Those who read books cannot understand the teachings and, what’s more, may even go astray. But those who try to observe the things going on in the mind, and always take that which is true in their own minds as their standard; never get muddled.
Keep your body as clean as possible, your mind as clear as possible. That’s all you need. And do it in any way you can, in your own way. It doesn’t matter. And then you’ll be useful.
When a poet speaks to his own people, the voices of all other poets of other languages who have influenced him are speaking also.
-T. S. Eliot
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
I can choose either to be a victim of the world or an adventurer in search of treasure. It's all a question of how I view my life.
-Paulo Coelho
Things which you do not hope happen more frequently than things which you do hope.
-Titus Maccius Plautus
I'll never forget how the depression and loneliness felt good and bad at the same time. Still does.
-Henry Rollins
Are we Hindu and Indian? Christian and American?... Or a unique human being
born on this earth? The choice that you make here will decide the path of your
life.
-Deep Trivedi
We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.
