-Edith Södergran
If a man considers that he is born, he cannot avoid the fear of death. Let him find out if he has been born or if the Self has any birth. ...Find from where thoughts emerge. Then you will be able to abide in the ever-present inmost Self and be free from the idea of birth or the fear of death.

-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
To complain that I could only be married once was like complaining that I had only been born once.
-G. K. Chesterton
Just because you are blind, and unable to see my beauty doesn't mean it does not exist.
-Margaret Cho
Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.
-Michelangelo
Come behold this world, which is like unto an ornamented royal chariot, wherein fools flounder, but for the wise there in no attachment.
