The moment you know you know you know.

This is one moment, / But know that another / Shall pierce you with a sudden painful joy.

Pain or love or danger makes you real again....

Love sets fire to your schedule,
And then calls an end to time.

When people fall in love, they really become truthful, and when you’re truthful, no one can stop you from getting your truth heard.

When soul rises
Into lips
You feel the kiss
You have wanted

Real isn't how you are made,' said the Skin Horse. 'It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.'

'Does it hurt?' asked the Rabbit.

'Sometimes,' said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. 'When you are Real you don't mind being hurt.'

'Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,' he asked, 'or bit by bit?'

'It doesn't happen all at once,' said the Skin Horse. 'You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand.

Reality did not take long to intrude.

It's a miracle to realize that somebody loves you.

The moment you have the audacity to start believing in the not-yet seen, your reality will begin to shift.

The moment you have in your heart this extra-ordinary thing called love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will discover that for you the world is transformed.

Getting blown up happened in an instant; getting put together took the rest of your life.

but all of a sudden they’re poets, right, like that’s all it takes — being in love.

When they attack you and you notice that you love them with all your heart, your Work is done.
