Arno Rafael Minkinnen & Lord Byron

In secret we met,
In silence I grieve,
That thy heart could forget,
thy spirit deceive.
If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee?

With silence and tears.

George Gordon Byron

Two roads diverged in a wood,
and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
and that has made
all the difference.

Not everything that is faced 

can be changed, 

but nothing can be 

changed 

until

 it is faced.

Twenty years from now
you will be more disappointed
by the things that you didn't
than by ones you did do.

So throw off the bowlines.
Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.

Explore. Dream. Discover.

H. Jackson Brown Jr.
(P.S. I Love You)


Happy New Year!

I took a deep breathe
and listened to the old brag of my heart.
I am, I am, I am.

Sylvia Plath,
The Bell Jar

Time is a great teacher, 

but unfortunately it kills all its pupils.
