Beloved Quotes

“Many voices ask for our attention. There is a voice that says, 'Prove that you are a good person.' Another voice says, 'You’d better be ashamed of yourself.' There also is a voice that says, 'Nobody really cares about you,' and one that says, 'Be sure to become successful, popular, and powerful.' But underneath all these often very noisy voices is a still, small voice that says, 'You are my Beloved, my favor rests on you.' That’s the voice we need most of all to hear. To hear that voice, however, requires special effort; it requires solitude, silence, and a strong determination to listen.

That’s what prayer is. It is listening to the voice that calls us 'my Beloved'.”
― Henri J.M. Nouwen, Bread for the Journey

“Being in grief, it turns out, is not unlike being in love.
In both states, the imagination's entirely occupied with one person. The beloved dwells at the heart of the world, and becomes a Rome: the roads of feeling all lead to him, all proceed from him. Everything that touches us seems to relate back to that center: there is no other emotional life, no place outside the universe of feeling centered on its pivotal figure.”
― Mark Doty, Heaven's Coast: A Memoir

And had she crossed your path, and you had crushed her like a frail glass, still, Edmond, still she must have admired you!

No! there is nothing in the world to resemble you in worth and goodness!”
― Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo

“When we are in love, our love is too vast to be wholly contained within ourselves; it radiates outwards, reaches the resistant surface of the loved one, which reflects it back to its starting-point; and this return of our own tenderness is what we see as the other's feelings, working their new, enhanced charm on us, because we do not recognize them as having originated in ourselves.”
― Marcel Proust, In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower

My source of joy
You are the joy
You are the love

When I am in deep love, I gain the power of love,
When I feel beloved, I feel divine happiness.”

“I was talking about time. It`s so hard for me to believe in it. Some things go. Pass on. Some things just stay. I used to think it`s just my rememory. You know. Some things you forget. Other things you never do. But it`s not. [...] What I remember is a picture floating around out there outside my head. I mean, even if I don`t think it, even if I die, the picture of what I did, or knew, or saw is still out there. [...] Someday you be walking down the road and you hear something or see something going on. So clear. And you think it`s you thinking it up. A thought picture. But no. It`s when you bump into a rememory that belongs to somebody else.”
― Toni Morrison

Lost in the oubliette of conscious
I hide from the murkiest of shadows
Generate hope amidst fear

By taking the draperies of fate along
In desire of meeting my beloved in chaos
I drag my world where I belong...”
― Annie Ali

― Cate Tiernan, Immortal Beloved

“Real loved one's aren't afraid, and will suggest to
you, what's in your best interest because they wouldn't want too see you suffer the consequences of, sideways, emotional impulse(s).
