The poetry journal. Unique Union quotes

Dear Lovestar, Today, I’m working on the creation of Union quotes to add to my poetry journal.  “Love is the union of two souls, bound by trust, respect, and an unbreakable bond.” “In the union of love, two hearts beat as one, creating a symphony of passion and devotion.” “Love knows no boundaries, it seeks only the union of two souls destined to be together.” “True love is not just about…

‘Get rid of the cleaners, rubbish collectors, bus drivers, supermarket checkout staff and secretaries, for example, and society will very quickly grind to a halt. On the other hand, if we woke up one morning to find that all the highly paid advertising executives, management consultants and private equity directors had disappeared, society would go on much as it did before: in a lot of cases, probably quite a bit better. So to begin with, workers need to reclaim a sense of pride and social worth. Doing so would be a big step forward in making the case that the wages and conditions of low-paid jobs must be improved in order to reflect the importance they have in all our lives.’

Hegel's overriding impulse was to comprehend all dimensions of existence as dialectically integrated in one unitary whole. In Hegel's view, all human thought and all reality is pervaded by contradiction, which alone makes possible the development of higher states of consciousness and higher states of being. Each phase of being contains within itself a self-contradiction, and it is this that serves as the motor of its movement to a higher and more complete phase. Through a continuing dialectical process of opposition and synthesis, the world is always in the process of completing itself. Whereas for most of the history of Western philosophy from Aristotle onward, the defining essence of opposites was that they were logically contradictory and mutually exclusive, for Hegel all opposites are logically necessary and mutually implicated elements in a larger truth. Truth is thus radically paradoxical.

"My tenderness, my happiness, what words can I write for you? How strange that although my life’s work is moving a pen over paper, I don’t know how to tell you how I love, how I desire you. Such agitation — and such divine peace: melting clouds immersed in sunshine — mounds of happiness. And I am floating with you, in you, aflame and melting — and a whole life with you is like the movement of clouds, their airy, quiet falls, their lightness and smoothness, and the heavenly variety of outline and tint — my inexplicable love. I cannot express these cirrus-cumulus sensations."

"Ulysses Simpson Grant's period in office seems to prove the theory that we can coast along for eight years without a President...Grant's period as President was one of the low points in our history...I don't think Grant knew very much about what the President's job was except that he was Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. That was the thing, I think, that impressed him more than anything, and he was pretty naïve or ignorant about everything else...He wasn't even a Chief Executive; he was another sleepwalker whose Administration was even more crooked than Warren Harding's, if that's possible."

-- President Harry S. Truman, on Ulysses S. Grant

My Poetry Journal. The Love Quotes. The Aristotle quote is exactly 💯 my situation with my Scorpio

Dear Lovestar, I have been working on a new poetry journal, and honestly, my perfectionism is affecting me so deeply already! I only did a small amount of work and as good as I did (I wrote several brand new poems, and my handwriting was better than ever before)… all I noticed was the mistakes I made, and noticing the mistakes made me make more mistakes! And worse, I stopped the journaling… I…

“I've come to this belief that, if you show me a woman who can sit with a man in real vulnerability, in deep fear, and be with him in it, I will show you a woman who, A, has done her work and, B, does not derive her power from that man. And if you show me a man who can sit with a woman in deep struggle and vulnerability and not try to fix it, but just hear her and be with her and hold space for it, I'll show you a guy who's done his work and a man who doesn't derive his power from controlling and fixing everything.” —Brené Brown

Nella Morte Avvinti (In Death Conquered) by Roberto Ferri, the writing within the painting reads “qui deposito le mie lacrime... parte di me... frutto intimo che si fa specchio” / “here I deposit my tears... part of me... an intimate fruit... that becomes a mirror”
