Notable Quotable 364
Spiritual progress is through the growing knowledge of the self as nothing and of the Godhead as all-embracing Reality.
(Such knowledge, of course, is worthless if it is merely theoretical; to be effective, it must be realized as an immediate, intuitive experience and appropriately acted upon.)
- Aldous Huxley
I summon to the winding ancient stair;
Set all your mind upon the steep ascent,
Upon the broken, crumbling battlement,
Upon the breathless starlit air,
Upon the star that marks the hidden pole;
Fix every wandering thought upon
That quarter where all thought is done:
Who can distinguish darkness from the soul?
- William Butler Yeats
A man who is eating or lying with his wife or preparing to go to sleep in humility, thankfulness and temperance, is, by Christian standards, in an infinitely higher state than one who is listening to Bach or reading Plato in a state of pride.
- C.S. Lewis
People should talk less and draw more. Personally, I would like to forego speech altogether and, just like organic nature, communicate everything I have to say visually.
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The task must be made difficult, for only the difficult inspires the noble-hearted.
- Søren Kierkegaard
Love seeketh not itself to please, nor for itself hath any care, but for another gives it's ease, and builds a Heaven in Hell's despair.
- William Blake
Pray, hope, and don't worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer.
- St. Padre Pio
The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.
- Mark Twain
Wherever something is wrong, something is too big. If the stars in the sky or the atoms of uranium disintegrate in spontaneous explosion, it is not because their substance has lost its balance. It is because matter has attempted to expand beyond the impassable barriers set to every accumulation. Their mass has become too big. If the human body becomes diseased, it is, as in cancer, because a cell, or a group of cells, has begun to outgrow its allotted narrow limits. And if the body of a people becomes diseased with the fever of aggression, brutality, collectivism, or massive idiocy, it is not because it has fallen victim to bad leadership or mental derangement. It is because human beings, so charming as individuals or in small aggregations, have been welded into overconcentrated social units such as mobs, unions, cartels, or great powers.
- Leopold Kohr
EAGERNESS
Eagerness
to fly and hit the wall
break the bricks
create a window to look
through
and see the world
that’s me
there is something in my brain
that makes me stare
and investigate
the reality
as a dream to wake up from
eagerness
to create a house
full of unwritten stories
and suns to rise
every hour of the day
there is a dull pain
inside my heart
full of fear
that there will never be
enough time
to smile
eagerness to love
and live
in a world
where everything is possible
and my wish isn’t a wish
but a plan
- Ursula Babic
