Be thankful that there are plates to be washed; that means there was food, that you fed someone, that you're lavished care on one or more people, that you cooked and laid the table. ... There are women who say: "I'm not going to do the washing up let the men do it." Fine, let the men do it if they want to, but that has nothing to do with equality ... I'd be accused of working against the feminist cause. Nonsense! As if washing up or wearing a bra or having someone open or close a door could be humiliating to me as a woman. The fact is, I love it when a man opens the door for me. ... in my soul is written: "I'm being treated like a goddess. I'm a queen."
"You came so that you could learn about your dreams," said the old woman. "And dreams are the language of God. When he speaks in our language, I can interpret what he has said. But if he speaks in the language of the soul, it is only you who can understand."
"I don't see any reason why I should look for someone who never took the trouble to love me."

"Of all the weapons of destruction that man could invent, the most terrible-and the most powerful-was the word. Daggers and spears left traces of blood; arrows could be seen at a distance. Poisons were detected in the end and avoided. But the word managed to destroy without leaving clues."
"Although I have been through all that I have, I do not regret the many hardships I met, because it was they who brought me to the place I wished to reach."
"The future belongs to God, and it is only he who reveals it, under extraordinary circumstances. How do I guess at the future? Based on the omens of the present. The secret is here in the present. If you pay attention to the present, you can improve upon it. And, if you improve on the present, what comes later will also be better. Forget about the future, and live ach day according to the teachings, confident that God loves his children. Each day, in itself, brings with it an eternity."
"I could have.What does this phrase mean? At any given moment in our lives, there are certain things that could have heppened but, didn't. The magic moments go unrecognized, and then suddenly, the hand of destiny changes everything."

"Love was a feeling completely bound up with color, like thousands of rainbows superimposed one on top of the other."
"Things pass, and the best we can do is to let them really go away. Getting rid of certain memories also means making some room for other memories to take their place."
"Stop being yourself and become who u always wanted to be."
"With the rain, falls the wisdom of heaven."
"Everyone when they are young knows what their destiny is. At that point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible."

"Magical places are always beautiful and deserve to be contemplated ... Always stay on the bridge between the invisible and the visible."

"Warriors of light always have a certain gleam in their eyes. They are of this world, they are part of the lives of others, and they set out on their journey with no saddlebags and no sandals. They are often cowardly. They do not always make the right decisions. They suffer over the most trivial things, they have mean thoughts, and sometimes believe that they are incapable of growing. They frequently deem themselves unworthy of any blessing or miracle. They are not always quite sure what they are doing here. They spend many sleepless nights, believing that their lives have no meaning. That is why they are warriors of light. Because they make mistakes. Because they ask themselves questions. Because they are looking for a reason - and are sure to find it."
"I think that when we look for love courageously, it reveals itself, and we wind up attracting even more love. If one person really wants us, everyone does. But if we’re alone, we become even more alone. Life is strange."
"But there is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it's better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you're fighting for."
"If it's still in your mind, it is still in your heart."
"Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream."
"I don't regret my painful times, i bare my scars as if they were medals. I know that freedom has a high price, as high as that of slavery; the only difference is that you pay with pleasure and a smile, even when that that smile dimmed by tears."
"Everyday God gives us a moment in which it is possible to change everything that makes us unhappy."
"Don't forget that everything you deal with is only one thing and nothing else."
"I don't regret the painful times; I bare my scars as if they were medals."
"Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. They move on. They move away. The moments that used to define them are covered by moments of their own accomplishments. It is not until much later, that children understand; their stories and all their accomplishments, sit atop the stories of their mothers and fathers, stones upon stones, beneath the water of their lives."
"The world is changed by your example, not by your opinion."

