Don't let love fool you; It's not my first love.
Truth rocks my world, from below and above. ~XineAnn

Thinking is more interesting than knowing, but less interesting than looking. ~Goethe

For experience is the Soul's one and only nourishment ~James Hillman

Le coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît point. ~Blaise Pascal

He who has lost his soul will be finding God anywhere, up above and down below, in here and out there, he will cling to every straw of love blown past his doorway as he stands waiting for a sign. ~James Hillman
