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.

At the end of a bad relationship day.. Remember marriage is not a contest - never keep a score. God has put the two of you together on the same team.

I think it is all a matter of love; the more you love a memory the stronger and stranger it becomes.

Vladimir Nabokovquotes

Whoever wants music instead of noise, joy instead of pleasure, soul instead of gold, creative work instead of business, passion instead of foolery, finds no home in this trivial world of ours.

Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics. You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded. Because the elements, the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars. And the only way they could get into your body is if the stars were kind enough to explode. So forget Jesus. The stars died so you could be here today.

quotes

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their ways out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.

quotesElizabeth Kubler Ros

Society goes on telling you, “This is right, and that is wrong”—that is conscience. It becomes ingrained, implanted in you. You go on repeating it. That is worthless; that is not the real thing. The real thing is your own consciousness. It carries no ready-made answers about what is wrong and what is right, no. But immediately, in what-ever situation arises, it gives you light —you know immediately what to do

[Intellectualism] means you have to develop and independent mind and work on it, and that’s extremely hard to do alone. The beauty of our system is that it isolates everybody; each person sitting alone in front of the tubes. That’s very hard to have ideas or thoughts of the circumstances.
