You look at it, but it is not to be seen; Its name is Formless. You listen to it, but it is not to be heard; Its name is Soundless. You grasp it, but it is not to be held; Its name is Bodiless. These three elude all scrutiny. And hence they blend and become one.
When truth is discovered by someone else, it loses something of its attractiveness.
-Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Sometimes it seems your ever-increasing list of things to do can leave you feeling totally undone.
-Catherine Christie
Neither do we have to make the sun or moon rise nor manage gravitation. We do
not even have to convert the food that we eat into blood. All that we have to do
is, put our own life on the path of peace, bliss and success. Isn't it amusing that
we, who claim ourselves to be so intelligent, cannot do even this bit of work?
-Deep Trivedi
The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self-respect springs.
-Joan Didion
Music is the great uniter. An incredible force. Something that people who differ on everything and anything else can have in common.
-Sarah Dessen
Ester asked why people are sad.
“That’s simple,” says the old man. “They are the prisoners of their personal history. Everyone believes that the main aim in life is to follow a plan. They never ask if that plan is theirs or if it was created by another person. They accumulate experiences, memories, things, other people's ideas, and it is more than they can possibly cope with. And that is why they forget their dreams.”
-Paulo Coelho
