CHARLIE CHAPLIN:"Am iertat greseli de neiertat,am incercat sa inlocuiesc persoane de neinlocuit si sa uit persoane de neuitat. Am actionat din impuls,am fost dezamagit de oameni pe care-i credeam incapabili sa ma dezamageasca,insa am dezamagit si eu oameni. Am tinut pe cate cineva in brate pentru a-l proteja. Am ras cand nu trebuia. Mi-am facut prieteni vesnici. Am iubit si am raspuns iubirii,dar am fost si refuzat. Am fost iubit si n-am stiut sa iubesc. Am strigat si am sarit de atata fericire,am trait pentru dragoste si am facut promisiuni de vesnicie,dar mi-am frant inima de atatea ori! Am plans ascultand muzica sau privind fotografii Am telefonat doar pentru a auzi un glas,m-am indragostit de un suras. Am crezut ca mor de atata nostalgie. Mi-a fost frica ca voi pierde un om deosebit(pe care in final l-am si pierdut)....dar am supravietuit. Si traiesc inca! Si viata,nu mi-o irosesc...si nici tu nu trebuie sa ti-o irosesti.Traieste! Ceea ce este cu adevarat bine,este de a te lupta cu convingere,de a imbratisa viata si a trai cu pasiune,de a pierde cu demntate si a invinge cu indrazneala,pentru ca lumea apartine aceluia care indrazneste si viata inseamna prea mult pentru a fi insignifianta."

“In an infinite Universe anything can happen.”
― Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

They say, ”Man is wrong; man should change himself,” yet no one stands up to question whether
things aren’t like they are because our culture and religion, unable to fill man with love after ten
thousand years, are based on false values.

Love is within man. It is not imported from the outside. It is not a commodity to be purchased when
we go to the markets. It is there as the fragrance of life. It is inside everyone. The search for love,
the wooing of love, is not a positive action; it is not an overt act whereby you have to go somewhere
and draw it out.

Love is shut up inside man; it need only be released.

Love is also inside us. Love is our inherent nature.

Nothing can stifle love. Love is inevitable. Love is our nature.

The natural obstructions, the apparent
oppositions seen in nature, are challenges to arouse energy; they serve as clarion calls to arouse
what is latent inside

Love is the transformation of sex energy.

Diamonds and coal are the same: they are two points on a journey by
the same element.

Another important consideration is that man cannot be separated from sex. Sex is his primary point;
he is born of it.

But the tongue never lies. Words only pop out of one’s mouth if there is something on one’s mind;
the tongue never makes a mistake.

We
are what our weaknesses are. But we decide to curb them; we resolve to fight against them – and
naturally, this becomes a source of subconscious conflict.

But one should always be wary of those who swear because there is something much deeper
involved when one resolves something.

Restrained people
are very dangerous, because a live volcano exists inside them. Outwardly they are rigid and full of
restraint, while their urge to let go is tightly harnessed inside.

Because of condemnation, sex
has become an obsession, a disease, a perversion. It has become poisoned.

At this stage I wish to give you the first principle. If you want to know the elemental truth about love,
the first requisite is to accept the sacredness of sex, to accept the divinity of sex in the same way
you accept God’s existence – with an open heart.And the more fully you accept sex with an open
heart and mind, the freer you will be of it.


In nature, there is a fundamental unity, a harmony. The natural obstructions, the apparent
oppositions seen in nature, are challenges to arouse energy; they serve as clarion calls to arouse
what is latent inside. There is no disharmony in nature.

I wish to draw your attention to the fact that the basic obstructions are man-made, are created by
man himself – otherwise the river of love would flow freely and reach the ocean of God.

Love is the transformation of sex energy. The
flowering of love is from the seed of sex.

A quarrel between man and his energy has been forced upon him. Man has been taught to
fight against his sex energy, to oppose his sex urges.

If God considers sex as sin, then there is no
greater sinner than God in this world, no greater sinner in this universe.

