I don't create poetry, I create myself, for me my poems are a way to me.
-Edith Södergran
I thank God for my handicap, for through them I have found myself, my work and my God.
-Helen Keller
If you carefully look at the vastness of the universe or the enormous depths
of the ocean with awareness even for a second, all your sorrows will get
dissipated; because then you will be left with no pride of being someone "great"
or "exceptional".
-Deep Trivedi
Those who can win a war well can rarely make a good peace and those who could make a good peace would never have won the war.
-Winston S. Churchill
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.
Come behold this world, which is like unto an ornamented royal chariot, wherein fools flounder, but for the wise there is no attachment.
The writer may very well serve a movement of history as its mouthpiece, but he cannot of course create it.
-Karl Marx
