“He was taught by the river. Incessantly, he learned from it. Most of all, he learned from it to listen, to pay close attention with a quiet heart, with a waiting, opened soul, without passion, without a wish, without judgement, without an opinion.” HeartSoulPassionWishWaitingPayAttentionOpinionTaughtQuietRiversJudgementIncessantlyQuiet Heart Book:Siddhartha Source: Siddhartha
“There are stories within stories, whispered in the quiet of the night, shouted above the roar of the day, and played out between lovers and enemies, strangers and friends. But all are fragile things made of just twenty-six letters arranged and re-arranged to form tales and imaginings which will dazzle your senses, haunt your imagination and move you to the very depths of your soul.” MadeSoulStoriesMovingFormNightImaginationEnemyLoversQuietSixLettersTwentiesDepthStrangerSensesTalesYour SoulFragileDazzleFragile ThingsStrangers And Friends Author:Neil Gaiman
“Sadly I write in my quiet room, alone as I have always been, alone as I will always be. And I wonder if my apparently negligible voice might not embody the essence of thousands of voices, the longing for self expression of thousands of lives, the patience of millions of souls resigned like my own to their daily lot, their useless dreams, and their hopeless hopes.” IfsWritingSoulSelfDreamMightVoiceMy OwnRoomsWonderMillionsExpressionQuietEssenceLongingUselessHopelessSelf ExpressionResignedQuiet Room Book:The Selected Prose of Fernando Pessoa Source: The Selected Prose of Fernando Pessoa
“Have you ever been anyone's?" I ask, a feathery whisper in the quiet bedroom. He lifts his head to mine, and I want him so bad I feel consumed inside, like he's already possessed my soul, and now my soul aches for him to possess my body. A powerful emotion tightens his features as he reaches out to cradle my cheek in his big hand, and there's an unexpected fierceness in his eyes, in his touch, as he cups me. "No. And you?" The calluses in his palm rasp on my skin, and I find myself tucking my cheek deeper into them. "I've never wanted to." "Neither have I." The moment is intimate.” WantFeelsSoulMomentsBodyHandsBigsEyeWantedAsksPowerfulEmotionMinesQuietSkinsDeeperMy SoulCupsLiftsFeaturesIntimateHis EyesUnexpectedReach OutPossessedCheeksBedroomPalmsAcheConsumedCradleWant HimFiercenessPowerful EmotionsCalluses Author:Katy Evans
“Darkling I listen; and, for many a time I have been half in love with easeful Death, Called him soft names in many a muse' d rhyme, To take into the air my quiet breath; Now more than ever seems it rich to die, To cease upon the midnight with no pain, While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad In such an ecstasy!” Has BeensArtSoulSeemsPainTimeDiesNamesHalfRichAirQuietBreathsCeaseEcstasyMuseRhymeMidnightPouringNo Pain Author:John Keats
