I was wasting my life, always thinking about myself.
-Morrissey
Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.
To understand oneself profoundly, one needs balance. Neither renunciation nor acquiescence.
Happiness is like those palaces in fairytales whose gates are guarded by dragons: We must fight in order to conquer it.
-Alexandre Dumas
Your hopes, dreams and aspirations are legitimate. They are trying to take you airborne, above the clouds, above the storms, if you only let them.
-William James
Why are old lovers able to become friends? Two reasons. They never truly loved each other, or they love each other still.
-Whitney Otto
Music is an agreeable harmony for the honor of God and the permissible delights of the soul.
-Johann Sebastian Bach
No mind, no form, I only exist; Now ceased all will and thought. The final end of the Nature’s dance; I am it whom I have sought. A realm of bliss bare, ultimate, beyond both knower and known. A rest immense I enjoy at last; I face the one alone. I have crossed the secret ways of life; I have become the Goal. The Truth immutable is revealed; I am the way, the God-Soul. My spirit aware of all the heights, I am mute in the core of the Sun. I barter nothing with time and deeds; my cosmic play is done.
There is always sufficient reason for despair, but there is never sufficient purpose.
-Robert Brault
