Not knowing

“Not knowing when the dawn will come
I open every door.”
― Emily Dickinson

princesses who are only waiting

“Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.”

— Rainer Maria Rilke

Inside our Dreams

"Where do people go to when they die?
Somewhere down below or in the sky?
'I can't be sure,' said Grandad, 'but it seems
They simply set up home inside our dreams."-Jeanne Willis

To hell, my love, with you

“In youth, it was a way I had,
To do my best to please.
And change, with every passing lad
To suit his theories.

But now I know the things I know
And do the things I do,
And if you do not like me so,
To hell, my love, with you.”
- Dorothy Parker, The Complete Poems of Dorothy Parker

And not pluck one

“I will be the gladdest thing

Under the sun!

I will touch a hundred flowers

And not pick one.” 

― Edna St. Vincent Millay "Afternoon on a Hill"
