Happiness is a journey, not a destination

Happiness is a journey, not a destination. For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin—real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one. Alfred D. Souza

Without love, without anger, without sorrow, breath is just a clock ticking

Preston: What's the point of your existence?
Mary: To feel.
Cause you've never done it, you can never know it. But it's as vital as breath. And without it—without love, without anger, without sorrow—breath is just a clock ticking.
Equilibrium (film)

One should never direct people towards happiness, because happiness too is an idol of the market-place (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn)

One should never direct people towards happiness, because happiness too is an idol of the market-place. One should direct them towards mutual affection. A beast gnawing at its prey can be happy too, but only human beings can feel affection for each other, and this is the highest achievement they can aspire to.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Beauty without the beloved is like a sword through the heart

Unless you are a healthy, growing individual

Unless you are a healthy, growing individual – unless, as it were, you love yourself – you can't love others.
Sangharakshita, Peace is a fire

Love has only a beginning; It has no end.

Love has only a beginning; It has no end.

It's better to lose your pride to someone you love

It's better to lose your pride to someone you love,
than to lose your love because of your pride.
Be a friend of thousands, be a lover of one.
Never let go of the one who truly loves you

Only love and death will change all things

My house says to me, "Do not leave me, for here dwells your past."
And the road says to me, "Come and follow me, for I am your future."
And I say to both my house and the road, "I have no past, nor have I a future. If I stay here, there is a going in my staying; and if I go there is a staying in my going. Only love and death will change all things."
Khalil Gibran - Sand and Foam

Un seul être vous manque et tout est dépeuplé
