It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.
-André Gide
You created the counterfeit and the genuine. You appraise all people. You appraise the true, and place them in Your treasury; You consign the false to wander in delusion.

-Mark Gorman
Cosmic consciousness is consciousness of the Divine in the entire universe, in all things, in all the world, in all nature.
The refined form of "human" body, mind, culture and consciousness that we

marriage, children, chasing wealth and pangs of old age.
-Deep Trivedi
There are moments when I wish I could roll back the clock and take all the sadness away, but I have the feeling that if I did, the joy would be gone as well.
-Nicholas Sparks
