Scattered Pearls...

Aryaa:
We say we love flowers, yet we pluck them. We say we love trees, yet we cut them down. And people still wonder why some are afraid when told they are loved. ~Author Unknown

Aryaa:
In the province of the mind, what one believes to be true either is true or becomes true.
~ John Lilly [20th-century researcher on dolphins and fearless explorer of states of consciousness]

Aryaa:
What if you slept?
And what if in your sleep, you dreamed?
And what if in your dream you went to heaven and there plucked a strange and beautiful flower?
And what if, when you woke, you had the flower in your hand?
Ah! What then?
~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge [19th-century poet]

Aryaa:
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.
~ Anaïs Nin [my fav. American author]

Aryaa:
Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.
~ Anaïs Nin

Aryaa:
Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
~ Anaïs Nin

Aryaa:
We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.
~ Anaïs Nin

Aryaa:
Any emotion, if it is sincere, is involuntary.
~ Mark Twain [Author - Tom Sawyer & Huckleberry fin classics]

Aryaa:
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.
~ Mark Twain

Aryaa:
Everything human is pathetic. The secret source of humor itself is not joy but sorrow. There is no humor in heaven.
~ Mark Twain

Wampum6: You use the words of others to express your own thoughts so well. That's a fine quality to have, in my opinion.

Aryaa: Thank you Wampum6.
Yes, my thoughts and their words are in perfect sync...so I use them. You liked and appreciated my opening lines in my last profile that I deleted. Remember?
Those were my own words.

Anne aka Mags: These truly are pearls. Thank you for sharing them!

Wampum6: Yes, I remember, Aryaa, like the proverbial elephant, and, I WAS struck by those words.
