“Wonder is not precisely knowing.”

If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain.

Not knowing when the dawn will come I open every door.

I am out with lanterns, looking for myself.

Celebrity is the chastisement of merit and the punishment of talent.

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul – and sings the tunes without the words – and never stops at all.

We both believe, and disbelieve a hundred times an hour, which keeps believing nimble.

Hope never stops at all.

The soul selects her own society, Then shuts the door; On her divine majority Obtrude no more.

You left me boundaries of pain Capacious as the sea, Between eternity and time, Your consciousness and me.

The brain is wider than the sky.

You can stay young as long as you learn.

Forever – is composed of Nows – ‘Tis not a different time. Let Months dissolve in further Months – And Years – exhale in Years.

The poet lights the light and fades away. But the light goes on and on.

You don’t have to be a house to be haunted.

There’s a certain slant of light, On winter afternoons, That oppresses, like the weight Of cathedral tunes.

Old age comes on suddenly, and not gradually as is thought.

Loving myself and thinking joyful, happy thoughts is the quickest way to create a wonderful life.

Our sense of wonder is a blessing from God, given so that we would be continually amazed at His beauty and creation.

There were still embers scattered around me from the bridges I have burned. I wonder if they can feel it too. The space between us lingering like a scarlet letter, I’m learning how to love again.

Some days I wonder how I can become more then I think of you and I grow with love.

Even now I know it: yes, all my hopes will be fulfilled… yes… the Lord will work wonders for me which will surpass infinitely my immeasurable desires.

I wonder maybe if our Lord does not suffer more from our indifference, than He did from the crucifixion.

Gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.

Sometimes my soul looks back and wonder how I made it over.
