Quotations
Life
You say: “He lost his life” or “my life”, as if life were something that you can possess or lose. The truth is: you don’t have a life, you are life. The One Life, the one consciousness that pervades the entire universe and takes temporary form to experience itself as a stone or blade of grass, as an animal, a person, a star or a galaxy.
-Eckhart Tolle "Eckhart Tolle"
You can live your whole life not realizing that what you're looking for is right in front of you.
-David Nicholas
The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it.
-Carl Gustav Jung

-Paulo Coelho
