“The gods throw the dice, freeing love from its cage. And love can create or destroy — depending on the direction of the wind when it is set free.”
By The River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept • Paulo Coelho““Slower, he walked along in his thoughts and asked himself: “But what is this, what you have sought to learn from teachings and from teachers, and what they, who have taught you much, were still unable to teach you?” And he found: “It was the self, the purpose and essence of which I sought to learn. It was the self, I wanted to free myself from, which I sought to overcome. But I was not able to overcome it, could only deceive it, could only flee from it, only hide from it. Truly, no thing in this world has kept my thoughts thus busy, as this my very own self, this mystery of me being alive, of me being one and being separated and isolated from all others, of me being Siddhartha! And there is no thing in this world I know less about than about me, about Siddhartha!”″”
Siddhartha • Hermann Hesse“No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity.”
Atomic Habits • James Clear“...why did we wait for any thing? — why not seize the pleasure at once? — How often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparation!”
Emma • Jane Austen““Any one who has common sense will remember that the bewilderments of the eyes are of two kinds, and arise from two causes, either from coming out of the light or from going into the light, which is true of the mind’s eye, quite as much as of the bodily eye.””
Republic • Plato
