"Do you love me ...."

Do you love me because I'm beautiful, or am I beautiful because you love me?

Oscar Hammerstein II

"All things in the world are two ...."

All things in the world are two. In our minds we are two, good and evil. With our eyes we see two things, things that are fair and things that are ugly.... We have the right hand that strikes and makes for evil, and we have the left hand full of kindness, near the heart. One foot may lead us to an evil way, the other foot may lead us to a good. So are all things two, all two.

Eagle Chief (Letakos-Lesa) Pawnee

"Hundreds of flowers ...."

Hundreds of flowers in spring, the moon in autumn,

a cool breeze in summer, and snow in winter;

if there is no vain cloud in your mind

for you it is a good season.

Mumon Ekai (Wumen Huik’ai)

"He who loves, flies ...."

He who loves, flies, runs, and rejoices; he is free and nothing holds him back.

Henri Matisse

"If I didn't care for fun ...."

If I didn't care for fun and such,

I'd probably amount to much.

But I shall stay the way I am,

Because I do not give a damn.

Dorothy Parker, from “Enough Rope”
