Winter doesn't last
forever.
Truman Capote
Life is an unfoldment,
and the further we travel the more truth we can comprehend. To
understand the things that are at our door is the best preparation for
understanding those that lie beyond.
Hypatia
I suppose it is much more
comfortable to be mad and not know it
than to be sane and have one's doubts.
G. B. Burgin
I lived in terror.
I had fear of sleeping. I had fear of myself. Later I was able to think:
'Okay, Marthita, Do you want to live or do you want to die? Which do you
want?' And so it was. For now, I am well. I only have to be very
careful with stress, from all points of view. Emotional and
psychological. What happens is that I do too much. The last two years I
have been like a crazy person. Furthermore, I had a great deal of
emotional stress, above all with my sentimental life, which is a
disaster. In that sense I am doing very badly. My sentimental life is a
desert. What happens is that, in general, I don't feel settled in any
respect. It's as if I were always constructing myself. But I think that
that is life: until we die, we are always constructing ourselves.
Martha Argerich
Come on, guys! It seems
that if we don't jurry up and change the
world, the world will change us!
Mafalda
Too much sanity may be
madness. And maddest of all, to see life as
it is and not as it should be!
Miguel de Cervantes
Show me a sane man and I will cure him for you.
Carl Gustav Jung
A smile is the light in
your window that tells others that there is a caring, sharing person
inside."
Denis Waitley
Every neurosis is a
primitive form of legal proceeding in which the accused carries on the
prosecution, imposes judgment and executes the sentence: all to the end
that someone else should not perform the same process.
Lionel Trilling
Without poets, without artists, men would soon weary of nature's
monotony. The sublime idea men have of the universe would collapse with
dizzying speed. The order which we find in nature, and which is only an
effect of art, would at once vanish. Everything would break up in chaos.
There would be no seasons, no civilization, no thought, no humanity;
even life would give way, and the impotent void would reign everywhere.
Guillaume Apollinaire
To see a world in a grain
of sand
And heaven in a wild flower
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.
William Blake
The failure does not exist, in each failure, we changed of way.
To arrive at which you are, you must go by where you are not.
To get to be what one is, is the greatest happiness.
Alejandro Jodorowshy
The greatest discovery of
my generation is that a human being can
alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind.
William James
Whenever I hear, 'It can't be done,' I know I'm close to success.
Michael Flatley
Words are the
physicians of the mind diseased.
Aeschylus
