"Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it." --Elizabeth Gilbert

Unending Love
I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times...
In life after life, in age after age, forever.
My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs,
That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms,
In life after life, in age after age, forever.
Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, it's age old pain,
It's ancient tale of being apart or together.
As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge,
Clad in the light of a pole-star, piercing the darkness of time.
You become an image of what is remembered forever.
You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount.
At the heart of time, love of one for another.
We have played along side millions of lovers,
Shared in the same shy sweetness of meeting,
the distressful tears of farewell,
Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever.
Today it is heaped at your feet, it has found its end in you
The love of all man's days both past and forever:
Universal joy, universal sorrow, universal life.
The memories of all loves merging with this one love of ours -
And the songs of every poet past and forever.
~Rabindranath Tagore
I think that there comes a time in everyone’s life when they have the opportunity to repay someone who has given them so much, such as a parent, sibling, or close friend. When these opportunities present themselves, don’t selfishly let them pass by. Statistically 250,000-300,000 people die every single day. For you and for me, one day, some day, will be our last. Do whatever you can to avoid regret in this short, crazy, twisted reality we call life.
I want to say to the gentleman to my left, gay people who want to marry have no desire to redefine marriage in any way. When women got the vote they did not redefine voting. When African-Americans got the right to sit at a lunch counter alongside white people, they did not redefine eating out. They were simply invited to the table.
"Your relationship with people or with your job has to be a growing organism. It’s not something where you reach a certain point and then you start preserving it. You have to nurture it, you have to stay curious and hungry and foolish. Once you stop doing that, you get satisfied, and you get stuck.
"Il pleure dans mon cœur, comme il pleut sur la ville.
"
I still cannot decide if this is the most beautiful love song I’ve ever heard (“For you to live, I took your place; a deal was made and I was paid”) or the most unsettling (“And we will steal your life, and I own in better homes surrounded by your peers without suffering or fear; Grandchildren far and near, and none will shed a tear for the love no longer here”)… or both.
