Today I was listening to a random playlist generated from my iTunes library (while studying of course). And two of the songs were pretty perfect for today, since it is Valentine's day and all…Thought I'd share for all you love-bugs out there!!
This song is by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, but these two are precious singing it.
"I am grateful to have been loved and to be loved now and to be able to love, because that liberates. Love liberates. It doesn't just hold—that's ego. Love liberates. It doesn't bind. Love says, 'I love you. I love you if you're in China. I love you if you're across town. I love you if you're in Harlem. I love you. I would like to be near you. I'd like to have your arms around me. I'd like to hear your voice in my ear. But that's not possible now, so I love you. Go.” Dr. Maya Angelou
"If a human being dreams a great dream, dares to love somebody; if a human being dares to be Martin King, or Mahatma Gandhi, or Mother Theresa, or Malcolm X; if a human being dares to be bigger than the condition into which she or he was born—it means so can you. And so you can try to stretch, stretch, stretch yourself so you can internalize, 'Homo sum, humani nil a me alienum puto. I am a human being, nothing human can be alien to me.' That's one thing I'm learning.”Dr. Maya Angelou
"Belief in oneself and knowing who you are, I mean, that's the foundation for everything great." Jay-Z
