Dan Millman
“If you don't get what you want, you suffer; if you get what you don't want, you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can't hold on to it forever.”
Dan Millman, Way of the Peaceful Warrior: A Book That Changes Lives

George Eliot
“What destroys us most effectively is not a malign fate but our own capacity for self-deception and for degrading our own best self.”
George Eliot

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Woman is the light of God.”
Rumi

Tomas Tranströmer
“I am carried in my shadow
like a violin
in its black case”
Tomas Tranströmer, For the Living and the Dead

Kahlil Gibran
“Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.”
Khalil Gibran, The Prophet
