I think when I created this goal, I was thinking of a physical work of art. But as a frugal minimalist, I don't decorate aside from plants BUT I realized today that I've worked many quotes into works of art. Case in pointđŸ‘†đŸŸđŸ‘†đŸŸđŸ‘†đŸŸ

* Je prends mes désirs pour des réalités car je crois en la realité de mes desirs.

(I treat my desires as realities because I believe in the reality of my desires.)



Nous ne voulons pas d'un monde oĂč la certitude de ne pas mourir de faim s'Ă©change contre le risque de mourir d'ennui.

(We don't want a world where freedom from dying from hunger comes at the risk of dying of boredom.)



* Le patron a besoin de toi, tu n'as pas besoin de lui.

(The boss needs you. You don't need him.)
Favourite quotes:



“And why don't you write? Write! Writing is for you, you are for you; your body is yours, take it. I know why you haven't written. (And why I didn't write before the age of twenty-seven.) Because writing is at once too high, too great for you, it's reserved for the great-that is for "great men"; and it's "silly."



Besides, you've written a little, but in secret. And it wasn't good, because it was in secret, and because you punished yourself for writing, because you didn't go all the way, or because you wrote, irresistibly, as when we would masturbate in secret, not to go further, but to attenuate the tension a bit, just enough to take the edge off. And then as soon as we come, we go and make ourselves feel guilty-so as to be forgiven; or to forget, to bury it until the next time.”

― HĂ©lĂšne Cixous, The Laugh of the Medusa



“To be noticed is to be loved.”

― Ali Smith, There But for The



“Cause nobody's the slightest idea who we are, or who we were, not even we ourselves – except, that is, in the glimmer of a moment of fair business between strangers, or the nod of knowing and agreement between friends. Other than these, we go out anonymous into the insect air and all we are is the dust of colour, brief engineering of wings towards a glint of light on a blade of grass or a leaf in a summer dark.”

― Ali Smith



“She had the swagger of a girl. She blushed like a boy. She had a girl’s toughness. She has a boy’s gentleness. She was as meaty as a girl. She was as graceful as a boy. She was as brave and handsome and rough as a girl. She was as pretty and delicate and dainty as a boy. She turned boys' heads like a girl. She turned girls' heads like a boy. She made love like a boy. She made love like a girl. She was so boyish it was girlish, so girlish it was boyish, she made me want to rove the world writing our names on every tree. I had simply never found someone so right. Sometimes this shocked me so much that I was unable to speak.”

― Ali Smith, Girl Meets Boy: The Myth of Iphis



“I'll tell you a secret.

Something they don't teach you in your temple.

The Gods envy us.

They envy us because we're mortal, because any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed.

You will never be lovelier than you are now.

We will never be here again.”

- Homer



I can finally upload the picture! I love how this came out. The "personally inspirational quote": "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. When life gives you butter, flour, sugar, and eggs, preheat the oven."

i created a digital art photo manipulation with a favorite quote. "In the end, the only thing you regret at the chances you didn't take."
It’s not about where you are now, or even where you hope to go, it’s who you are that matters. Don’t let your place in the world dictate who you are to anyone. We all have the same merit. - Stephen Colbert

This is one of my favourite lyrics from a Korean song, it means something good will happen after something bad. I made this in December.

"We may not have it all together, but together we have it all"
Everything is going to be okay in the end.

If not, it's not the end.
I'm so lazy, this is so simple :( but is a good quote from zine A Story of Lost Things #2 | http://ahistoryoflostthings.blogspot.com
1. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

OR

2. Love is always patient and kind; it is never jealous, love is never boastful or conceited; it is never rude or selfish; it does not take offense, and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people’s sins but delights in the truth; it is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes. Love does not come to an end.
Stay on track



If you can dream it, you can do it
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t

understand life. John Lennon
I ordered a custom gold foil print that says, "Don't be delicate-be vast and brilliant".

Love the moment. Flowers grow out of dark moments. Therefore, each moment is vital. It affects the whole. Life is a succession of such moments and to live each, is to succeed.

If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.

I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all.

The purpose of life is a life of purpose.

Beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offering us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched ... but are felt in the heart.

The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Fear grows in darkness; if you think there's a bogeyman around, turn on the light.

All the world is a stage,
And all the men and women merely players.
They have their exits and entrances;
Each man in his time plays many parts.

Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.

The only person who never makes mistakes is the person who never does anything.

Strong people make as many mistakes as weak people. Difference is that strong people admit their mistakes, laugh at them, learn from them. That is how they become strong.

The worst loneliness is to not be comfortable with yourself.

Truth is mighty and will prevail. There is nothing the matter with this, except that it ain't so.

In the depth of winter, I finally learned that there was within me an invincible summer.
"Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt." - William Shakespeare

"Gegen Kritik kann man sich wehren, gegen Lob ist man machtlos." - Sigmund Freud
Stay beautiful, keep it ugly. - Gerard Way.
“Love comes to those who still hope even though they've been disappointed, to those who still believe even though they've been betrayed, to those who still love even though they've been hurt before.”


“Run your fingers through my soul. For once, just once, feel exactly what I feel, believe what I believe, perceive as I perceive, look, experience, examine, and for once; just once, understand.”


“Believe in your dreams and they may come true; believe in yourself and they will come true”

“We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit.”
