We often have need of a profound philosophy to restore to our feelings
their original state of innocence, to find our way out of the rubble
of things alien to us, to begin to feel for ourselves and to speak
ourselves, and I might almost say to exist ourselves.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
Don't be afraid of having a relationship with a strong woman.
There might come a day when she will be your only army.
Nizar Qabani
Walk with grief like a good friend.
Listen to what he says.
Sometimes the cold and dark of a cave
give the opening we most want.
Rumi
The essence of belief is doubt,
The essence of Time is Flow, not Fix.
The growing man is Man Alive, and his "philosophy"
The man too fixed today, unfixed tomorrow - and his body
the essence of reality is questioning.
The essence of faith is the knowledge that all flows
and that everything must change.
must grow, must flow, with him.
of beliefs is nothing but a series of fixations.
Thomas Wolfe
May you be for ever blessed
Isn't such a moment sufficient
for that moment of bliss and happiness
which you gave to another lonely and grateful heart.
for the whole of one's life?
Fyodor Dostoevsky
When your fear touches someone’s pain,
it becomes pity,
when your love touches someone’s pain,
it become compassion.
Stephen Levine
There are dreams of love, life, and adventure in all of us.
But we are also sadly filled with reasons why we shouldn’t try.
These reasons seem to protect us, but in truth they imprison us.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
