Life story

Posted by PJ under novels, quote of the day, what the living do, writing
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“At first sight a man’s life is more interesting than his works. It constitutes an obstinate, taut whole. Unit of mind dominates. There is a single inspiration through all those years. He is the novel. To be rewritten, obviously.”

—Albert Camus, The Notebooks, 1942-1951 (tr. Justin O’Brien)

The inner outer

Posted by PJ under conscious and subconscious, quote of the day, the self

Random quote of the day:

“I early arrived at the insight that when no answer comes from within to the problems and complexities of life, they ultimately mean very little. Outward circumstances are no substitute for inner experience.”

Live!

Posted by PJ under grief, quote of the day, what the living do
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“People in mourning have to come to grips with death before they can live again. Mourning can go on for years and years. It doesn’t end after a year: that’s a false fantasy. It usually ends when people realize that they can live again, that they can concentrate their energies on their lives as a whole, and not on their hurt, and guilt, and pain.”

—Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, On Death and Dying

The first return

Posted by PJ under acceptance, home, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Sometimes a man hits upon a place to which he mysteriously feels that he belongs. Here is the home he sought, and he will settle amid scenes that he has never seen before, among men he has never known, as though they were familiar to him from his birth. Here at last he finds rest.”

—W. Somerset Maugham, The Moon and Sixpence