"Love can take us to heaven or hell, but it always takes us somewhere. Therefore, be prepared to travel..."
"The world has a soul and whoever understands that soul can also understand the language of many things."
"Brida’s eyes filled with tears. She was proud of her Soulmate. That is what the forest taught me. That you will never be mine, and that is why I will never lose you. You were my hope during my days of loneliness, my anxiety during moments of doubt, my certainty during moments of faith. Knowing that my Soulmate would come one day, I devoted myself to learning the Tradition of the Sun. Knowing that you existed was my one reason for continuing to live.’ Brida could no longer conceal her tears. Then you came, and I understood all of this. You came to free me from the slavery I myself had created, to tell me that I was free to return to the world and to the things of the world. I understood everything I needed to know, and I love you more than all the women I have ever known, more than I loved the woman who, quite unwittingly, exiled me to the forest. I will always remember now that love is liberty. That was the lesson it took me so many years to learn. That is the lesson that sent me into exile and now sets me free again.’ I will always remember you, and you will remember me, just as we will remember the evening, the rain on the windows, and all the things we’ll always have because we cannot possess them."
"It's only those who are persistent and willing to study things deeply, who achieve the master work."
"Try to find pleasure in the speed that you're not used to. Changing the way you do routine things allows a new person to grow inside of you. But when all is said and done, you're the one who must decide how you handle it."
"Life moves very fast. It rushes from Heaven to Hell in a matter of seconds."
"Borges said there are only four stories to tell: a love story between two people, a love story between three people, the struggle for power and the voyage. All of us writers rewrite these same stories ad infinitum."
"Don't explain. Your friends do not need it, and your enemies will not believe you."
"We love men because they can never fake orgasms, even if they wanted to. Because they write poems, songs, and books in our honor. Because they never understand us, but they never give up. Because they can see beauty in women when women have long ceased to see any beauty in themselves. Because they come from little boys. Because they can churn out long, intricate, Machiavellian, or incredibly complex mathematics and physics equations, but they can be comparably clueless when it comes to women. Because they are incredible lovers and never rest until we’re happy. Because they elevate sports to religion. Because they’re never afraid of the dark. Because they don’t care how they look or if they age. Because they persevere in making and repairing things beyond their abilities, with the naïve self-assurance of the teenage boy who knew everything. Because they never wear or dream of wearing high heels. Because they’re always ready for sex. Because they’re like pomegranates: lots of inedible parts, but the juicy seeds are incredibly tasty and succulent and usually exceed your expectations. Because they’re afraid to go bald. Because you always know what they think and they always mean what they say. Because they love machines, tools, and implements with the same ferocity women love jewelry. Because they go to great lengths to hide, unsuccessfully, that they are frail and human. Because they either speak too much or not at all to that end. Because they always finish the food on their plate. Because they are brave in front of insects and mice. Because a well-spoken four-year old girl can reduce them to silence, and a beautiful 25-year old can reduce them to slobbering idiots. Because they want to be either omnivorous or ascetic, warriors or lovers, artists or generals, but nothing in-between. Because for them there’s no such thing as too much adrenaline. Because when all is said and done, they can’t live without us, no matter how hard they try. Because they’re truly as simple as they claim to be. Because they love extremes and when they go to extremes, we’re there to catch them. Because they are tender they when they cry, and how seldom they do it. Because what they lack in talk, they tend to make up for in action. Because they make excellent companions when driving through rough neighborhoods or walking past dark alleys. Because they really love their moms, and they remind us of our dads. Because they never care what their horoscope, their mother-in-law, nor the neighbors say. Because they don’t lie about their age, their weight, or their clothing size. Because they have an uncanny ability to look deeply into our eyes and connect with our heart, even when we don’t want them to. Because when we say “I love you” they ask for an explanation."
"There is always a gap between intention and action..."
"Close some doors. Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because they no longer lead somewhere."
"When you want something with all your heart, that's when you are closest to the Soul of the World.... when you love someone with all your heart, that's when you are transformed." "Everything on earth is being continuously transformed, because the earth is alive... and it has a soul. We are part of that soul, so we rarely recognize that it is working for us.... we continue to change as change is the nature of man. No one is "just this way". That is who they are today - it will not be who they are tomorrow."
"Never give up. When your heart becomes tired, just walk with your legs - but move on."
"Ever since time began, people have recognized their true Love by the light in their eyes."
"Everyone believes the world's greatest lie..." says the mysterious old man. "What is the world's greatest lie?" the little boy asks. The old man replies, "It's this: that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That's the world's greatest lie."
"If you want to control someone, all you have to do is to make them feel afraid."
"I am surprised how difficult for people is to say "I love you". They only say the three magic words when they are sure they will hear "I love you too" back. C'mon! Spread the energy of love without expecting anything! Cowards are incapable of expressing love; it is the prerogative of the brave."
"To me, a witch is a woman that is capable of letting her intuition take hold of her actions, that communes with her environment, that isn't afraid of facing challenges."
"We humans have two great problems: the first is knowing when to begin; the second is knowing when to stop."
"If you think adventure is dangerous, try routine; it is lethal."
"The book is a film that takes place in the mind of the reader. That's why we go to movies and say, "Oh, the book is better."
