And so to bed

Another collection of quotes with picture from my daily postings made on Facebook at the end of every day. Unlike the FB posts, these have pictures of the authors.




And so to bed... quote for tonight is from Greek poet Sappho:

The moon has set
And the Pleiades;
It is midnight,
The time is going by,
And I sleep alone.

And so to bed... quote for tonight is from Ursula K. Le Guin:

You cannot take what you have not given, and you must give yourself. You cannot buy the Revolution. You cannot make the Revolution. You can only be the Revolution. It is in your spirit, or it is nowhere.

And so to bed... quote for tonight is from Donovan (from the film Brother Sun, Sister Moon):

If you want your dream to be,
Build it slow and surely.
Small beginnings greater ends.
Heartfelt work grows purely.
If you want to live life free,
Take your time go slowly.
Do few things but do them well.
Simple joys are holy.
Day by day, stone by stone,
Build your secret slowly.
Day by day, you'll grow, too,
You'll know heaven's glory.

And so to bed... quote for tonight is from Clare of Assisi:

We become what we love and who we love shapes what we become. If we love things, we become a thing. If we love nothing, we become nothing. Imitation is not a literal mimicking of Christ, rather it means becoming the image of the beloved, an image disclosed through transformation. This means we are to become vessels of God's compassionate love for others

And so to bed... quote for tonight is from Edward Hirsch

Every year there is a brief, startling moment
When we pause in the middle of a long walk home and
Suddenly feel something invisible and weightless
Touching our shoulders, sweeping down from the air:
It is the autumn wind pressing against our bodies;
It is the changing light of fall falling on us.

And so to bed... quote for tonight is from Sara Baume:

The old summer's-end melancholy nips at my heels. There's no school to go back to; no detail of my life will change come the onset of September; yet still, I feel the old trepidation.
