Unprovoked and awful charges even so the she-bear fights;Speech that drips, corrodes, and poisons, even so the cobra bites;Scientific vivisection of one nerve till it is rawAnd the victim writhes in anguish like the Jesuit with the squaw!
Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong.
Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.
When the Hymalayan peasant meets the he-bear in his pride,He shouts to scare the monster, who will often turn aside.But the she-bear thus accosted, rends the peasant tooth and nail,For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.

The hours I spend with you I look upon as sort of a perfumed garden, a dim twilight, and a fountain singing to it. You and you alone make me feel that I am alive. Other men it is said have seen angels, but I have seen thee and thou art enough.
But the Woman that God gave him, every fibre of her frameProves her launched for one sole issue, armed and engined for the same;And to serve that single issue, lest the generations fail,The female of the species must be deadlier than the male.

If something happens you cannot control, then life isnt going to wait for you to catch up; you just have to keep on moving with life. If its a boyfriend problem, then think, Im worth way more then all this. Im going to make it and life goes on.
I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable.
Baby, I know we are miles and miles away from one another, but I always believed that as long as our souls are connected to each other, the flame of our love will burn forever. Only souls can resist death, our physical connection is meaningless.
At different stages in our lives, the signs of love may vary: dependence, attraction, contentment, worry, loyalty, grief, but at heart the source is always the same. Human beings have the rare capacity to connect with each other, against all odds
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.
If this world affords true happiness, it is to be found in a home where love and confidence increase with the years, where the necessities of life come without severe strain, where luxuries enter only after their cost has been carefully considered.
She is wedded to convictions, in default of grosser ties;Her contentions are her children, Heaven help him who denies! -He will meet no cool discussion, but the instant, white-hot, wild,Wakened female of the species warring as for spouse and child.
