E.E. Cummings quotes

A politician is an arse upon which everyone has sat except a man.

kisses are a better fate / than wisdom

We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit.

It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.

Unbeing dead isn’t being alive.
