"Its disappointing that we would much rather prefer to be judged together with our possessions and not just for our character. As if our character is not enough by its own.. as if we are not amazing, majestic, interesting beings. Now I understand why God made us naked. We are to love every bit of ourselves without added extras"
"I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble."
― Helen Keller
"There are times when it is hard to believe in the future, when we are temporarily just not brave enough. When this happens, concentrate on the present. Cultivate le petit bonheur (the little happiness) until courage returns. Look forward to the beauty of the next moment, the next hour, the promise of a good meal, sleep, a book, a movie, the likelihood that tonight the stars will shine and tomorrow the sun will shine. Sink roots into the present until the strength grows to think about tomorrow."
Ardis Whitman
"The best protest songs are not dead artifacts, pinned to a particular place and time, but living conundrums. The essential, inevitable difficulty of contorting a serious message to meet the demands of entertainment is the grit that makes the pearl"
Dorian Lynskey via Brain Pickings
"One of the most magical things about the Internet is that it’s a whimsical rabbit hole of discovery — we start somewhere familiar and click our way to a wonderland of curiosity and fascination we never knew existed"
"The oppression of any people for opinion’s sake has rarely had any other effect than to fix those opinions deeper, and render them more important"
Hosea Ballou
"If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day."
― E.B. White

"Therefore, dear Sir, love your solitude and try to sing out with the pain it causes you. For those who are near you are far away… and this shows that the space around you is beginning to grow vast…. be happy about your growth, in which of course you can’t take anyone with you, and be gentle with those who stay behind; be confident and calm in front of them and don’t torment them with your doubts and don’t frighten them with your faith or joy, which they wouldn’t be able to comprehend. Seek out some simple and true feeling of what you have in common with them, which doesn’t necessarily have to alter when you yourself change again and again; when you see them, love life in a form that is not your own and be indulgent toward those who are growing old, who are afraid of the aloneness that you trust…. and don’t expect any understanding; but believe in a love that is being stored up for you like an inheritance, and have faith that in this love there is a strength and a blessing so large that you can travel as far as you wish without having to step outside it."
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
"What love worthy of a name does not want to be unique and total, an impossible love? If someone has not wanted this, if he has not refused to compromise from the moment he fell in love , if he has not dreamed of the absolute, if he does not aspire to fulfil this dream (to be the first and only one to do so) and to achieve this fulfilment (to be the first man, the only one to do so) then he is not worthy to be called a lover"
Henri Lefebvre - ‘Critique of Everyday Life - Volume II’
