Be positive. Stay happy and don't let the negativity of the world get you down.

Books and drafts mean something quite different for different thinkers. One collects in a book the lights he was able to steal and carry home swiftly out of the rays of some insight that suddenly dawned on him, while another thinker offers us nothing but shadows - images in black and gray of what had built up in his soul the day before.

— Friedrich Nietzsche

Books, which we mistake for consolation, only add depth to our sorrow.

Both science and spirituality tell us today that meditation and mindfulness strengthen mental control. The more we feel conscious of, and in control of our thoughts and our emotions, the more empowered we become to take effective action that is most suitable for our health and our life.

— Evita Ochel

Break the glass, please, and free us from all these damned rules, from needing to find an explanation for everything, from doing only what others approve of.

But before I can live with other folks I've got to live with myself.

...but I’d learned a long time ago that the worst things are, the more people lie about them.

But the Seeker, who is of unsure gait, also has unsure traits. The way that he moves is unstable and ungainly. It is also unnatural. No other life form adopted this precarious locomotion method of walking on two legs. Intrinsically off balance at all times, it takes just a small stone or a banana peel to topple him over. It is a mysterious wobbly motion much like that of a bicycle. How easy it is, to throw a cyclist off balance, need not be elaborated. But try throwing a truck off balance? Unsettling the Seeker’s balance is also equally easy. But try throwing a horse or a tiger off balance? Even a child knows that four wheels or, at least, three wheels are more stable than two wheels.

— Biju Vasudevan

By gazing inward the true reflection of the self is revealed.

Calm is the best revenge
