“...happiness is your innermost nature. It needs no outside condition: it is simply there; it is you. Bliss is your natural state; it is not an achievement. If you simply get out of the mechanism of the mind, you start feeling blissful.”
― Osho, Fame, Fortune, and Ambition: What Is the Real Meaning of Success?

“Death is a strange thing. People live their whole lives as if it does not exist, and yet it’s often one of the great motivations for living.”
― Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove

“Somewhere inside me a tornado swoops down, lifting a matchstick house into an exploding sky. Shards fall like rain, piercing my skin, thorning the ground. In dreams begin follies, says a voice like a forgotten poem. I walk carefully through the thorns, one foot in front of the other not looking back. Behind me the car door sighs shut.”