"People are afraid to pursue their most important dreams, because they feel that they don’t deserve them, or that they’ll be unable to achieve them. We, their hearts, become fearful just thinking of loved ones who go away forever, or of moments that could have been good but weren’t, or of treasures that might have been found but were forever hidden in the sands. Because, when these things happen, we suffer terribly."
"In love, no one can harm anyone else; we are each of us responsible for our own feelings and cannot blame someone else for what we feel. It hurt when I lost each of the various men I fell in love with. Now, though, I am convinced that no one loses anyone, because no one owns anyone. That is the true experience of freedom: having the most important thing in the world without owning it."
"Stay mad, but behave like normal people. Run the risk of being different, but learn to do so without attracting attention."
"Why is patience so important? Because it makes us pay attention."
"We pretend to be strong because we are weak."
"Don't allow your mind to tell your heart what to do. The mind gives up easily."
"Haters are confused admirers who can’t understand why everybody else likes you."
"At every moment of our lives, we all have one foot in a fairy tale and the other in the abyss."
"Forgive but do not forget, or you will be hurt again. Forgiving changes the perspectives. Forgetting loses the lesson."
"Love is not a habit, a commitment, or a debt. It isn't what romantic songs tell us it is - love simply is."
"A fall from the third floor hurts as much as a fall from the hundredth. If I have to fall, may it be from a high place."
"We are afraid of losing what we have, whether it's our life or our possessions and property. But this fear evaporates when we understand that our life stories and the history of the world were written by the same hand."
"And one has to understand that braveness is not the absence of fear but rather the strength to keep on going forward despite the fear."
"We can also allow our Soulmate to pass us by,without accepting him or her,or even noticing. Then we will need another incarnation in order to find that Soulmate. And because of our selfishness, we will be condemned to the worst torture humankind ever invented for itself: loneliness."
"It's the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary."
"The most important thing in all human relationships is conversation, but people don’t talk anymore, they don’t sit down to talk and listen. They go to the theater, the cinema, watch television, listen to the radio, read books, but they almost never talk. If we want to change the world, we have to go back to a time when warriors would gather around a fire and tell stories."
"You must be the person you have never had the courage to be. Gradually, you will discover that you are that person, but until you can see this clearly, you must pretend and invent."
"Closing The Cycle One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through. Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters - whatever name we give it, what matters is to leave in the past the moments of life that have finished. Did you lose your job? Has a loving relationship come to an end? Did you leave your parents' house? Gone to live abroad? Has a long-lasting friendship ended all of a sudden? You can spend a long time wondering why this has happened. You can tell yourself you won't take another step until you find out why certain things that were so important and so solid in your life have turned into dust, just like that. But such an attitude will be awfully stressing for everyone involved: your parents, your husband or wife, your friends, your children, your sister, everyone will be finishing chapters, turning over new leaves, getting on with life, and they will all feel bad seeing you at a standstill. None of us can be in the present and the past at the same time, not even when we try to understand the things that happen to us. What has passed will not return: we cannot for ever be children, late adolescents, sons that feel guilt or rancor towards our parents, lovers who day and night relive an affair with someone who has gone away and has not the least intention of coming back. Things pass, and the best we can do is to let them really go away. That is why it is so important (however painful it may be!) to destroy souvenirs, move, give lots of things away to orphanages, sell or donate the books you have at home. Everything in this visible world is a manifestation of the invisible world, of what is going on in our hearts - and getting rid of certain memories also means making some room for other memories to take their place. Let things go. Release them. Detach yourself from them. Nobody plays this life with marked cards, so sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Do not expect anything in return, do not expect your efforts to be appreciated, your genius to be discovered, your love to be understood. Stop turning on your emotional television to watch the same program over and over again, the one that shows how much you suffered from a certain loss: that is only poisoning you, nothing else. Nothing is more dangerous than not accepting love relationships that are broken off, work that is promised but there is no starting date, decisions that are always put off waiting for the "ideal moment." Before a new chapter is begun, the old one has to be finished: tell yourself that what has passed will never come back. Remember that there was a time when you could live without that thing or that person - nothing is irreplaceable, a habit is not a need. This may sound so obvious, it may even be difficult, but it is very important. Closing cycles. Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because that no longer fits your life. Shut the door, change the record, clean the house, shake off the dust. Stop being who you were, and change into who you are."
"Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused."
"Don't waste your time with explanations: people only hear what they want to hear."
"We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path."
"A child can teach an adult three things: to be happy for no reason, to always be busy with something, and to know how to demand with all his might that which he desires."
"Tears are words that need to be written."
"If I am really a part of your dream, you'll come back one day."
"None of us knows what might happen even the next minute, yet still we go forward. Because we trust. Because we have faith."
"Anyone who has lost something they thought was theirs forever finally comes to realise that nothing really belongs to them."
"Life is too short, or too long, for me to allow myself the luxury of living it so badly."
"Anyone who is observant, who discovers the person they have always dreamed of, knows that sexual energy comes into play before sex even takes place. The greatest pleasure isn't sex, but the passion with which it is practiced. When the passion is intense, then sex joins in to complete the dance, but it is never the principal aim."
"What's the world's greatest lie?... It's this: that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate."

