1 Love me or hate me, both are in my favour… If you love me, I’ll always be in your heart. If you hate me, I’ll always be on your mind- William Shakespeare
Love and hate are two human emotions that reside in a place of their own. Love a person or hate them, you will still be reminded of them no matter what. Their name will echo in your mind and heart.
2 I desire the things that will destroy me in the end-Sylvia Plath
We as human beings seek things to satisfy our animalistic needs which in a sense are very materialistic and this can do more damage in the end than it can do good. Things like alcohol, drugs and even sex to a certain extent will destroy you if consumed excessively.
3 The worst enemy to creativity is self doubt- Sylvia Plath
Nothing hinders creativity and innovation like self doubt. It makes us question our worth and every other step that we take. This makes it very difficult to be sure about the work we do. So we should always try to believe in ourselves.
4 There is no exquisite beauty without some strangeness in proportions- Edgar Alan Poe
Nothing in the world is perfect. In fact, it is the flaws and imperfections that make something beautiful. But also remember that not all flaws are beautiful.
5 All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream- Edgar Alan Poe
Our lives and everything around us may be a reality we perceive but does it all really exist? Or is this all an illusion? Life is led in fleeting moments and our existence is like a dream within a dream.
6 So few that live have life- Emily Dickinson
Very few people know how to live. They are just alive, breathing but rarely do they live the life they have been given.
7 To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all- Oscar Wilde
Live your life to the fullest instead of following the herd and running a rat race for the rest of your lives. Not many people know the art of living. To just exist defeats the whole purpose of being blessed with a life that is full of possibilities and opportunities to live it as you like.
8 A drop of ink may make a million think- Lord Byron
A word can induce emotions never felt before. It can change and shape opinions, views and ideas. It can help change prejudices and make one feel.
9 Friendship may and often does grow into love but love never subsides into friendship- Lord Byron
Friends can turn into lovers very easily because they are compatible and are comfortable around each other. It is a step forward in a relationship. But the vice versa is very difficult. True love can never go back to being just friends because now you love even the imperfections, you love the soul, you are too invested.
10 Love needs too much help. Hate takes care of itself- Charles Bukowski
Love needs a lot of tender nurturing and care to grow and flourish. It needs a lot of commitment and hard work to make it work. Hate on the other is an emotion easily felt and it just grows on its own when not under control.
11 You have to die a few times before you can really live- Charles Bukowski
You have to really feel like you are dying to find reasons to live. This is just like how you have to fall down a few times before you can do something correctly, like learning to ride a bike.
12 The mind is its own place and in itself it can make a heaven of hell and a hell of heaven- John Milton
The mind can be a very strange place to live in. It makes up scenarios on its own, makes us overthink for no reason at all and can lead us astray very easily. If you cannot control your mind then there will be no distinction between hell and heaven in your thoughts.
13 If I had a flower for every time I thought of you, I could walk in my garden forever- Alfred Lord Tennyson
We are reminded of our loved ones so very often throughout the day that they become a permanent part of our lives. If we had to count the number of times, we would never finish counting.
14 I am a part of all that I have met.- Alfred Lord Tennyson
You are shaped by all the people you meet, live with, the books that you read and the media you consume. The society we live in shapes us as human beings and that is how we grow up and live our lives.
15 Expectation is the root of all heartache- William Shakespeare
To expect, to hope can be very dangerous because sometimes it can fail us. It can hurt us so much so that we stop looking for the good in anything after that. It can bring us pain and heartache.
