"Do you love this world? Do you..." - Quote by Mary Oliver

“The sea can do craziness, it can do smooth, it can lie down like silk breathing or toss havoc shoreward; it can give gifts or withhold all; it can rise, ebb, froth like an incoming frenzy of fountains, or it can sweet-talk entirely. As I can too, and so, no doubt, can you, and you.”

“I want to be braver and more honest about my life. When you're sexually abused, there's a lot of damage.”

“In this universe we are given two gifts: the ability to love and the ability to question. Which are, at the same time, the fires that warm us and the fires that scorch us.”

“Wisdom delights in water; love delights in hills. Wisdom is stirring; love is quiet. Wisdom is merry; love grows old.”

“Oh, Lizzy! do anything rather than marry without affection.”

“It is easier to fall in love when you are out of it than to get out of it when you are in.”

“Conquering the world and changing it, I do not think it can succeed.”

“World belongs to humanity, not this leader, that leader or that king or prince or religious leader. World belongs to humanity.”

“Beauty ...is of the great facts in the world like sunlight, or springtime, or the reflection in dark water of that silver shell we call the moon.”
