Distractions

[alianora]

I'm thinking of getting a third tattoo. A text tattoo. I haven't decided what or what font, but I have some ideas. All of these are from various ee cummings poems.

I've only begun to search for quotes, but here's what I like so far.


-trust your heart
if the seas catch fire

-and live by love
though the stars walk backward

-you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

-the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart

-little by little and was by was

-your eyes have their silence

-the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses

Cheesy, in places, and nothing Im contemplating seriously yet.


But, I'm curious, what are some quotes or sayings (lyrics, bible verses, whatever), that mean enough to you that you would ever consider engraving them into your skin?

I need the distraction. Please.


ETA: other distractions accepted. Also in need of: tumblr tags to search, awesome fic (currently reading anything not nailed down in Glee and SPN Dean/Castial or gen), fun vids, manga recs, cute animal pics...whatever...

I want a full back tattoo with the opening stanza of Beowulf, but that's just me.

Two of my three are text-based tattoos, but they're in Quenya and Japanese. One's fireheart, and one's fire demon. I thought that expressed my personality pretty well.

If I could get Non est ad astra mollis e terris via tattooed somewhere, I would. It means, "There's no easy way from the earth to the stars."
