The way I choose to show my feelings is through my songs.
-Marianne Faithfull
Self-respect is the root of discipline: The sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself.
-Abraham Joshua Heschel
If you seek to understand the whole universe you will understand nothing at all but seek to understand yourself and you will understand the whole universe.
When we experience the creative impulse in the universe vibrating and pulsating in our bodies and minds, we experience a powerful sense of purposefulness. When you awaken to evolution, you awaken to a profound sense of directionality that is inherent in the life force, inherent in existence itself.

No matter what country or culture you’re from, you always believe in friendship, you always believe in human values, and you always believe in peace.
All ups and downs help you to find a balance in your being. No more ups and downs, but bliss, joy, silence and gratitude.
