Starra's Ponderings

"that night when you kissed me, I left a poem in your mouth
you can hear some of the lines every time you breathe out
and it’s not the best thing I’ve ever written
I’m still working on my rhythm"

"A writer is a reader moved to emulation."

"…I know all about myself now, I know. You’ve told me so often. You haven’t left me one rag of illusion to clothe myself in."

"The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: the deep
Moans round with many voices. Come, my friends,
‘Tis not too late to seek a newer world."

"The only service you can do for anyone is to remind them of their true nature."

"It is the quality of one’s convictions that determines success, not the number of followers."

"Behind every great man lies a great woman. I’m not claiming to be a great man. But if I were to become a great man, I’d become one because I have a great woman."

"A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we’re pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we’re safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we’re two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we’ve found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life."

"true love transcends through time, space and the physical form of all things."

"Don’t use words too big for the subject. Don’t say “infinitely” when you mean “very”; otherwise you’ll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite."