What I want to say is this: sex is divine. The primal energy of sex has the reflection of God in it. It is
obvious: it is the energy that creates new life. And that is the greatest, most mysterious force of all.

And as sinful and irreverent as your approach is, that is how ugly
and sinful the sex that confronts you will be.

And the more fully you accept sex with an open
heart and mind, the freer you will be of it.

The total acceptance of life, of all that is natural in life, of all that
is God-given in life, will lead you to the highest realms of divinity – to heights that are unknown, to
heights that are sublime

let them take you for your money , for your heart, even for the body part. let them have the lion's share of all and hide what's left in irridiscent dreams and milk-white memories of who we are and what could be. w.c.pelon

“ Love can come when you’re already who you are, when you’re filled with you. Not when you look to someone else to fill the empty space.
— Deb Calett

Morning walks and bedroom talks. Oh, how I loved you then.
— Jim Croce

I will love you as we grow older, which has just happened, and has happened again, and happened several days ago, continuously, and then several years before that, and will continue to happen as the spinning hands of every clock and the flipping pages of every calendar mark the passage of time, except for the clocks that people have forgotten to wind and the calendars that people have forgotten to place in a highly visible area. I will love you as we find ourselves farther and farther from one another, where once we were so close that we could slip the curved straw, and the long, slender spoon, between our lips and fingers respectively. I will love you until the chances of us running into one another slip from skim to zero, and until your face is fogged by distant memory, and your memory faced by distant fog, and your fog memorized by a distant face, and your distance distanced by the memorized memory of a foggy fog.

You must learn day by day, year by year, to broaden your horizons. The more things you love, the more you are interested in, the more you enjoy, the more you are indignant about- the more you have left if anything goes wrong.
— Ethel Barrymore

A person can’t deserve someone’s love more than someone else. It’s sort of the nature of the beast, that love is given freely and without condition, regardless of whether you’ve “earned” or “deserved” it.


— from The Beatrice Letters by Lemony Snicket

I think of you in the in-between spaces, in the pause before the next heartbeat, in the clench of my chest before I exhale, in the swell of courage before I say hello. And perhaps, one day our lives will occupy one space, touched shoulders, clasped hands, shared secrets. kitkat pecson

Some people meet the way the sky meets the earth, inevitably, and there is no stopping or holding back their love. It exists in a finished world, beyond the reach of common sense.
— Louise Erdrich

This is a good sign, having a broken heart. It means we have tried for something.
— Elizabeth Gilbert

Every minute you spend with someone gives them a part of your life and takes part of theirs.
— Ally Condie

He loved her, he loved her, and until he’d loved her she had never minded being alone.
— Truman Capote

[She] stared into the fire for some time, thinking about what she had in her life, and what she had given up; and whether it would be worse to love someone who was no longer there, or not to love someone who was.
— The Wedding Present, Neil Gaiman

I don’t want to live. I want to love first, and live incidentally.
— Zelda Fitzgerald

I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together.
— Lisa Kleypas

There comes a point when you just love someone. Not because they’re good, or bad, or anything really. You just love them. It doesn’t mean you’ll be together forever. It doesn’t mean you won’t hurt each other. It just mean you love them. Sometimes in spite of who they are, and sometimes because of who they are. And you know that they love you, sometimes because of who you are, and sometimes in spite of it.
— Laurell K. Hamilton

The Only Thought

The only thought you think
is the thought which you learned to think.

The only life you live
is the life you have chosen to live.

The only space you need, is time.
The only time you have, is now.
Hugo J.K. de Vries

Be thou not dismayed,
for I AM forever here.

Pain comes not from others,
but lies deep within ourselves.

Nu mi-e rău ca să-mi fie bine,
Mi-e rău ca să-mi fie şi mai rău.
Ca marea cu valuri verzi, înşelătoare,
Nici durerii nu-i poţi ghici fundul.

Fac scufundări în durerea pură,
Esenţă de ţipăt şi disperare,
Şi mă întorc la suprafaţă vânăt
Ca un scafandru care şi-a pierdut
Rezervorul de oxigen. (m.sorescu-durere pura)

“What did my arms do before they held you?”
― Sylvia Plath

“I lean to you, numb as a fossil. Tell me I'm here.”
― Sylvia Plath

“We should meet in another life, we should meet in air,
Me and you.”

