Random quote of the day:

“I am a boat
without wind.
You were the wind.
Was that the direction I wanted to go?
Who cares about directions
with a wind like that!

Desire

Posted by PJ under desire, love, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Brute physical desire is easy. But desire at the same time as affection calls for time. One has to travel through the whole land of love before finding the flame of desire. Is that why it is always so hard to desire, in the beginning, what one loves?”

—Albert Camus, Notebooks 1942-1952, tr. Justin O’Brien

Thorns

Posted by PJ under communication, families, love, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“You want to find that spot. I often say that to people who are having really difficult relationships with their families. When people look for the soft spot, it can break the deadlock and they can begin to talk to each other again. Sure, they avoid the sticky subjects completely, but they find the place where they still love each other, which is always there waiting to be found.”

—Pema Chödrön, The Lion’s Roar, October 15, 2017
