Beautiful quotes (7)

“The wings of flying faeries are symbolic of air, and their human or animal legs, of earth.  A shimmering, luminous quality is their fire aspect;  the fluid aspect of shape-shifting represents water.  Thus they make balanced connections among the four earthly elements and the four directions of the mystical winds.  To all these, however, they add the magic of moonlight, the fifth faery element”

Brian Froud

“'Twas I that led you through the painted mead. 


Where the light fairies danced upon the flowers


 Hanging from every leaf an orient pearl.”



The Wisdom of Dr. Dodypoll, 1660

The fairy poet takes a sheet
Of moonbeam, silver white;
His ink is dew from daisies sweet,
His pen a point of light.
~Joyce Kilmer

“Within all of us is a varying amount of space lint and star dust, the residue from our creation.  Most are too busy to notice it, and it is stronger in some than others.  It is strongest in those of us who fly and is responsible for an unconscious, subtle desire to slip into some wings and try for the elusive boundaries of our origin.”


  ~K.O. Eckland, “Footprints On Clouds”

Robert Louis Stevenson–”… every child can remember laying his head in the grass, staring into the infinitesimal forest and seeing it grow populous with fairy armies …”

Re: Beautiful quotes (7)

“The wall is silence, the grass is sleep,
Tall trees of peace their vigil keep,
And the Fairy of Dreams with moth-wings furled
Plays soft on her flute to the drowsy world.”

~Ida Rentoul Outhwaite

We the Fairies, blithe and antic,
Of dimensions not gigantic,
Though the moonshine mostly keep us,
Oft in orchards frisk and peep us.
~Thomas Randolph

“How sweet the moonlight sleeps w supon this bank.

Here will we sit, and let the sounds of music

Creep in our ears; soft stillness, and the night

Become the touches of sweet harmony.” William Shakespeare

There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.  ~George Carlin

Re: Beautiful quotes (7)

“This life as you live it now and have lived it, you will have to live again and again, times without number, and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and all the unspeakably small and great in your life must return to you and everything in the same series and sequence – and in the same way this spider and this moonlight among the trees, and this same way this moment and I myself. The eternal hour glass of existence will be turned again and again – and you with it, you dust of dust!” Friedrich Nietzsche

There they stand, the innumerable stars, shining in order like a living hymn, written in light.  ~N.P. Willis

“Every good friend once was a stranger. ”

Re: Beautiful quotes (7)

Take the baton, now. Run with it! This is your day! Beginning today, treat everyone you meet, friend or foe, loved one or stranger, as if they were going to be dead at midnight. Extend to each person, no matter how trivial the contact, all the care and kindness and understanding and love that you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.” Og Mandino

Re: Beautiful quotes (7)

The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.
Carl Jung

“When we quit thinking primarily about ourselves and our own self-preservation, we undergo a truly heroic transformation of consciousness.” Joseph Campbell

“The secret of attraction is to love yourself. Attractive people judge neither themselves nor others. They are open to gestures of love. They think about love, and express their love in every action. They know that love is not a mere sentiment, but the ultimate truth at the heart of the universe.”
 Deepak Chopra

when the world sits just right,

a gentle breath of heaven

fills my soul with delight…
