 Inner Fire Quotes

People admire inner bonfires that burn so bright, and out of ignorance to these things, they gather around and think that the bonfire is some kind of blessing on their behalf, is some kind of untouched thing that knows only the purity of everything. It’s all ignorance. The larger the bonfire, and the brighter it burns, the more evident the fact that it has consumed more wood and more air than the smaller ones. You burn because you have to burn. And you’re not burning for others, you’re not burning to be a blessing; you burn because you have to burn.

Let the one before you not witness your inner fight;

Keep your chaotic thoughts and emotions tight.

For now, it is your soul that I test,

Which is where yourself you manifest.

Learn not to fall to evil in disguise.

Confuse the one before you, as you are confused;

Never let your feelings be used or abused.

That one,” the merchant said, pointing to Käthe, whose head lolled against my shoulder, “burns like kindling. All flash, and no real heat. But you,” he said. “You smolder, mistress.

Most curious.” A slow grin spread over his mouth. “Most curious, indeed.

Do you like flowers, Lady Eleanor?”

It was him speaking. Lord Blunt. Asking her opinion on something, of all things.

It was unexpected.

And everyone was waiting for her answer. Or so it seemed.

“I do, thank you.” Why did his simple question make her want to shout, or scream, or say something in Italian?

A language that she’d learned that seemed to hold all the emotion she wasn’t allowed to have. So she loved it all the more.

“They are… bellissimi fiori,” she said, feeling daring as she spoke.

“Speak so that everyone can understand, Eleanor,” her mother said reprovingly.

“Of course, Mother,” Eleanor replied, lowering her eyes so nobody would see the spark of defiance she knew was there.

Courage is fire, and bullying is smoke.

Benjamin Disraeli

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

Bruce Lee

Now Autumn’s fire burns slowly along the woods and day by day the dead leaves fall and melt.

William Allingham

Technology is, of course, a double edged sword. Fire can cook our food but also burn us.

Jason Silva

Jonathan Livingston Seagull . . . was no ordinary bird. Most gulls don’t bother

to learn more than the simplest facts of flight— how to get from shore to food

and back again. For most gulls, it is not flying that matters, but eating. For this

gull, though, it was not eating that mattered, but flight. More than anything else,

Jonathan Livingston Seagull loved to fly.

—Richard Bach, Jonathan Livingston Seagull

You grow most in your areas of greatest strength. You will improve the most, be the

most creative, be the most inquisitive, and bounce back the fastest in those areas

where you have already shown some natural advantage over everyone else— your

strengths. This doesn’t mean you should ignore your weaknesses. It just means

you’ll grow most where you’re already strong.

—Marcus Buckingham, Now, Discover Your Strengths

Losses aren’t cataclysmic if they teach the heart and

soul their natural cycle of breaking and healing. A

real tragedy? That’s the loss of the heart and soul

themselves. If you’ve abandoned yourself in the effort

to keep anyone or anything else, unlearn that pattern.

Live your truth, losses be damned. Just like that, your

heart and soul will return home.

—Martha Beck
