Death and Life Gustav Klimt 1910 @ Leopold Museum in Vienna, Austria
an Austrian Symbolist painter, a prominent member of the Viennan Secession movement. Mostly produced paintings, sketches, murals and other objects. Typical subject matter was the female body, which is specifically marked with bold eroticism imagery. Most apparent in his sketches. I love his work! The Kiss, his most famous piece, is gorgeous.
“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense”
“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success!”-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Pushing Daisies (2007)
Ned (protagonist):
“Everything we do is a choice. Oatmeal or cereal. Highway or side streets. Kiss her or keep her. We make choices and we live with the consequences. If someone gets hurt along the way we ask for forgiveness. It’s the best anyone can do. ”

quotes:
We pass the time of day to forget how time passes.
Narrator: Amelie has a strange feeling of absolute harmony. It’s a perfect moment. A soft light, a scent in the air, the quiet murmur of the city. A surge of love, an urge to help mankind overcomes her.
“Dog Days Are Over” - Florence & The Machine
Althought it’s really difficult to pick just one favorite song of countless amazing options, I have to say that this is probably my most cherished song of all time (these days). I love Florence & The Machine, especially “Cosmic Love,” but when this song showed up in the Eat Pray Love trailer it was final. It’s so beautiful, her voice is incredible and the lyrics are all too true. Listen to it, it will change your life!
