Quote from CARE OF THE SOUL...Thomas Moore ...to the soul, the most minute details and the most ordinary activities, carried out with mindfullness and art, have an effect far beyond their apparant insignificance.
Thomas Moore
Image
It may help us, in those times of trouble, to remember that love is not only about relationship, it is also an affair of the soul.
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.
Thomas Moore

Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.
Thomas Moore

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.

The young May moon is beaming, love. The glow-worm's lamp is gleaming, love. How sweet to rove, Through Morna's grove, When the drowsy world is dreaming, love! Then awake! - the heavens look bright, my dear, 'Tis never too late for delight, my dear, And the best of all ways To lengthen our days Is to steal a few hours from the night, my dear!

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
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
You may break, you may shatter the vase, if you will, But the scent of the roses will hang round it still.
Thomas Moore
Image
Rich and rare were the gems she wore, And a bright gold ring on her hand she bore.
Thomas Moore
Image
It is quite cruel that a poet cannot wander through his regions of enchantment without having a critic, forever, like the old man of the sea, upon his back.
Thomas Moore
Image
This is the right time, and this is the right thing.
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.

What's important is finding out what works for you.
Thomas Moore
Image
The problem in narcissism is not the high ideals and ambitions, it's the difficulty one encounters when trying to give them body.
Thomas Moore
Image
Go where we may, rest where we will, Eternal London haunts us still.

Silence is not an absence of sound but rather a shifting of attention toward sounds that speak to the soul.
