Quoted in the Grove:
In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.
~Buddha
To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.
~Mary Oliver
There are only three things to be done with a woman. You can love her, suffer for her, or turn her into literature.
~Lawrence Durrell

Posted from the Grove:
Readers of the Post & Review will notice the rare occasion when individual quotes reappear in a different context. Just as words are used and reused to provide different shadings in their instance, so too can individual thoughts be reemployed to contribute different colorations of meaning. Well-made quotes are beautiful in their succinctness and contribute a special sparkle, as tho gems to a necklace of thought. This editor asks your forbearance if he reintroduces an old friend who stopped by to help

01/28 – wanton, royal, dignity, talent
Lord of the Manor to the Manor Bourne
He bears the title, his bearing is tipsy regal; Sire does not bear up well, his walk a spineless wiggle
01/21 – cascade, trinket
Life By a Woodland Getaway
Desperate for answers, a plunge into wilderness; the imperial trees and diamond rain house a Voice, the same from a burning bush; silly man, It said, correct answers come after the test
~Greymane: A Vision
Beauty as temptation, a quest, a toxin, god’s gift, an invitation to ruination; run, chase after it or race to escape it, but run
