"You can't change the past but, with understanding, you can sometimes draw the poison out of it."

Carlos Gebler

Colette

"There are days when solitude is a heady wine that intoxicates you with freedom, others when it is a bitter tonic, and still others when it is a poison that makes you beat your head against the wall."

Colette

Mitch Albom

"Holding anger is a poison...It eats you from inside...We think that by hating someone we hurt them...But hatred is a curved blade...and the harm we do to others...we also do to ourselves."

Mitch Albom

Siddhārtha Gautama

"There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills."

Spieel

Wanneer jou drome, soos
n spieel stukkend
val
En fragmente van jou
lewe
soos skerwe voor jou voete
lê.
En Hoop,
Geloof,
(en liefde)
bloed belope terug weerkaats -
stuk vir stuk
n legkaart maak.
Kort n n stuk.
En ek soek,
ek soek.

"This is where I have always been coming to. Since my time began. And when I go away from here, this will be the mid-point, to which everything ran, before, and from which everything will run ..."

A.S. Byatt

Jodi Picoult

"Take it from me: love has all the lasting permanence of a rainbow- beautiful while it's there, and just as likely to have disappeared by the time you blink."

Jodi Picoult

Stephen Chbosky

"So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be."

Stephen Chbosky

Michael Buble

"Life can show no mercy
It can tear your soul apart
It can make you feel like you've gone crazy
But you're not
Things have seem to changed
There's one thing that's still the same
In my heart you have remained
And we can fly fly fly away"

Michael Buble
