“It is ironic that the moment you can accept yourself as you are, you can easily change yourself and become different. So long as you dislike yourself it is difficult to change, for it is self-acceptance at the deepest level which frees us to move on”
― John Kehoe, Mind Power into the 21st Century: Techniques to Harness the Astounding Powers of Thought

“You'll love again, but you must teach your heart some self-restraint; for each and every man won't understand it as I have... learn from my belief that inexperience leads to grief.”
― Pushkin Aleksandr Sergeevich, Евгений Онегин

“Whom then to credit? Whom to treasure?
On whom alone can we depend?
Who is there who will truly measure his acts and words to suit our end?
Who'll sow no calumnies around us?
Whose fond attentions will astound us?
Who'll never fault our vices, or whom shall we never find a bore?
Don't let a ghost be your bear-leader. don't waste your efforts on the air.
Just let yourself be your whole care, your loved one, honourable reader!
Deserving object: there can be nothing more lovable than he.”
― Pushkin Aleksandr Sergeevich, Евгений Онегин
