Sarah added a quote:
""So sweet and delicious do I become,
when I am in bed with a man
who, I sense, loves and enjoys me,
that the pleasure I bring excels all delight,
so the knot of love, however tight
it seemed before, is tied tighter still.""

"'What is there to see in Europe? I'll bet those foreigners can't show us a thing we haven't got right here in Georgia.'"Margaret Mitchell
Quote_tiny
Sarah added a quote:
"in time of daffodils(who know
the goal of living is to grow)
forgetting why,remember how

in time of lilacs who proclaim
the aim of waking is to dream,
remember so(forgetting seem)

in time of roses(who amaze
our now and here with paradise)
forgetting if,remember yes

in time of all sweet things beyond
whatever mind may comprehend,
remember seek(forgetting find)

and in a mystery to be
(when time from time shall set us free)
forgetting me,remember me"
E.E. Cummings

"It was always so hot, and everyone was so polite, and everything was all surface but underneath it was like a bomb waiting to go off. I always felt that way about the South, that beneath the smiles and southern hospitality and politeness were a lot of guns and liquor and secrets."
James McBride (The Color of Water 10th Anniversary Edition)


Anne Rivers Siddons
"That sinuous southern life, that oblique and slow and complicated old beauty, that warm thick air and blood warm sea, that place of mists and languor and fragrant richness..."
Anne Rivers Siddons (Colony)

"I want
To do with you what spring does with the cherry trees."
Pablo Neruda (Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair: Dual Language Edition)
