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

Thomas Moore
Image
The ordinary acts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest.

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
It is precisely because we resist the darkness in ourselves that we miss the depths of the loveliness, beauty, brilliance, creativity, and joy that lie at our core.
Thomas Moore
Image
I have plenty of machinery around me what I really need is a more enchanting world in which to live and work.
Thomas Moore
Image
T'is the last rose of summer, Left blooming alone.
Thomas Moore
Image
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.
Thomas Moore
Image
Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.
Thomas Moore
Image
It is only through mystery and madness that the soul is revealed.
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 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
