The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.
-Bertrand Russell
The end is the beginning of all things, suppressed and hidden, awaiting to be released through the rhythm of pain and pleasure… Pain itself destroys pain. Suffering itself frees man from suffering.
If we open a quarrel between past and present, we shall find that we have lost the future.
-Winston S. Churchill
Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.
-Scott Adams
I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now.
-Paulo Coelho
There are ships sailing to many ports, but not a single one goes where life is not painful.
-Fernando Pessoa
Knowing that I am different from the body, I need not neglect the body. It is a vehicle that I use to transact with the world. It is the temple which houses the Pure Self within.
The sudden disappointment of a hope leaves a scar which the ultimate fulfillment of that hope never entirely removes.
-Thomas Hardy
Devotion to God’s Name is my lamp; In this lamp is poured the oil of suffering. The light of realisation burns away this oil…Vast loads of firewood are reduced to ashes by a tiny spark of fire.
When a work appears to be ahead of its time, it is only the time that is behind the work.
-Jean Cocteau
