“A word is a great thing. Great because with a word people can be united, with a word they can also be divided; with a word one can serve love, and with a word one can serve enmity and hatred.”
Leo Tolstoy
"There is so little space in your mind; it is so crammed with words, memories, knowledge, experience, and problems. There is hardly any space left in it, except perhaps for the endless chatter of thought.
Everything needs space in order to live, play, and sing. That which is sacred cannot manifest love without space. You have no space when you hold on to something, feel sorrow, or become the center of the universe. The space you occupy is the space that thought has created around you, and it consists of suffering and confusion. The space measured by thought is the division between you and me, us and them. This division carries endless pain.
A solitary tree stands in a wide green expanse."
"One cannot speak of any great achievements and successes as long as unhappy children exist on Earth." — Albert Einstein
"Humanity will not remain on Earth forever; first, timidly, it will venture beyond the atmosphere into the world of light and space, and then it will conquer all the space around the Sun for itself." — K. E. Tsiolkovsky
"The mind gives us light; it is our inner eye, but it is cold. Kindness is warm, but blind. So we should establish a balance in the development of the mind and kindness—that is what it is all about. Otherwise, the mind without kindness turns into malice, and kindness without the mind turns into foolishness."
Pavel Serbsky
"Life is perfect only when mind and body exist in harmony, balance, and mutual respect." David Herbert Lawrence
"We tend to live without noticing life, spending it as if in a dream. If we do not learn to value every moment and find balance while maintaining equilibrium, we risk living it without ever managing to wake up." Alexey Khristinin, "On the Path to Change: How to Rewrite the Script of Your Life."
"If we manage to achieve victory within ourselves, then everything external will fall into place on its own. But if there is confusion and anxiety in our soul, then even if we have a pleasant and comfortable life, we will not be able to enjoy what we have."
Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
"Do not add years to your life; add life to your years."
Sri Ram Chandra
“Nothing reveals a person as much as what they laugh at.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“If a person has died, you can’t stop loving them, damn it. Especially if they were better than everyone alive, you understand?” Jerome David Salinger, “The Catcher in the Rye”
“And let that day be lost to us on which we did not dance at least once! And let every idea that was not accompanied by laughter be called false by us!”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Of all the weapons in the human race’s arsenal, the most effective was laughter; nothing can withstand the force of laughter.”
Mark Twain
"He spoke of his grand and elusive dreams and plans, shimmering with fragile beauty. She, by contrast, listened attentively, immersed in his words. She felt like an invisible yet important support in his world. His gestures grew expressive; his hands traced invisible shapes in the air, illustrating his ambitions to change the world and leave a mark on history. His voice shifted in intonation from ecstatic heights to an intimate whisper. She listened, absorbing every word and every breath, seeing in them an entire world of passions, hopes, and energy. Her silence was filled with the power of presence and understanding; she found beauty in his words, hearing not only what was said but also what was left unsaid."
S. Kuryayeva, “The Breath of Thought”
“I don’t teach anyone anything; I simply hold a lantern, and you walk toward the LIGHT.” Jiddu Krishnamurti
“If you do something beautiful and sublime and no one notices it, don’t be upset. Sunrise is the most beautiful sight in the world, yet most people are asleep at that time.” John Lennon
"...the only thing that matters is how much light you radiate along your journey through life."
Stephen King, The Death of Jack Hamilton
“Don’t complain about the darkness. Become a small source of light yourself."
Bernard Werber, The Secret of the Gods
"In a person, I love the light. The thickness of the candle doesn’t concern me. The flame will tell me whether the candle is good."
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Citadel
“A free-born person should not study any subject slavishly. Indeed, if the body is forced to endure hardships, it is not made worse by this, but knowledge forcibly implanted in the soul is unreliable.”
"The path of the mind is the path of doubts and hesitations. Whoever has managed to rise to the level of their soul becomes clearly aware of themselves and sees who they truly are. And all the false ideas that held them in this world disperse like a dream. When the illusions are gone, the soul develops a desire to begin a new life. And the doors to a higher sphere of existence open before it." Srila Bhakti Rakshak Sridhar Maharaj, "The Subjective Evolution of Consciousness."
"Life in this world is a dream of oblivion that separates a person from true reality. Like someone who, after seeing a fleeting dream, forgets the hometown where they lived for years, the soul gives itself over to the illusion and dream of this world and forgets its true homeland; it does not understand that this destructive world obscures its vision the way a cloud covers the stars."
Jalaluddin Rumi
"Viewing life as a dream among thousands of dreams, and each dream as a kind of approach to reality. You will be able to penetrate it by possessing a magic key." Carl Gustav Jung
"Why does a person not confess their vices? Because they are still immersed in them. It is the same as asking a sleeping person to tell you their dream." Seneca
