The purpose of poetry is to remind us   how difficult it is to remain just one person,

Czeslaw Milosz, from “Ars Poetica?” (via theclassicsreader)

Gustav Klimt, Judith I detail, 1901

Do you ever know what the birds are singing? You don’t. But you listen to them anyway. So, sometimes with art, it is important just to look.

Pablo Picasso (via goodreadss)

Look not only with the eyes..

The best way to know life is to love many things.

Vincent van Gogh (via goodreadss)

Many times..

To live in this world you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.

Mary Oliver, from “In Blackwater Woods” (via theclassicsreader)

Only with the things you really need..

To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself. When you are born a lotus flower, be a beautiful lotus flower, don’t try to be a magnolia flower. If you crave acceptance and recognition and try to change yourself to fit what other people want you to be, you will suffer all your life. True happiness and true power lie in understanding yourself, accepting yourself, having confidence in yourself.

Thich Nhat Hanh (via riversawaken)

Stop this day and night with me and you shall possess the origin of all poems, You shall possess the good of the earth and sun…. there are millions of suns left, You shall no longer take things at second or third hand…. nor look through the eyes of the dead…. nor feed on the spectres in books, You shall not look through my eyes either, nor take things from me, You shall listen to all sides and filter them from yourself.

Walt Whitman (via feellng)

thanks Whitman!♡

why is it always the woman who has to see past the beast in the man? why does she always have to clean his wounds, even after he has damaged her beyond repair? why is it always the man who is worthy of forgiveness for being a monster? I want to see the beast in the beauty. the half smile, half snarl. the unapologetic anger. I would like to see the man forgive the monster. to see her, blood and all, and love her anyway.

Quédate conmigo hoy, vive conmigo un día y una noche y te mostraré el origen de todos los poemas. Tendrás entonces todo cuanto de grande hay en la tierra y en el sol y nada tomarás ya de segunda o tercera mano, ni mirarás más por los ojos de los muertos, ni te nutrirás con el espectro de los libros. Tampoco contemplarás el mundo con mis ojos ni tocarás las cosas con mis manos. Aprenderás a escuchar en todas direcciones y dejarás que la esencia del Universo se filtre por tu ser.

— Walt Whitman, Fragmento de ‘Canto a mí mismo’

I have no desire to suffer twice, in reality and then in retrospect.
