we look up at the same stars and see such different things

We sit and talk quietly, with long lapses of silence and I am aware of the stream

 that has no language, coursing beneath the quiet heaven of your eyes, which has no speech.

 – William Carlos Williams

The glory of friendship is not that outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, 

nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one 

who you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with friendship. 

– Ralph Waldo Emerson.

She left pieces of her life behind her everywhere she went. 

It’s easier to feel the sunlight without them, she said.

If you love a flower, don’t pick it up, because if you pick it up, 

it dies and ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower,

 let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation. 

- Osho

Unless you learn to face your own shadows, you will continue to see them in others,

 because the world outside of you is only a reflection of the world inside of you

Love is like the sea. It’s a moving thing, but still and all, it takes

 its shape from the shore it meets, and it’s different with every shore.

— Zora Neale Hurston

We look up at the same stars and see such different things.

 – George R. R. Martin 

Now is no time to think of what you do not have. Think of what you can do with what there is. 

– Ernest Hemingway 

To unpathed waters and undreamed shores. – William Shakespeare 

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.
