Quote

We let a river shower its banks with a spirit that invades the people living there, and we protect that river, knowing that without its blessings the people have no source of soul.

Image
Usually, the main problem with life conundrums is that we don't bring to them enough imagination
Thomas Moore
Image
The key to seeing the world's soul, and in the process wakening our own, is to get over the confusion by which we think that fact is real and imagination is illusion.
Thomas Moore
Image
With what a deep devotedness of woe I wept thy absence - o'er and o'er again Thinking of thee, still thee, till thought grew pain, And memory, like a drop that, night and day, Falls cold and ceaseless, wore my heart away!
Thomas Moore
Image
Like the stain'd web that whitens in the sun, grow pure by being purely shone upon.
Thomas Moore
Image
All that's bright must fade, The brightest still the fleetest All that's sweet was made But to be lost when sweetest.
Thomas Moore
Image
Every season hath its pleasure Spring may boast her flowery prime, Yet the vineyard's ruby treasuries Brighten Autumn's sob'rer time.
Thomas Moore
Image
We need people in our lives with whom we can be as open as possible. To have real conversations with people may seem like such a simple, obvious suggestion, but it involves courage and risk.
Thomas Moore
Image
Rich and rare were the gems she wore, And a bright gold ring on her hand she bore.

What's important is finding out what works for you.
Thomas Moore
Image
A soulmate is someone to whom we feel profoundly connected, as though the communicating and communing that take place between us were not the product of intentional efforts, but rather a divine grace.
Thomas Moore
Image
The many great gardens of the world, of literature and poetry, of painting and music, of religion and architecture, all make the point as clear as possible: The soul cannot thrive in the absence of a garden. If you don't want paradise, you are not human and if you are not human, you don't have a soul.
Thomas Moore
Image
From plants that wake when others sleep, from timid jasmine buds that keep their odour to themselves all day, but when the sunlight dies away let the delicious secret out to every breeze that roams about.
Thomas Moore
Image
Fond memory brings the light of other days around me.
Thomas Moore
Image
Romantic love is an illusion. Most of us discover this truth at the end of a love affair or else when the sweet emotions of love lead us into marriage and then turn down their flames.
Thomas Moore
Image
Come o'er the sea, Maiden with me, Mine through the sunshine, storms and snows Seasons may roll, But the true soul Burns the same, where'er it goes.
Thomas Moore
Image
It is only through mystery and madness that the soul is revealed.
Thomas Moore
Image
Though an angel should write, still 'tis devils must print.
Thomas Moore
Image
Came but for friendship, and took away love.
Thomas Moore
Image
Disappointments in love, even betrayals and losses, serve the soul at the very moment they seem in life to be tragedies. The soul is partly in time and partly in eternity. We might remember the part that resides in eternity when we feel despair over the part that is in life.

You may break, you may shatter the vase, if you will, But the scent of the roses will hang round it still.