“Kiss me and you'll know how important I am.”
― Sylvia Plath

Life's Instructions

Have a firm handshake.
Look people in the eye.
Sing in the shower.
Own a great stereo system.
If in a fight, hit first and hit hard.
Keep secrets.
Never give up on anybody. Miracles happen everyday.
Always accept an outstretched hand.
Be brave. Even if you're not, pretend to be. No one can tell the difference.
Whistle.
Avoid sarcastic remarks.
Choose your life's mate carefully. From this one decision will come 90 per cent of all your happiness or misery.
Make it a habit to do nice things for people who will never find out.
Lend only those books you never care to see again.
Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all that they have.
When playing games with ! children, let them win.
Give people a second chance, but not a third.
Be romantic.
Become the most positive and enthusiastic person you know.
Loosen up. Relax. Except for rare life-and-death matters, nothing is as important as it first seems.
Don't allow the phone to interrupt important moments. It's there for our convenience, not the caller's.
Be a good loser.
Be a good winner.
Think twice before burdening a friend with a secret.
When someone hugs you, let them be the first to let go.
Be modest. A lot was accomplished before you were born.
Keep it simple.
Beware of the person who has nothing to lose.
Don't burn bridges. You'll be surprised how many times you have to cross the same river.
Live your life so that your epitaph could read, No Regrets
Be bold and courageous. When you look back on life, you'll regret the
things you didn't do more than the one's you did.
Never waste an opportunity to tell someone you love them.
Remember no one makes it alone. Have a grateful heart and be quick to acknowledge those who helped you.
Take charge of your attitude. Don't let someone else choose it for you.
Visit friends and relatives when they are in hospital; you need only stay a few minutes.
Begin each day with some of your favorite music.
Once in a while, take the scenic route.
Send a lot of Valentine cards. Sign them, 'Someone who thinks you're terrific.'
Answer the phone with enthusiasm and energy in your voice.
Keep a note pad and pencil on your bed-side table. Million-dollar ideas sometimes strike at 3 a.m.
Show respect for everyone who works for a living, regardless of how trivial their job.
Send your loved ones flowers. Think of a reason later.
Make someone's day by paying the toll for the person in the car behind you.
Become someone's hero.
Marry only for love.
Count your blessings.
Compliment the meal when you're a guest in someone's home.
Wave at the children on a school bus.
Remember that 80 per cent of the success in any job is based on your ability to deal with people.
Don't expect life to be fair.

When they finished laughing they were on their way to being not just friends, but the dearest of friends, the sort of friends whose lives are shaped by the friendship.
Spindle’s End, Robin McKinley

But who can remember pain, once it’s over? All that remains of it is a shadow, not in the mind even, in the flesh. Pain marks you, but too deep to see. Out of sight, out of mind.
The Handmaid’s Tale, Margaret Atwood

You are part of my existence, part of myself. You have been in every line I have ever read, since I first came here, the rough common boy whose poor heart you wounded even then. You have been in every prospect I have ever seen since – on the river, on the sails of the ships, on the marshes, in the clouds, in the light, in the darkness, in the wind, in the woods, in the sea, in the streets. You have been the embodiment of every graceful fancy that my mind has ever become acquainted with. The stones of which the strongest London buildings are made, are not more real, or more impossible to displace with your hands, than your presence and influence have been to me, there and everywhere, and will be. Estella, to the last hour of my life, you cannot choose but remain part of my character, part of the little good in me, part of the evil.
Great Expectations, Charles Dickens

“When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That’s the message he is sending.” ~Thich Nhat Hanh

“Through my love for you, I want to express my love for the whole cosmos, the whole of humanity, and all beings. By living with you, I want to learn to love everyone and all species. If I succeed in loving you, I will be able to love everyone and all species on Earth… This is the real message of love.” ~Thich Nhat Hanh

“For things to reveal themselves to us, we need to be ready to abandon our views about them.” ~Thich Nhat Hanh

“Sometimes what you want the most is what you’re better off without.”

