ON LOVE...

The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.
~Carl Jung (1875 - 1961)

If love closes, the self contracts and hardens...
~Charles Horton Cooley

Love is more than a sentiment; it is a need, a hunger, a thirst which is perfectly natural... Love is the beginning and end, the one sentiment in nature that will not be denied.
~Ernest Holmes

Give me ears, I will listen. Give me fingers, I will touch. Give me eyes, I will see so much.
Give me a scent and I will know, Give me love...and my heart will grow.
~Joni Zipp

On Books...

"I suggest that the only books that influence us are those for which we are ready, and which have gone a little further down our particular path than we have gone ourselves."
~E. M. Forster

"I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book."
~Groucho Marx

"A library, to modify the famous metaphor of Socrates, should be the delivery room for the birth of ideas-a place where history comes to life."
~Norman Cousins


ON BELIEF...

"So great has been the endurance, so incredible the achievement, that, as long as the sun keeps a set course in heaven, it would be foolish to despair of the human race."
~Ernest L. Woodward

"Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right."
~Henry Ford

"It is not so much what you believe in that matters, as the way in which you believe it and proceed to translate that belief into action."
~Lin Yutang

"Never talk defeat. Use words like hope, belief, faith, victory."
~Norman Vincent Peale


THE SMALL THINGS:

Small things can often make big things bearable.
~Kuki Gallmann, I Dreamed of Africa

Sometimes when I consider what tremendous consequences come from little things, I am tempted to think there are no little things.
~Bruce Barton

You lie the loudest when you lie to yourself.
~Author unknown

Your mind is like a parachute...it functions only when open.
~Author unknown
