Since feeling is firstwho pays any attentionto the syntax of thingswill never wholly kiss you;wholly to be a foolwhile Spring is in the worldmy blood approves, and kisses are a far better fatethan wisdomlady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry--the best gesture of my brain is less thanyour eyelids' flutter which sayswe are for eachother: thenlaugh, leaning back in my armsfor life's not a paragraph And death i think is no parenthesis . E.e. Cummings
About This Quote

The greatest pleasure in life is that of being loved. This quote is taken from the German poet, Rainer Maria Rilke, who said: "Since feeling is first, we should never forget that we are first and foremost 'feeling beings'. We should not put words before feelings, nor be satisfied with mere sounds and syllables. We should feel and feel deeply."
