“Has it ever occurred to you how lucky you are to be alive? More than 99 percent of all the creatures that have ever lived have died without progeny, but not a single one of your ancestors falls into that group! ... Not a single one of your ancestors, all the way back to the bacteria, succumbed to predation before reproducing, or lost out in the competition for a mate.” WayFallLostAliveGroupsAtheismLuckyCreaturesPercentDiedCompetitionPositive AtheismMatesAncestorBacteriaLucky YouProgenyReproducing Author:Daniel Dennett
“I have a theory about soul mates -- that God wants to be our sweetheart. And once we fall in love with life and have an intimate relationship with Spirit, that's when we meet our soul mate. It's as if God says, 'You're not meant to be alone on this earth. I just wanted you to love me first.” IfsWantFirstsSoulWantedEarthSpiritFallTheoryFalling In LoveIntimateLove LifeMeant To BeMatesSoul MateSweetheartIntimate RelationshipsMeant To Be Alone Author:Sarah Ban Breathnach
“Off fall the wife, the mother, the lover, the teacher, and the violent artist takes over. I am I alone. I belong to no one but myself. I mate with no one but the spirit. I own no land, have no kin, no friend or enemy. I have no road but this one.” SpiritMotherArtistFallEnemyTeacherWifeLandLoversViolentMatesNo Friends Book:Myself Source: Myself
“Falling in love is very real, but I used to shake my head when people talked about soul mates, poor deluded individuals grasping at some supernatural ideal not intended for mortals but sounded pretty in a poetry book. Then, we met, and everything changed, the cynic has become the converted, the sceptic, an ardent zealot.” PeopleBookRealSoulUsedFallIndividualLove IsPoorChangedMetsIdealsFalling In LoveTrue LoveMortalsShakesMatesLove At First SightSoul MateGraspingArdentDeludedCynicBeen In LoveI Fall In LoveScepticZealotFalling In Love With You Author:E.

“In the hollow tree, in the old gray tower, The spectral Owl doth dwell; Dull, hated, despised, in the sunshine hour, But at the dusk--he's abroad and well! Not a bird of the forest e'er mates with him-- All mock him outright, by day: But at night, when the woods grow still and dim, The boldest will shrink away! O, when the night falls, and roosts the fowl, Then, then, is the reign of the Horned Owl!” WellsStillsNightFallGrowsHoursTreeBirdWoodsForestsHatedDullSunshineGrayMatesTowersReignShrinksHollowDespisedMockDuskOwlFowlRoost Author:Bryan Procter
