We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.
-Khalil Gibran
Pain and joy are like light and darkness; they are two sides of the same medal. They are interdependent and inseparably connected to each other.
There is nothing more "deceitful" than ego in this world. If you want to see,
carefully observe the people who unnecessarily show high moral, talk ethics,
visit temples or strictly follow rituals. Their entire being reverberates ego, yet
they are unaware of it.
-Deep Trivedi
They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.
-Tom Bodett
If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true were really true, there would be little hope of advancement.
-Orville Wright
The poet's job is to put into words those feelings we all have that are so deep, so important, and yet so difficult to name, to tell the truth in such a beautiful way, that people cannot live without it.
-Jane Kenyon
When a work appears to be ahead of its time, it is only the time that is behind the work.
-Jean Cocteau