“It’s just like losing someone you love. Even when you know it’s the best thing, it still hurts.” ~Nora Roberts

Marlin: How do you know that nothing bad won’t happen?
Dory: I don’t.”
~Finding Nemo

“There will always be people in your life, Sweet Angel, who hold you back, who cost you too much, and who fail to see all you’ve done for them. But, of course, they’re just there to teach you that you do have time, that you’ll always be rich, and that your own high standards are all that matter.Sounds like a good deal to me, Sweet Angel.” ~You knew that, The Universe

“That’s the only reason people get angry. Because they’re hurt. They get angry to cover up the hurt.” ~Ruthie from Real World Hawaii

“I saw you today for the first time in a while and my brain doesn’t seem to remember that I don’t love you anymore. It plagued me with complete lack of speech, shaky hands, and the inability to look you in the eye without smiling.”

“A guy and a girl can be just friends but at one point or another, they will fall for each other. Maybe temporarily, maybe at the wrong time, maybe too late, or maybe forever.” ~Dave Matthews

“I hope that someday, somebody wants to hold you for twenty minutes straight, and that’s all they do. They don’t pull away. They don’t look at your face. They don’t try to kiss you. All they do is wrap you up in their arms, without an ounce of selfishness in it.”

bukowski

Learn, he says, that there will be hours, days
and months ahead of feeling absolutely terrible
and nothing can change that; neither new
girlfriends, health professionals, changes of diet, dope, humility, or
God.

I suppose like others
I have come through fire and sword,
love gone wrong,
head-on crashes, drunk at sea,
and I have listened to the simple sound of water running
in tubs
and wished to drown

"being alone never felt right. sometimes it felt good, but it never felt right."

"I drive around the streets
an inch away from weeping,
ashamed of my sentimentality and
possible love."

"your letters got sadder. your lovers betrayed you. kid, I wrote back, all lovers betray. it didn't help. you said you had a crying bench and it was by a bridge and the bridge was over the river and you sat on the crying bench every night and wept for the lovers who had hurt and forgotten you."

so it's always a process of letting go, one way or another

"Finally there is nothing here for death to take away."

"Our disappointment sits between us."

"as she
drove me through the hills everything screamed inside of
me, and I kept saying as we drove along
(to myself, of course)
fucker, it will pass,
everything passes,
it's all a joke
a joke on you"

"Belane, are you nuts?"
Who knows? Insanity is comparative. Who sets the norm?"

"I feel strangely normal."

"and getting dressed we talk about what else there might be to do, but being together solves most of it, in fact, solves all of it"

"I can never drive my car over a bridge without thinking of suicide.
I can never look at a lake or an ocean without thinking of suicide."

"I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:
Exit seraphim and Satan's men:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)"

sylvia plath- mad girl's love song

'All that is gold does not glitter'

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

J.R.R. Tolkien

"there is a place in the heart that
will never be filled

a space

and even during the
best moments
and
the greatest times
times

we will know it

we will know it
more than
ever

there is a place in the heart that
will never be filled
and

we will wait
and
wait

in that space."
— Charles Bukowski

Touch me
by A Thomas Hawkins

Touch me,
it doesn't matter where
and it doesnt matter how
I need to know I'm still alive
so someone touch me now
Shake my hand and say hello
or pat me on the back
kiss me on the cheek
that I may feel this sense I lack
slap my face and pull my hair
make me bleed I just don't care
dig your nails into my skin
so I can feed this need within
I've been numb for such a time
that even pain would be sublime
so touch me, touch me now
i don't care where, I don't care how

l'inconnue de la seine

"If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is."
— Charles Bukowski (Factotum)

"We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing. "
— Charles Bukowski

"there are worse things
than being alone
but it often takes
decades to realize this
and most often when you do
it's too late
and there's nothing worse
than too late"
— Charles Bukowski

"You have to die a few times before you can really
live."

