselves if they wanted to: they lack words. We have already grown beyond whatever we have words for. In all talking there lies a grain of contempt. Speech, it seems, was devised only for the average medium, communicable. The speaker has already vulgarized himself by speaking.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols

Through The Looking Glass

"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?”

The Sky is the Limit

Raw

"There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty." -- Steve Maraboli
