The whole of this unfortunate business has been the result of pride & prejudice.

Frances Burney

Freedom begins when words end.

Shambhu Heart

The only journey is the one within.

Rainer Maria Rilke

A really great person is the person who makes every person feel great.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

Emotion always begin in the mind; feelings come from the solar plexus, your heart or your soul, and never the mind. When you base your story, your life, and your relationships on emotions, they are a distraction from what is real; they create stress.

Lynn V. Andrews

Within joy and ecstasy is a oneness with all life, so, of course, it elevates your consciousness.

The principles of true art is not to portray but to evoke.

Jerzy Kosinski

What a man overcomes is a measure of his quality.

Saul Bellow

Words are the great foes of reality.

Joseph Conrad

A photograph is a secret about a secret.

Diane Arbus

Luminous and energetic centers of distant galaxies are known as quasars. The most ominous thing in the universe is cosmic microwave background radiation. Divine love is the cellular structure of our cell body.

Sonja Grace

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

Isaac Azimov

When the heart truly understands, it lets go of everything.

Ajahn Chah

Something hidden. Go find it. Hold back on certain information which is finally revealed at the end. If you have a thesis, it is better for the reader to discover it himself.

Rudyard Kipling

When you speak from the heart, you impact the world. When your actions are filled with love from the heart, you inspire others to do the same.

Anna Pereira

Live a life full of humility, gratitude, intellectual curiosity, and never stop learning.

Life is the sum of all your choices.

Albert Camus

When everything is going well and there is no fear, the mind lags behind. When things go wrong, the mind simply jumps ahead of you; it becomes the leader. In times of danger it becomes the leader. The mind is just like a politician. Adolf Hitler has written in his autobiography, Mein Kampt, that you always keep the country in fear if you want to remain in leadership. Keep the country always afraid that the neighbor is going to attack, that there are countries that are designing an attack, they are preparing to attack... go on creating rumors. Never leave people at ease, because when they are at ease they don't bother about politicians. When people are really at ease, politicians are meaningless. Keep people always afraid, then the politician is powerful. Whenever there is war the politician becomes the great man. Churchill or Hitler or Stalin or Mao — they are all products of war. If there was no Second World War, there would be no Winston Churchill and no Hitler or Stalin. War creates situations, gives opportunities for people to dominate and become leaders. Exactly the same is the politics of the mind.
