thing

It's hard to argue with the government. Remember, they run the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, so they must know a thing or two about satisfying women. ~Scott Adams

satisfying

But, oh, to get involved in the exchange
Of human emotions is ever so satisfying
There's no map
And a compass
Wouldn't help at all
Human behaviour...

~ Björk

human

The strongest human instinct is to impart information. The second strongest is to resist it.
Scottish author Kenneth Grahame

resist


You have ravished me away by a Power I cannot resist; and yet I could resist till I saw you; and even since I have seen you I endeavored often "to reason against the reasons of my Love."


John Keats

Love


I wandered of the idol, Love, who daily scents his snowy wings with incense of burnt offerings from the most unpolluted things.

Edgar Allen Poe

wings

There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots, the other, wings. ~Hodding Carter

roots


...And I suddenly feel like a different person
From the roots of my soul come a gentle coercion
And I ran my hand o'er a strange inversion
As the darkness turns into the dawn
The child is gone...


Fiona Apple "The Child is Gone"

darkness

"As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being."

Carl Jung

relationships

We live together very happily, that is, I don't have a moment's peace
by day or night.
--Heinrich Heine (1797-1856)
German poet

together

Show me that you love me and that we belong together.
Relax, turn around and take my hand.
I can help you change tired moments into pleasure.
Say the word and we'll be well upon our way.

~ Tool

Pleasure


"There is much pleasure to be gained from useless knowledge."
-Bertrand Russell

pleasure

Surprises are foolish things. The pleasure is not enhanced,
and the inconvenience is often considerable.

~ Jane Austen, Emma

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on. ~ Robert Frost

You can't have everything. Where would you put it?
