“I realize that most of us live on the skin – on the surface – without appreciating just how wonderful it is simply to be alive at all.”
Audrey Hepburn trying on Givenchy hats, circa 1957

“Books are the perfect entertainment: no commercials, no batteries, hours of enjoyment for each dollar spent. What I wonder is why everybody doesn’t carry a book around for those inevitable dead spots in life.”
Stephen King
“Being tender and open is beautiful. As a woman, I feel continually shhh’ed. Too sensitive. Too mushy. Too wishy washy. Blah blah. Don’t let someone steal your tenderness. Don’t allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart. Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to truly be affected by things. Whether it’s a song, a stranger, a mountain, a rain drop, a tea kettle, an article, a sentence, a footstep, feel it all – look around you. All of this is for you. Take it and have gratitude. Give it and feel love.”
Zooey Deschanel

“Manchmal kommt in einem Traum, in Phantasien oder wenn der Betreffende betrunken ist ,etwas von dem ursprünglichen Selbst zum Vorschein - Gefühle und Gedanken, die er jahrelang nicht mehr gehabt hat. Oft handelt es sich um schlimme Dinge ,die er verdrängte […] Manchmal handelt es sich aber auch um das Beste in ihm, das er verdrängt hat […]”
- Erich Fromm
