-Trinley Thaye Dorje "Gyalwa Karmapa Trinley Thaye Dorje"
There are ships sailing to many ports, but not a single one goes where life is not painful.

-Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The pain of the flesh is naught to that of the heart.

"Kushiel's Chosen"

in its perverted form becomes your destiny.
-Deep Trivedi
Pure and complete sorrow is as impossible as pure and complete joy.
-Leo Tolstoy

- John O'donohue
"Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom"
