“All my life I’ve pursued the perfect red. I can never get painters to mix it for me.
It’s exactly as if I’d said, “I want Rococo with a spot of Gothic in it and
a bit of Buddhist temple” – they have no idea what I’m talking about.
About the best red is to copy the color of a child’s cap in any Renaissance
portrait.”
― Diana Vreeland

“COMING FORTH INTO THE LIGHT

I was born the day
I thought:
What is?
What was?
And
What if?

I was transformed the day
My ego shattered,
And all the superficial, material
Things that mattered
To me before,
Suddenly ceased
To matter.

I really came into being
The day I no longer cared about
What the world thought of me,
Only on my thoughts for
Changing the world.”

“Evolution is constant. Evolving better is individual’s conscience.”
― Pradeepa Pandiyan

“Our evolution depends on our memory. If we keep forgetting the mistakes of the past, only to keep repeating them, then we will never change. And if we keep recycling through the exact same kind of leaders— the kind who do not propel us forward, but only hold us back—then perhaps what we really need now is a completely different style of leadership altogether. We need heart-driven leaders, not strictly mind-driven ones. We need compassionate humanitarians, not greedy businessmen. Peacemakers, not war instigators. We need unity, not division. Angels, not devils.”
