I don’t necessarily agree with everything I say.
~ Marchall McLuhan

An autumn evening;
It is no light thing
To be born a man.
~ Issa

Who is content with nothing possesses all things
~ Nicolas Boileau Despréaux

Eternity is not something that begins after you are dead. It is going on all the time. We are in it now.
~ Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Try as much as possible to be wholly alive, with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell and when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.
~ WIlliam Saroyan

Apply yourselves, day after day, year after year, to the study of the “unthinkable.”
~ Soen Nakagawa

Indeed he knows not how to know who knows not also how to un-know.
~ Sir Richard Francis Burton

Well-being means to be fully born, to become what one potentially is; it means to have the full capacity for joy and sadness or, to put it still differently, to awake from the half-slumber the average man lives in and to be fully awake.
~ Erich Fromm

The secret of the mountains is that the mountains simply exist, as I do myself: the mountains exist simply, which I do not. The mountains have no “meaning,” they are meaning; the mountains are. The sun is round. I ring with life, and the mountains ring, and when I can hear it, there is a ringing that we share. I understand all this, not in my mind but in my heart, knowing how meaningless it is to try to capture what cannot be expressed, knowing that mere words will remain when I read it all again, another day.
