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’
Charles Dana Gibson-The Weaker Sex VII♡
Breakfast At Tiffany’s (1961) dir. Blake Edwards
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!♡
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..

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.
