"Things turn out best for people who make the best of the way things turn out." 

John Wooden

"Man sieht nur mit dem Herzen gut.

Das Wesentliche ist für das Auge unsichtbar."

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

 

"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly.

What is essential is invisible to the eye."

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

"From draping folds like purest marble
Thine image unto me appears,
My whole soul on thine eyes is hanging,
Those eyes so full of joy and tears.

O happy dream of love, so happy...."

Mihai Eminescu

"Ich will das mit dir tun
was der Frühling mit den Kirschbäumen macht"
Pablo Neruda

“I want
To do with you
what spring does with the cherry trees.” 

Pablo Neruda

The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the ocean;
The winds of heaven mix forever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In another’s being mingle–
Why not I with thine?

See, the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower could be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea;–
What are all these kissings worth,
If thou kiss not me?

Shellley
