I kicked candy and now seem to be stuck with quotations, which are attacking my brain instead of my teeth :-)

Perdonatemi, ma -come si sa- la carne è debole e l'ego, qualche volta- prende il sopravvento!
[Foto di Paolo Mezzetti]
Forgive me ... but the flesh is weak and the ego -sometimes- takes over!
You come across an old typewriter, perhaps in a junk shop. No-one else is around. You have an opportunity to type a few words on the paper, anonymously. What will you write?
"..because nothing makes me happier
and nothing makes me sadder than you.."

Spring leaves and wildflowers were popping out everywhere we hiked.
a quotation:
"This is the most beautiful place on earth.
There are many such places. Every man, every woman, carries in heart and mind the image of the ideal place, the right place, the one true home, known or unknown, actual or visionary. A houseboat in Kashmir, a view down Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, a gray gothic farmhouse two stories high at the end of a red dog road in the Allegheny Mountains, a cabin on the shore of a blue lake in spruce and fir country, a greasy alley near the Hoboken waterfront, or even,
for those of a less demanding sensibility, the world to be seen from a comfortable apartment high in the tender, velvety smog of Manhattan, Chicago, Paris, Tokyo, Rio, or Rome
--there's no limit to the human capacity for the homing sentiment."
Edward Abbey
"Desert Solitaire"
“The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.”

UN'EMOZIONE PER SEMPRE – EROS RAMAZZOTTI (An Emotion (That Lasts) Forever)
UNEQUAL MEASURES OF LOVE
Though I love you I cannot stay
there is so much I want to do
please know it is better this way
for this is all that I can promise you
I will keep your love in my heart forever
the fire from our golden hour will keep me warm
on a cold Winter's night when the snow falls down like melting stars
I will remember you gently and recall your soft tears
I could never have made you happy
I pray that you see it this way now
I have given all I had to give you
and I would have fallen down in the innocence of your eyes
I couldn't bear to see you hurt
so it's better to have ended it this soon
better you think of me kindly than to think me a fool
please don't wait for me in the darkness
you are so pure and born of the light
your presence is precious and deserves only the best
but I know myself and know that it must be with somebody else
in my memory you are still laughing
with your smiling Irish eyes
dancing until the new dawn has broken
through the parting of the sombre night skies
the dew on the lawn sparkles and welcomes
the first day of the rest of your life
and if in the distance you can still hear the thunder
that carries it's power to you
let it lift up your heart and embrace all your sadness
let the sun dry your tears along with the dew
tilt your head toward the sky and sing a sweet song
embrace the freedom life has given to you
don't ever close your heart and mind because of me
you are worth a million of me; from here to infinity and more
I will always love you in my own special way
but put the memory of me away within a closed drawer
lock it and throw away the key
but keep your heart open; your one special love is still yet to come
forgive me my special friend; it could never be me
you deserve someone to love you equally
unequal measures of love will never do for you or for me.

YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE – ELVIS PRESLEY
Sometimes in life we come full circle
I see a footprint of my beginning
and here I am back at the start
I see the people who tried to stop me winning
but I rise above them; and leave them far behind
I draw a line in shifting, whispering grains of sand
and something deep inside me drives me on
no looking back; I am complete; I understand
sometimes in life we cannot win them over
it's not our job; it's for a greater Hand
and He will guide me on my journey
bring me safely to the shore
where angels sing; rejoice and hold me
and I will not be frightened any more
He sees in us the pain; the human burden
He sees the weight that life and people bring
He knows how much; He knows and He is certain
He will not give us more than we can take
so that in our hearts and souls we'll always sing
and when at last our cup is brimming over
He lays his Hand upon our heads and soothes our brow
and we feel the greatest love that ever found us
and we are comforted and lighter; it is a miracle somehow
and once more we are peaceful
finding joy in simple things
as darkness; shadows and all our plights
are left behind and taken care of;
whisked away on angel's wings
and soon the lines of strain are smoothed; not furrowed
as clouds reveal the stars of wonder and ethereal light
and we begin to live at last the ever after; forget tomorrow
this moment we exist; and in this moment
I am complete; I am content right here, right now.

The face of the Olympian Hermes. Just a tiny part of the whole statue. The other parts, represented by Fujifilm boxes, you have to visualise yourself or, since his image is scattered over the world-wide web, you can look it up. Here, I am offering just a visual quotation. It refers to something larger and, at the end of the day, to a long narrative which, in itself, is invisible.
Fujifilm X-Pro1 plus Helios 44M-7 (wide-open).

Thanks to Midnight Digital for this quotation:
"When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth."
A rather nice statue in Vienna. Been looking back through these as I failed to get anything from my recent trip to Spain at all!!!

When you're not being able to do much there's always technology to make you have a dialogue with your many florals, which I did yesterday. Many quotes spring to mind, but I chose this one.
"The artist is the confidant of nature, flowers carry on dialogues with him through the graceful bending of their stems and harmonious tinted nuances of their blossoms. Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs to him" ~ August Rodin

Love grows when we work at it.
Love overlooks a multitudes of faults.
Love will bring us together.
Love finds away to get together.
Love will keep us together.

One more for the Poetography group: This week our topic is "age". I thought the quote went well with this image, since this is one of the things we are doing now that life has slowed down a bit :)

"Everything faded into mist. The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became truth."

Quotations from Augustine of Hippo, asking for God's enlightenment. The second quote refers to:
James 1:16 Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers. 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow. (World English Bible, public domain.)
Thanks for looking!
