If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself. If you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.

Lao Tzu

I am jealous of those who think more deeply, who write better, who draw better, who look better, who live better, who love better than I.

-Sylvia Plath

Stéphane Mallarmé, from Collected Poems and Other Verse; “The Nurse and Herodias,” (x)

“The world didn’t know / what to do with my love. / Because it isn’t used to being loved”

— Richard Siken, Self-Portrait Against Red Wallpaper

When I am being loved, I respond to it with love, too. When I'm being less taken care of or ignored, I give back the same energy. I'm a believer in equivalent exchange. And that's my way of giving justice to this so-called reciprocation.
