Roland Barthes
“The body which will be loved is in advance selected and manipulated by the lens, subjected to a kind of zoom effect which magnifies it, brings it closer, and leads the subject to press his nose to the glass: is it not the scintillating object which a skillful hand causes to shimmer before me and will hypnotize me, capture me? This “affective contagion,” this induction, proceeds from others, from the language, from books, from friends: no love is original. (Mass culture is a machine for showing desire: here is what must interest you, it says, as if it guessed that men are incapable of finding what to desire by themselves.)”
Roland Barthes, A Lover's Discourse: Fragments

J. Krishnamurti
“We human beings are committed to a way of life that leads to war and yet at the same time we want peace, we want freedom; but it is peace only as an idea, as an ideology; and at the same time everything we do conditions us.”
Jiddu Krishnamurti, The Flight Of The Eagle

Nataša Pantović
“Mindfulness is continuous undisturbed awareness of the present moment. Fully aware of here, and now, we pay attention to what is happening right in front of us, we set aside our mental and emotional baggage. To be mindful we have to re-train our mind.”
Natasa Pantovic Nuit, Mindful Being

W.E.B. Du Bois
“Believe in life! Always human beings will progress to greater, broader, and fuller life.”
W.E.B. Du Bois

Carlos Castaneda
“You have everything needed for the extravagant journey that is your life.”
Carlos Castaneda
