Henry David Thoreau
“I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual. It is surprising how contented one can be with nothing definite - only a sense of existence. Well, anything for variety. I am ready to try this for the next ten thousand years, and exhaust it. How sweet to think of! my extremities well charred, and my intellectual part too, so that there is no danger of worm or rot for a long while. My breath is sweet to me. O how I laugh when I think of my vague indefinite riches. No run on my bank can drain it, for my wealth is not possession but enjoyment.”
Henry David Thoreau

Erik Pevernagie

“Those who wish to sing always find a song.”

Annie Dillard
“I have often noticed that these things, which obsess me, neither bother nor impress other people even slightly. I am horribly apt to approach some innocent at a gathering, and like the ancient mariner, fix him with a wild, glitt’ring eye and say, “Do you know that in the head of the caterpillar of the ordinary goat moth there are two hundred twenty-eight separate muscles?” The poor wretch flees. I am not making chatter; I mean to change his life.”
Annie Dillard, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek

Anamika Mishra
“And that's the thing about joy, it multiplies from smile to smile”

Giannis Delimitsos
“Never be disappointed and never lose your hope and fortitude when all that you see around is only shadows. Because if there are shadows, there must also be sources of light nearby. Find them, take them with you to illuminate your trail and make shadows disappear!”
Giannis Delimitsos

Giannis Delimitsos
“The majority of philosophies and of various spiritual movements teach that the highest achievement is to know thyself. Of course, there is nothing bad about the attempt to know ourselves better; a noble endeavor… But, if this is the prevailing dogma, then I must admit that I am a dissident. After all, you’ll never find your true self no matter how hard you try, no matter how close you’ll come to that. For me, the greatest of achievements is to be a good human, a gentle soul. And it is not as easy as it seems. Goodness, joyfulness, compassion are what we need in this world; no more unworkable knowledge without wisdom, no more holy grails!”
Giannis Delimitsos

Bethany Kohler
“To wake from slumber with a consciousness of well-being is to welcome joy that is knocking at your door. To be possessed of hope is to summon joy that never knocked, and is perhaps the deeper joy for not being dependent on any feeling or circumstance.”
Bethany Kohler, Trompe l'Oeil: Beauty and the Beast Retold

Nitin Namdeo
“Everything in this universe is meant to make you feel blissful.”
nitin namdeo
