    Hafiz

    Rumi

  • #7
    Kahlil Gibran
    “Hearts united in pain and sorrow
    will not be separated by joy and happiness.
    Bonds that are woven in sadness
    are stronger than the ties of joy and pleasure.
    Love that is washed by tears
    will remain eternally pure and faithful.”
    Khalil Gibran, Love Letters in the Sand: The Love Poems of Khalil Gibran

    Kahlil Gibran

    Khalil Gibran

    Paulo Coelho, Brida

  • #12
    Eckhart Tolle
    “Give up defining yourself - to yourself or to others. You won't die. You will come to life. And don't be concerned with how others define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it's their problem. Whenever you interact with people, don't be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious Presence. You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.”
    Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose

    Brené Brown
    “We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness and affection.

    Love is not something we give or get; it is something that we nurture and grow, a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each one of them – we can only love others as much as we love ourselves.

    Shame, blame, disrespect, betrayal, and the withholding of affection damage the roots from which love grows. Love can only survive these injuries if they are acknowledged, healed and rare.”
    Brené Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection

  • #14
    Elizabeth Gilbert
    “People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything you're holding back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake.”
    Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

    Coco Chanel
    “It’s probably not just by chance that I’m alone. It would be very hard for a man to live with me, unless he’s terribly strong. And if he’s stronger than I, I’m the one who can’t live with him. … I’m neither smart nor stupid, but I don’t think I’m a run-of-the-mill person. I’ve been in business without being a businesswoman, I’ve loved without being a woman made only for love. The two men I’ve loved, I think, will remember me, on earth or in heaven, because men always remember a woman who caused them concern and uneasiness. I’ve done my best, in regard to people and to life, without precepts, but with a taste for justice.”
    Coco Chanel

    Melody Beattie
    “I used to spend so much time reacting and responding to everyone else that my life had no direction. Other people's lives, problems, and wants set the course for my life. Once I realized it was okay for me to think about and identify what I wanted, remarkable things began to take place in my life.”
    Melody Beattie, The Language of Letting Go: Daily Meditations on Codependency

    Joseph Campbell

  • #20
    Joseph Campbell
    “We're so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what it is all about.”
    Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth

    Joseph Campbell
    “The way to find out about happiness is to keep your mind on those moments when you feel most happy, when you are really happy — not excited, not just thrilled, but deeply happy. This requires a little bit of self-analysis. What is it that makes you happy? Stay with it, no matter what people tell you. This is what is called following your bliss.”
    Joseph Campbell

  • #22
    Joseph Campbell
    “Following your bliss is not self-indulgent, but vital; your whole physical system knows that this is the way to be alive in this world and the way to give to the world the very best that you have to offer. There IS a track just waiting for each of us and once on it, doors will open that were not open before and would not open for anyone else.”
    Joseph Campbell

    A.A. Milne
    “Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.”
    A. A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

    Joseph Campbell
    “The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.”
    Joseph Campbell

  • #25
    Joseph Campbell
    “People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances with our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.”
    Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth

  • #26
    Joseph Campbell
    “God is the experience of looking at a tree and saying, 'Ah!”
    Joseph Campbell

  • #27
    Joseph Campbell
    “How to get rid of ego as dictator and turn it into messenger and servant and scout, to be in your service, is the trick.”
    Joseph Campbell

  • #28
    Joseph Campbell
    “How does the ordinary person come to the transcendent? For a start, I would say, study poetry. Learn how to read a poem. You need not have the experience to get the message, or at least some indication of the message. It may come gradually. (92)”
    Joseph Campbell, Thou Art That: Transforming Religious Metaphor

  • #29
    Joseph Campbell
    “The demon that you can swallow gives you its power, and the greater life’s pain, the greater life’s reply.”
    Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth
