What we call life is only talk of nature.
-Dejan Stojanović
The soul that is attached to anything, however much good there may be in it, will not arrive at the liberty of Divine union. For whether it be a strong wire rope or a slender and delicate thread that holds the bird, it matters not, if it really holds it fast; for until the cord be broken, the bird cannot fly.
The difference between love and happiness is that those who talk about love tend to be in love, but those who talk about happiness tend to be not happy.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Who knows this truly, and who will now declare it, what paths lead together to the gods? Only their lowest aspects of existence are seen, who exist on supreme, mystical planes.
Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.
-Dalai Lama
The saddest people I've ever met in life are the ones who don't care deeply about anything at all. Passion and satisfaction go hand in hand, and without them, any happiness is only temporary, because there's nothing to make it last.
-Nicholas Sparks
