ReplyDelete"If you can't love yourself, how in the hell are you gonna love somebody else?" - RuPaul. :)
Fantastic! My favourite quote right now is from Ben Okri's Mental Fight, an incredible epic poem about humanity:
ReplyDelete"We are greater than our despair.
The negative aspects of humanity
Are not the most real and authentic;
The most authentic thing about us
Is our capacity to create, to overcome,
To endure, to transform, to love,
And to be greater than our suffering."

There's a bit more to the quote I believe, just a few words, but this is how I first saw it quoted, and I fell in love with it. I think it's the best quote in the whole world, and it goes EVERYWHERE - on envelopes, on facebook statuses, on my walls... it's just such a good quote. :]

Hello. I'm a new follower. I found your blog through Goodnight Little Spoon. One of my favorite quotes: "You are what you are seeking. You are standing at exactly the place towards which you have been traveling — for seven years or seventy years or seven hundred years. Your reality is within you, it is not somewhere else. But to understand the point, sometimes it takes years. You knock on many doors before you come to your own door…and then you are puzzled, because this is the house you had left and this is the house you have been searching for." -Osho

I can't believe I didn't get round to entering this sooner. It's a gorgeous giveaway, and I'd very much like to be included, please :o)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite quote is "Life's a journey, not a destination." Found in the Aerosmith song 'Amazing' but is actually a famous quote by the author Ralph Waldorf Emerson. And its so true. I try to remember this every time I hit a problem or issue in my life - that they're just potholes along the road , and that's it's not about the end - it's about what happenes along the way. It's the journey that's important, and right now, I'm having a great one!
Hope you're well xx
What a lovely and generous giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite quote is by Jorge Luis Borges, an Argentine writer:
"I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library."
