  • #1
    Criss Jami
    “If a man cannot understand the beauty of life, it is probably because life never understood the beauty in him.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #2
    Criss Jami
    “Persistence. Perfection. Patience. Power. Prioritize your passion. It keeps you sane.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #3
    Criss Jami
    “If you build the guts to do something, anything, then you better save enough to face the consequences.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #4
    Criss Jami
    “As long as I am breathing, in my eyes, I am just beginning.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #5
    Criss Jami
    “When you're socially awkward, you're isolated more than usual, and when you're isolated more than usual, your creativity is less compromised by what has already been said and done. All your hope in life starts to depend on your craft, so you try to perfect it. One reason I stay isolated more than the average person is to keep my creativity as fierce as possible. Being the odd one out may have its temporary disadvantages, but more importantly, it has its permanent advantages.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #6
    Criss Jami
    “A lonely day is God's way of saying that he wants to spend some quality time with you.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #7
    Criss Jami
    “When good people consider you the bad guy, you develop a heart to help the bad ones. You actually understand them.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #8
    Criss Jami
    “Popular culture is a place where pity is called compassion, flattery is called love, propaganda is called knowledge, tension is called peace, gossip is called news, and auto-tune is called singing.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #9
    Criss Jami
    “It often occurs that pride and selfishness are muddled with strength and independence. They are neither equal nor similar; in fact, they are polar opposites. A coward may be so cowardly that he masks his weakness with some false personification of power. He is afraid to love and to be loved because love tends to strip bare all emotional barricades. Without love, strength and independence are prone to losing every bit of their worth; they become nothing more than a fearful, intimidated, empty tent lost somewhere in the desert of self.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #10
    Criss Jami
    “Good works is giving to the poor and the helpless, but divine works is showing them their worth to the One who matters.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #11
    Criss Jami
    “A poet should be so crafty with words that he is envied even for his pains.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #12
    Criss Jami
    “Every job from the heart is, ultimately, of equal value. The nurse injects the syringe; the writer slides the pen; the farmer plows the dirt; the comedian draws the laughter. Monetary income is the perfect deceiver of a man's true worth.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #13
    Criss Jami
    “It's not at all hard to understand a person; it's only hard to listen without bias.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #14
    Criss Jami
    “When I look at a person, I see a person - not a rank, not a class, not a title.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #15
    Criss Jami
    “I imagine that the intelligent people are the ones so intelligent that they don't even need or want to look 'intelligent' anymore.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #16
    Criss Jami
    “Creative people are often found either disagreeable or intimidating by mediocrities.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #17
    Criss Jami
    “It's not about going around trying to stir up trouble. As long as you're honest and you articulate what you believe to be true, somebody somewhere will become your enemy whether you like it or not.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #18
    Criss Jami
    “You are evidence of your mother's strength, especially if you are a rebellious knucklehead and regardless she has always maintained her sanity.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #19
    Criss Jami
    “The older you get, the more you understand how your conscience works. The biggest and only critic lives in your perception of people's perception of you rather than people's perception of you.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #20
    Criss Jami
    “I don't pretend to know everything; I just only speak on matters I know I'll win.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #21
    Criss Jami
    “I'm convinced that most men don't know what they believe, rather, they only know what they wish to believe. How many people blame God for man's atrocities, but wouldn't dream of imprisoning a mother for her son's crime?”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #22
    Criss Jami
    “It has always seemed that a fear of judgment is the mark of guilt and the burden of insecurity.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #23
    Criss Jami
    “Create with the heart; build with the mind.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #24
    Criss Jami
    “To me it seems that too many young women of this time share the same creed. 'Live, laugh, love, be nothing but happy, experience everything, et cetera et cetera.' How monotonous, how useless this becomes. What about the honors of Joan of Arc, Beauvoir, Stowe, Xena, Princess Leia, or women that would truly fight for something other than just their own emotions?”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #25
    Criss Jami
    “What man ever openly apologizes for slander? It is not so much a feeling of slander as it is that of a massive lie, a misdeed not only to the slandered but also to those manipulated in the process. He has made them all, every one, his enemies, thereupon he is so overwhelmed with guilt that he will deny it until his grave.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #26
    Criss Jami
    “When you have wit of your own, it's a pleasure to credit other people for theirs.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #27
    Criss Jami
    “Companionship is a foreign concept to some people. They fear it as much as the majority of people fear loneliness.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #28
    Criss Jami
    “I often find that people confuse inner peace with some sense of insensibility whenever something goes wrong. In such cases inner peace is a permit for destruction: The unyielding optimist will pretend that the forest is not burning either because he is too lazy or too afraid to go and put the fire out.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #29
    Criss Jami
    “It is not true that everyone is special. It is true that everyone was once special and still possesses the ability to recover it.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #30
    Criss Jami
    “To be truly positive in the eyes of some, you have to risk appearing negative in the eyes of others.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy
