The secret of life is not enjoyment, but education through experience.
-Swami Vivekananda "Swami Vivekananda"
The secret of life is not enjoyment, but education through experience.
Life is as dear to the mute creature as it is to a man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not to die, so do other creatures.
If there's a thing I've learned in my life, it's to not be afraid of the responsibility that comes with caring for other people. What we do for love: those things endure. Even if the people you do them for, don't.
-Cassandra Clare
Every chapter in the Book of Life defines our character and tells us who we are
Don’t hate life and death or love life and death. Keep your every thought free of delusion, and in life you’ll witness the beginning of nirvana, and in death you’ll experience the assurance of no rebirth.
Nobody wants to be here and nobody wants to leave.
-Cormac McCarthy
"The Road"
All that is important is this one moment in movement. Make the moment important, vital and worth living. Do not let it slip away unnoticed and unused.
-Martha Graham
The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.
-Carl Gustav Jung
You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.
-Paulo Coelho
If you end up with a boring miserable life because you listened to your mom, your dad, your teacher, your priest, or some guy on television telling you how to do your shit, then you deserve it.
-Frank Zappa
