Our souls shall keep it always now! ~ Elizabeth Chase Allen

They are on their own path and if you do anything, pity them for not yet knowing what love is all about. ~ Kate McGahan

ourselves so important? ~ Julie Kagawa

Here is, in truth, the whole secret of Yoga, the science of the soul. The active turnings, the strident vibrations, of selfishness, lust and hate are to be stilled by meditation, by letting heart and mind dwell in spiritual life, by lifting up the heart to the strong, silent life above, which rests in the stillness of eternal love, and needs no harsh vibration to convince it of true being. ~ Patanjali

And you will prevent him from doing anything that makes him fall down in people's eyes. ~ Rajneesh

We kissed like two hot and horny teenagers, our mouths moving and craving each others lips, in animalistic desires! ~ Keira D. Skye
