“Remember that your dominating thoughts attract,
through a definite law of nature, by the shortest and most
convenient route, their physical counterpart. Be careful what
your thoughts dwell upon.”
― Napoleon Hill, Outwitting the Devil: The Secret to Freedom and Success

“To be alive: not just the carcass /
But the spark.
That's crudely put, but...
If we're not supposed to dance,
Why all this music?”
― Gregory Orr

“All suffering originates from craving, from attachment, from desire.”

“We tend to associate intimacy with closeness and closeness with a certain sum of shared experiences. Yet in reality total strangers, who will never say a single word to each other, can share an intimacy -- an intimacy contained in the exchange of a glance, a nod of the head, a smile, a shrug of a shoulder. A closeness that lasts for minutes or for the duration of a song that is being listened to together. An agreement about life. An agreement without clauses. A conclusion spontaneously shared between the untold stories gathered around the song.”
― John Berger
