“If you have the ability to love, love yourself first.”
― Charles Bukowski

“an honest being who does not behave absurdly has no
chance at all of becoming famous, or even of being noticed, however kind
and sensible he may be.”
― G.I. Gurdjieff, Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson

“You came and you will be gone. You don’t even have to do something for it, it happens by itself. You came by itself and you will be gone by itself. So, what do you worry about?”
― Karl Renz, Worry And Be Happy: The Audacity Of Hopelessness

“I don't feel at home where I am,
or where I spend time; only where,
beyond counting, there's freedom and calm,
that is, waves, that is, space where, when there,
you consist of pure freedom, which, seen,
turns that Gorgon, the crowd, to stone,
to pebbles and sand . . . where life's mean-
ing lies buried, that never let one
come within cannon shot yet.
From cloud-covered wells untold
pour color and light, a fete
of cupids and Ledas in gold.
That is, silk and honey and sheen.
That is, boon and quiver and call.
That is, all that lives to be free,
needing no words at all.”
― Regina Derieva
