The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one does.
- J. M. Barrie
For him who has completed the journey, for him who is sorrowless, for him who from everything is wholly free, for him who has destroyed all ties, the fever of passion exists not… He is like a pool, unsullied by mud; to such a balanced one, life’s wanderings do not arise. Calm is his mind, calm is his speech, calm is his action, who, rightly knowing, is wholly freed, perfectly peaceful and equipoised.
- Dhammapada
At night, I open the window and ask the moon to come and press its face against mine. Breathe into me. Close the language-door, and open the love-window. The moon won’t use the door, only the window.
- Rumi
What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.
- Oscar Wilde
One must believe in the possibility of happiness in order to be happy, and I now believe in it. Let the dead bury the dead, but while I'm alive, I must live and be happy.
- Leo Tolstoy
When a poet speaks to his own people, the voices of all other poets of other languages who have influenced him are speaking also.
- T. S. Eliot
Music is pleasing not only because of the sound but because of the silence that is in it: without the alternation of sound and silence there would be no rhythm.
- Thomas Merton
