Someday perhaps the inner light will shine forth from us,
and then we'll need no other light.
- Johann Wolfgang von Goeth
Love is the realization of a beautiful dream.
- Leo Benjamin
I said, 'A line will take us hours maybe;
Yet if it does not seem a moment's thought,
Our stitching and unstitching has been naught.
- William Butler Yeats, Adam's Curse
Beauty is in no quality of things themselves.
It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them.
- David Hume, In the Standard of Taste, 1757, (Of Tragedy)
To see the world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
To hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
- William Blake, Auguries of Innocence
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
- by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, poem XLIII
With hope and comfort
Dear, Forgive
The crime I am content to live
Divided, with but half a heart
Till we shall meet and never part
- Henry King
Artists are magical helpers.
Evoking symbols and motifs that connect us to our deeper selves,
they can help us along the heroic journey of our own lives.
-Joseph Campbell