"I loved you like a man loves a woman he never touches, only writes to, keeps little photographs of."

"I felt like crying but nothing came out. it was just a sort of sad sickness, sick sad, when you can't feel any worse. I think you know it. I think everybody knows it now and then. but I think I have known it pretty often, too often."

“There comes a point when you just love someone. Not because they’re good, or bad, or anything really. You just love them. It doesn’t mean you’ll be together forever. It doesn’t mean you won’t hurt each other. It just mean you love them. Sometimes in spite of who they are, and sometimes because of who they are. And you know that they love you, sometimes because of who you are, and sometimes in spite of it.” ~Laurell K. Hamilton (Incubus Dreams)

what i wouldn't do to be tired of you (last night)

now you've ruined the kitchen... because you've been in it

Bits and pieces.
People. People important to you.
People unimportant to you cross your
life, touch it with love and move on.
There are people who leave you, and you
breathe a sigh of relief and wonder why
you ever came in contact with them.
There are people who leave you, and you
breathe a sigh of remorse and wonder
why they had to go and leave such a
gaping hole.

Children leave parents. Friends
leave friends. Acquaintances move on.
People change homes. People grow
apart. Enemies hate and move on.
Friends love and move on. You think if
the many who have moved into your hazy
memory. You look at those present and
wonder.

I believe in God’s master plan in
lives. He moves people in and out of each
other’s lives, and each leaves his mark on
the other. You find you are made up of
bits and pieces of all who ever touched
your life, and you are more because of it,
and you would be less if they had not
touched you.

Pray God that you accept the bits
and pieces in humility, and wonder and
never question, and never regret.
Bits and pieces
Bits and pieces

After all is said and done, I still think you’re amazing. I still cherish every moment I spent with you, every smile you brought to my face. I’ll be forever thankful that someone like you was brought into my life, even if you had to leave much too soon for my liking. See you were my miracle. You were the fairytale I got to live.

"I have had prayers answered - most strangely so sometimes - but I think our Heavenly Father's loving-kindness has been even more evident in what He has refused me." Lewis Carroll

your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it (rumi)

It's hard to find someone when you can't keep your cards close to your chest. What's the point of keeping anything close to your chest when the very thing you're trying to conceal is exposed and dirty and bruised for all to see?

After you left, I decided to try and see if I could live without it.

Without my heart on my sleeve.

So I cut it off.

And I put in a box.

A safe place.

And I hid the box.

Where no one could ever get to it.

No one but me.


and I felt nothing but the place where my heart used to be.

before sunset

you know... i believe that if there's any kind of god, he wouldn't be in any of us, not in you or me, but just this little space in between.

if there's any kind of magic in the world, it must be in the attempt of understanding someone and sharing something

i like to feel his eyes on me when i look away

because you know me... i'm the most harmless person. the only person i could hurt is myself

HERE is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of
his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming
downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could
stop bumping for a moment and think of it.

Winnie-the-Pooh sat down at the foot of the tree, put his head between his paws
and began to think.

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in track pants, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have YOU... The one who turns to his friends and says, "thats her"....

"My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return."

“You get ideas from daydreaming. You get ideas from being bored. You get ideas all the time. The only difference between writers and other people is we notice when we're doing it.”

“We all not only could know everything. We do. We just tell ourselves we don't to make it all bearable.”

Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering.

If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.

If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you.

Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.

Some people care too much, I think it's called love.

Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known.

"Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. "Pooh?" he whispered.
"Yes, Piglet?"
"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's hand. "I just wanted to be sure of you."

"We'll be Friends Forever, won't we, Pooh?' asked Piglet.
Even longer,' Pooh answered."

"How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard."

"I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart for so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time."

"I used to believe in forever, but forever's too good to be true"

"I'm not lost for I know where I am. But however, where I am may be lost."

"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called."

"What day is it?"
It's today," squeaked Piglet.
My favorite day," said Pooh."

"Friendship," said Christopher Robin, "is a very comforting thing to have."

