“Our view of man will remain superficial so long as we fail to go back to that origin [of silence], so long as we fail to find, beneath the chatter of words, the primordial silence, and as long as we do not describe the action which breaks this silence. the spoken word is a gesture, and its meaning, a world.”
― Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Phenomenology of Perception

“Life is too short to be lived badly.”
― Marjane Satrapi, Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return

“What we are reluctant to touch often seems the very fabric of our salvation.”
― Don Delillo

“When it comes to examining our relationships, and whether they are helping us to grow or keeping us stagnant, we may find ourselves suddenly terrified of the choices before us. In many cases, we begin to focus solely on the connections we have forged rather than the quality of those connections or what we may be transmitting via those connections.”
― Stephanee Killen, Buddha Breaking Up: A Guide to Healing from Heartache & Liberating Your Awesomeness
