“The attainment of ideals is the attainment of perfection, and pure perfection is imperfection since it can only be boring and undesirable. If one could attain the perfection of one's own ideals, it would be just the same.” LifePhilosophyWisdomTruthReflectionIdealsContemplationAttributed No Source Author:Gordon Roddick, 1963
“Sometimes you want to say, “I love you, but…” Yet the “but” takes away the ‘I love you’. In love their are no ‘buts’ or ‘if’s’ or ‘when’. It’s just there, and always. No beginning, no end. It’s the condition-less state of the heart. Not a feeling that comes and goes at the whim of the emotions. It is there in our heart, a part of our heart…eventually grafting itself into each limb and cell of our bodies. Love changes our brain, the way we move and talk. Love lives in our spirit and graces us with its presence each day, until death. To say “I love you, but….” is to say, “I did not love you at all”. I say this to you now: I love you, with no beginning, no end. I love you as you have become an extra necessary organ in my body. I love you as only a girl could love a boy. Without fear. Without expectations. Wanting nothing in return, except that you allow me to keep you here in my heart, that I may always know your strength, your eyes, and your spirit that gave me freedom and let me fly.” LovePassionFriendshipLoversLove StoryBreakupUnconditionalI Love YouLove AffairBreakupsI Love HimPassionsLove And RomanceJamie Weise Author:Jamie Weise

“I can find no cause or creed to stimulate me. Why? Is this my fault? I’m not the dedicated type to give myself up to helping others. I believe in God, but not that of the church.

“I don’t know if it is too vast a subject unless the heat is too great. I want something to which I can give myself heart and soul. True, sincere love does not come easily to me. I feel empty without this. I must find it, maybe in Argentina.” LifeWisdomTruthTravelReflectionContemplationLife LessonAttributed No Source Author:Gordon Roddick, 1963

“I find writing frustrating. Words seem inadequate for all emotions. I do not have enough mastery of language to put my feelings to paper. Perhaps the author's duty is not to express his feelings but those of the story or novel.” LifeWritingWisdomTruthReflectionContemplationLife LessonAttributed No Source Author:Gordon Roddick, 1963
