The magnificent believes half of what he hears and twice what he says.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
If there is a God, atheism must seem to Him as less of an insult than religion.
-Edmond De Goncourt
Let us live happily, we who have no impediments. We shall subsist on joy even as the radiant gods.
The greatest happiness you can have is knowing that you do not necessarily require happiness.
-William Saroyan
The mind exists in a state of “not enough” and so is always greedy for more. When you are identified with mind, you get bored and restless very easily. Boredom means the mind is hungry for more stimulus…it is not satisfied.
When you are inspired by some great purpose, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world.