"I do remember, and then when I try to remember, I forget."

"How do you spell 'love'?" - Piglet
"You don't spell it...you feel it." - Pooh"

"I was walking along looking for somebody, and then suddenly I wasn't anymore."

"Always remind her that she's braver than she believes, stronger than she seems, and smarter than she thinks."

And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbor:

The road to someone's heart is to talk to them about the things they treasure most.

To make a woman fall in love with you, all you have to do is to talk to her about herself!

The next time you want to persuade someone to do something, before you speak, pause and ask, "How can I make him want to do it?" Get the other man's point of view and see things from his angle as well as from his own.

“Sometimes when you think you’ve lost, you actually wind up coming out far ahead.”

“You hurt me once. Badly. I guess on some level I wanted to make you feel as rotten as I did back then.”

“Another thing about heartbreaks. You could not watch one without feeling your own heart suffer a hairline fracture as well.”

Love wasn’t supposed to be about a moment where you looked into a boy’s eyes and felt the world spin from beneath your feet; when you saw in his soul all the things that were missing from yours. Love came slow and surefooted and was made of equal measure of comfort and respect.

pentru ca pot provoca atata durere dar tot ei o iau... pentru ca barbatii sun singurul antidot bolii psihice pe care tot ei au cauzat-o .

Pentru ca imi place sa sufar stiind ca urmeaza si un pic de fericire.

If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together..
There is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe,
stronger than you seem,
And smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart…
I’ll always be with you.

schopenhauer pessimism

Again, you may look upon life as an unprofitable episode, disturbing the blessed calm of non-existence. And, in any case, even though things have gone with you tolerably well, the longer you live the more clearly you will feel that, on the whole, life is a disappointment, nay, a cheat .

If children were brought into the world by an act of pure reason alone, would the human race continue to exist? Would not a man rather have so much sympathy with the coming generation as to spare it the burden of existence? or at any rate not take it upon himself to impose that burden upon it in cold blood.

or the more we look forward to anything, the less satisfaction we find in it when it comes.

There seems to me no better explanation of our existence than that it is the result of some false step, some sin of which we are paying the penalty

Between the ethics of the Greeks and the ethics of the Hindoos, there is a glaring contrast. In the one case (with the exception, it must be confessed, of Plato), the object of ethics is to enable a man to lead a happy life; in the other, it is to free and redeem him from life altogether — as is directly stated in the very first words of the Sankhya Karika .

If you want a safe compass to guide you through life, and to banish all doubt as to the right way of looking at it, you cannot do better than accustom yourself to regard this world as a penitentiary, a sort of a penal colony, or [Greek: ergastaerion] as the earliest philosopher called it.7 Amongst the Christian Fathers, Origen, with praiseworthy courage, took this view,8 which is further justified by certain objective theories of life.

Man , he says, is so full of every kind of misery that, were it not repugnant to the Christian religion, I should venture to affirm that if evil spirits exist at all, they have posed into human form and are now atoning for their crimes . (vanini)

In fact, the conviction that the world and man is something that had better not have been, is of a kind to fill us with indulgence towards one another.

hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy

Arthur: Let's go somewhere.
Trillian: Definitely. Where'd you have in mind?
Ford: I know this great restaurant at the end of the universe.

Trillian: I want to go somewhere I've never been, and I'd like to go with you.

“A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave. A soul mate’s purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, and make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life.” ~Elizabeth Gilbert

“I stood still, vision blurring, and in that moment, I heard my heart break. It was a small, clean sound, like the snapping of a flower’s stem.” ~Diana Gabaldon

Always win. But if you must lose, make the person in front of you break the record.

Be bold in expressing what your heart holds for someone. Pay no mind to risk of rejection or emotional vulnerability. If we love or yearn to love someone, we should not put our own gratification before that person. In a cold and impersonal world, those people need to know that they are regarded with favor and love.

Fearlessly share your love as a pure gift.

The worst thing that will happen is that person will know they are loved. That’s pretty damn good.
