Captured...

Most of these are from inspirational works by Paulo Coelho, Marianne Williamson, Milan Kundera, and others:

.:I may want you in my life... but I don't need you... therefore, I choose not to have you:..:Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream:.

.:With wisdom, I know I am nothing. With love, I know I am everything. And in between, my life moves:.

.:What consumes me is this relentless ability to love you... it's a quest that I know will shatter me, but it's a quest that I will do for you:.

.:Cracks in the concrete are just reminders that sometimes you fall apart no matter how strong you are:.

.:Life is divine chaos... embrace it:.

.:Without integrity... there is no love:.

.:Love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I'm not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived:.

.:You have to find something that you love enough to be able to take risks, jump over the hurdles and break through the brick walls that are always going to be placed in front of you. If you don't have that kind of feeling for what it is you are doing, you'll stop at the first giant hurdle:.
