I Now Know Only Too Well That There Is Nothing In The World More Hateful To A Person Than Walking The

People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they’re not on your road doesn’t mean they’ve gotten lost

Dalai Lama

And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.

Khalil Gibran

There must be something strangely sacred in salt. It is in our tears and in the sea.

Khalil Gibran, Sand and Foam (via thequotejournals)

All endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time.

Mitch Albom, Tuesdays with Morrie

Let me say no more. Words do no justice to the hidden meaning. Everything immediately becomes slightly different when it is expressed in words, a little bit distorted, a little foolish...It is perfectly fine with me that what for one man is precious wisdom for another sounds like foolery.

Siddhartha, Herman Hesse

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

Nekson Mandela

I shall no longer be instructed by the Yoga Veda or the Aharva Veda, or the ascetics, or any other doctrine whatsoever. I shall learn from myself, be a pupil of myself; I shall get to know myself, the mystery of Siddhartha." He looked around as if he were seeing the world for the first time.

Siddhartha by Herman Hesse.

She says nothing at all, but simply stares upward into the dark sky and watches, with sad eyes, the slow dance of the infinite stars.

Neil Gaiman

Beautiful Seagull, free as a cloud. Reminding me of one of the books that have challenged my thinking and the way I looked at life: Jonathan Livingston Seagull. Jonathan Seagull's very goal was to achieve perfection in his flight and thereby freedom. Unlike the rest of the gulls who were more concerned about eating, who never done anything in their lives other than moving from shore to food and back again. Most gulls don't bother to learn more than the simplest facts of flight, as long as they can fly to get to their food. But for Jonathan Seagull, it was not eating that mattered but flight, flying beyond the horizons. He believes that there's got to be more to this life than just fighting for fish heads. His parents warned him about his obsession, "learning to fly higher won't bring food to the table" they said. "I don't mind being bones and feathers, I just want to know what I can or cannot do in the air and that's it, I just want to know" he told them. He lived as an outcast but eventually attained his goal - perfection in flight. This was after he knew about love, for there are no more limits to flight when one has achieved love. Little did his parents and friends understand that: The gull that flies the highest sees the farthest

Never is a man wholly a saint or a sinner.

Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha
