Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
-Mark Twain
I suppose that’s one of the ironies of life doing the wrong thing at the right moment.
-Charlie Chaplin
Seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe so that you may understand.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
Freedom is not the absence of commitments, but the ability to choose - and commit myself to - what is best for me.
-Paulo Coelho
For him who has completed the journey, for him who is sorrowless, for him who from everything is wholly free, for him who has destroyed all ties, the fever of passion exists not… He is like a pool, unsullied by mud; to such a balanced one, life’s wanderings do not arise. Calm is his mind, calm is his speech, calm is his action, who, rightly knowing, is wholly freed, perfectly peaceful and equipoised.
The reason that fiction is more interesting than any other form of literature, to those who really like to study people, is that in fiction the author can really tell the truth without humiliating himself.
-Jim Rohn
The sun, symbolising wisdom, divine knowledge and spiritual light, which receded from you when you revelled in the darkness of ignorance, delusion and sensuality, now joyously turns on its northward course and moves towards you to shed its light and warmth in greater abundance, and to infuse into you more life and energy.
We love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
