If you look close enough, you'll see it dancing in my eyes, feel it in my touch, even hear it in my voice...But don't ever forget that fire consumes and cannot be contained so I must master my energetic output to control the flames.","author":"Sanjo Jendayi","tags":["encouraging","energy","fire","flames","heat","life","love","sanjo-jendayi","touch"],"id":1623,"author_id":"Sanjo+Jendayi"},{"text":"If there is still one hellish, truly accursed thing in our time, it is our artistic dallying with forms, instead of being like victims burnt at the stake, signaling through the flames.","author":"Antonin Artaud","tags":["art","culture","flames","form","formalism","martyrdom","passion"],"id":5478,"author_id":"Antonin+Artaud"},{"text":"LET THE FLAMES BEGIN!","author":"Hayley Williams","tags":["begin","flames","game","hayley","hayley-williams","hurt","let","let-the-flames-begin","paramore","revenge","vengeance"],"id":6090,"author_id":"Hayley+Williams"},{"text":"When a fire rises, don't be quick to worry.
