    “The most favourite food of goats is a plant which has thorns all over it. But they munch on it so softly and artfully that thorns just add to the taste just as heat adds to the taste of coffee. That is the only way to win over duality: Drink life sip by sip, one moment at a time.”

    “Maybe there exists an inherent contradiction in our desires. Maybe this is the reason why we never feel contentment even after the fulfilment of our desires. Maybe we desire actually of a ‘continuous desire’ or persistence of a desire and not its ‘fulfilment’ as such.”

    “I am a sleeper, a spy, a man of two faces. Perhaps not surprisingly, I am also a man of two minds. I am not a misunderstood mutant from a comic book or a horror movie, though some have treated me as such. I am simply able to see any issue from both sides.”

    Margaret Atwood
    “Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.”

    “Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.”

    “COMING FORTH INTO THE LIGHT

    I was born the day
    I thought:
    What is?
    What was?
    And
    What if?

    I was transformed the day
    My ego shattered,
    And all the superficial, material
    Things that mattered
    To me before,
    Suddenly ceased
    To matter.

    I really came into being
    The day I no longer cared about
    What the world thought of me,
    Only on my thoughts for
    Changing the world.”

    “Not a bad thing to know something about darkness. You can’t talk about light without some knowledge of darkness. Like your buddy Nietzsche said, 'He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.' Keep that in mind.”
