love romance desire
In every living thing there is the desire for love.
hard-work sky age
Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically. The cataclysm has happened, we are among the ruins, we start to build up new little habitats, to have new little hopes. It is rather hard work: there is now no smooth road into the future: but we go round, or scramble over the obstacles. We’ve got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen.

We ought to dance with rapture that we might be alive... and part of the living, incarnate cosmos.

We don't exist unless we are deeply and sensually in touch with that which can be touched but not known.
way likes done
Now the only decent way to get something done is to get it done by somebody who quite likes doing it.
love-you love-is long
no form of love is wrong, so long as it is love, and you yourself honour what you are doing. Love has an extraordinary variety of forms! And that is all there is in life, it seems to me. But I grant you, if you deny the variety of love you deny love altogether. If you try to specialize love into one set of accepted feelings, you wound the very soul of love. Love must be multi-form, else it is just tyranny, just death
love-is joy body
Love is the hastening gravitation of spirit towards spirit, and body towards body, in the joy of creation.

Money poisons you when you've got it, and starves you when you haven't.

We've got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen.
life wisdom taken
Life is a travelling to the edge of knowledge, then a leap taken.
real people looks
Perhaps only people who are capable of real togetherness have that look of being alone in the universe. The others have a certain stickiness, they stick to the mass.
life breakup finding-love
Those that go searching for love only make manifest their own lovelessness, and the loveless never find love, only the loving find love, and they never have to seek for it.
