You must train your intuition — you must trust the small voice inside you which tells you exactly what to say, what to decide.
Ingrid Bergman
It’s not so easy to train your intuition; how do you train yourself to say no to the girl whom you ‘hopefulessly’ romanticize about? Can you train your intuition to stay away from her because the world tells you she’s a bad choice — that it’s not the right time? Maybe later but not right now is the common consensus. Maybe to ‘train’ is simply just to ‘try and train’.
Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is.
- Louis de Bernières
Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion, it is not the desire to mate every second minute of the day, it is not lying awake at night imagining that she is kissing every cranny of your body. No, don’t blush, I am telling you some truths. That is just being “in love”, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.
Women are not at their ease except with those who take chances with them, and enter into their spirit.
by Ninon de l’Enclos
Sometimes it’s about “going for it”, grabbing what you want. I had a conversation with some friends lately regarding the matter; a lot of interesting opinions came up. I think to go for it is an innate personal characteristic that not everyone can just “do”. One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can’t just utter.
The quote above is rather more complicated to explain; I merely braised on the middle part. As for “their ease” and how to “enter”, well, that’s something we can discuss another time.
People should fall in love with their eyes closed. Just close your eyes. Don’t look and it’s magic.
Andy Warhol
sometimes, magic is all you need to get they day by.
