I need the pain of loneliness to make my imagination work.
-Orhan Pamuk
The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.
From every human being there rises a light that reaches straight to heaven, and when two souls that are destined to be together find each other, the streams of light flow together and a single brighter light goes forth from that united being.
-Baal Shem Tov
There is nothing wrong with God’s creation. Mystery and suffering only exist in the mind.
There is a sacred horror about everything grand. It is easy to admire mediocrity and hills; but whatever is too lofty, a genius as well as a mountain, an assembly as well as a masterpiece, seen too near, is appalling.
One man’s justice is another’s injustice; one man’s beauty, another’s ugliness; one man’s wisdom, another’s folly.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
I never did give anybody hell. I just told the truth and they thought it was hell.
-Harry S. Truman
Do not seek the because - in love there is no because, no reason, no explanation, no solutions.
