Dixit et avertens rosea cervice refulsit,
Ambrosiaeque comae divinum vertice odorem
Spiravere; pedes vestis defluxit ad imos,
Et vera incessu patuit dea.

She said no more and as she turned away there was a
bright glimpse of the rosy glow of her neck, and
from her ambrosial head of hair a heavenly
fragrance wafted; her dress flowed down right to her
feet, and in her walk it showed, she was in truth a
goddess.
-- Virgil

passages from "Brida" by Paulo Coelho

[animus_mentis]

Whenever she sat still, just looking at something, she got the feeling that she was wasting precious time when she should be doing things or meeting people. She could be spending her time so much better, because there was still so much to learn. And yet, as the sun sank lower on the horizon, and the clouds filled up with the rays of gold and pink, Brida had the feeling that what she was struggling for in life was exactly this, to be able to sit one day and contemplate just such a sunset (78-79).

"I just want to say one things to you," she said. "Don't bother trying to explain your emotions. Live everything as intensely as you can and keep whatever you felt as a gift from God. If you think that you won't be able to stand a world in which living is more important than understanding, then give up magic now. The best way to destroy the bridge between the visible and the invisible is by trying to explain your emotions."

Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.
Never let a man define who you are.
--If A Man Wants You

Poor little misunderstood baby
No one likes a sad face
But I can't remember life without him
I think I did have good days
I'm sure I did have good days
-"Just Hold Me" by Maria Mena

"I can't die now. I haven't been happy yet."
