Flame

Posted by PJ under fire, gratitude, inspiration, quote of the day

Random quote of the day:

“In everyone’s life at some time the inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.”

Objects

Posted by PJ under quote of the day, spirit, things
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Man’s spirit is not concerned with objects; that is the business of our analytical faculties. Man’s spirit is concerned with the significance that relates objects to one another. With their totality, which only the piercing eye of the spirit can perceive. The spirit, meanwhile, alternates between total vision and absolute blindness.”

—Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Flight to Arras (tr. Lewis Galantière)

Ring

Posted by PJ under control, marriage, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“As soon as you say ‘I do,’ you will discover that marriage is like a car. Yeah, both of you might be sitting in the front seat, but only one of you is driving. Most marriages are more like a motorcycle than a car. Somebody has to sit in the back, and you have to yell to be heard.”

—Wanda Sykes, Yeah, I Said It

Marriage

Posted by PJ under love, marriage, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Love one another, but make not a bond
of love:
     Let it rather be a moving sea between
     the shores of your souls.
     Fill each other’s cup but drink not from
     one cup.
     Give one another of your bread but eat
     not from the same loaf.
     Sing and dance together and be joyous,
     but let each one of you be alone,
     Even as the strings of a lute are alone
     though they quiver with the same music.

—Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

Ourselves

Posted by PJ under becoming, destiny, quote of the day, solitude, the deep within
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“There is no insurmountable solitude. All paths lead to the same goal: to convey to others what we are. And we must pass through solitude and difficulty, isolation and silence in order to reach forth to the enchanted place where we can dance our clumsy dance and sing our sorrowful song—but in this dance or in this song there are fulfilled the most ancient rites of our conscience in the awareness of being human and of believing in a common destiny.”

—Pablo Neruda, Nobel Prize acceptance speech, December 13, 1971
