Haphazard Quoting and Introspectivness

2010.05.18

Today is the day to quote others:

“I voice your silent pain I yelled your hearts whispers..” Anthony Shears (song stuck in my head)

"Life is all memory except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going." Tennessee williams

"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.” Oscar Wilde (yes, I see the irony and am choosing to ignore it today)

"Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born."
Anais Nin

"No one would talk much in society, if he knew how often he misunderstands others." Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“He lives the poetry that he cannot write. The others write the poetry that they dare not realize.” Oscar Wilde

I like the delicate portrait of you.
The quotation I feel mine and love is:
"Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born" -- Anais Nin

I quote myself: "Chi riesce a farti ridere, quello già ti possiede, in certa misura, perché, infine, ti seduce". (translated: The one who makes you laugh, already possesses you to some extent, because in the end he seduces you)

Lovely portrait and interesting quotes. I too like the one by Anais Nin.

@firehorsecri: very interesting quote

I've always thought that and said it with very similar words, but I wanted to use exactly the words of an Italian poet and writer... dead yesterday in mysterious circumstances... in his honour.
