“I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.” -Claude Monet

ode to Flora

Do I contradict myself? Very well, then, I contradict myself; I am large — I contain multitudes.

Walt Whitman (via quotemadness)

The greatest thing that we can do is to help somebody know that they’re loved and capable of loving.

Mr. Rogers (via deeplifequotes)

There was an episode, one of my favorite moments in Star Trek, when Captain Kirk looks over the cosmos and says, ‘Somewhere out there someone is saying the three most beautiful words in any language.’ Of course you heart sinks and you think it’s going to be, ‘I love you’ or whatever. He says, ‘Please help me.’ What a philosophically fantastic idea, that vulnerability and need is a beautiful thing.

Salome, 1923, Charles Bryant

Lilac and star and bird twined with the chant of my soul, There in the fragrant pines and the cedars dusk and dim.

Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass (via occasional-wolf-on-caffeine)