At that moment, time suddenly seemed to stop, and the World Spirit appeared in full reality before the boy. When he saw the girl's black eyes and lips, which were halfway between a smile and silence, he understood the most important and wisest part of the language that the world speaks and all people on earth understand with their hearts. This is love, something that is older than people and the desert themselves, but which always reappears with the same force when two pairs of eyes meet somewhere, just like here at the well.

If an unknown man calls one day, talks to us a little, doesn't point at anything, doesn't say anything special, but gives us his attention, which rarely happens to us, we are able to get into bed with him that very night, relatively in love. That's how we are, and there's nothing wrong with that: by nature, women easily open themselves up to love.
""
Love does not, never has brought happiness. On the contrary: suffering, battlefield, sleepless nights, eternal uncertainty as to whether we are doing the right thing. True love is a mixture of ecstasy and agony.
""
Go away and don't ever come back into my life, because ever since I've known you, my life has been hell, and I'm eagerly waiting for the moment when you stand in front of me, hug and kiss me, and ask me to stay by your side forever. But that moment never comes.

They talked incessantly, comparing exchange rates, praising their new, fantastic yacht, claiming that this and that poet was better than the other because they had read the reviews, since they never had time to read the books.

Passion. Is there a person in the world who, after more than five years of marriage, has never looked at someone else and never wished that their partner was someone else? Is there a person in the world who hasn't cheated on their partner at least once in their life, if only in imagination? How many men and women leave because of this, then when they realize that the passion doesn't last long, they return to their true partner? If one thinks even a little maturely, one forgets everything. After all, all of this is completely normal, acceptable, and part of the human biological structure.

On the contrary, the phrase "don't let our planet destroy us" would lead to despair, inaction and the recognition of our limited abilities.

Young people influence their parents in politics, reading, music - and not the other way around, as the more naive think.

You can't skimp on grace. If I don't use them right away, I'll lose them forever.
""
But now I saw only ruins. Ruins that our imagination turned into castles when we were children, ruins where we played so much and where I looked for my little prince so many times.
""
I imagined how good it would be to live like this. How nice it would be to be cheerful, curious, happy. To experience every moment deeply, to drink life into myself. Believing in dreams again. Being able to fight for what I want to achieve. To love the man who loves me.
""
Maybe it's all the new stuff. New shoes are always tight. It's the same in life: fate sometimes pushes us into the unknown - whether we want it or not.
""
I have had to pay a high price for the little I have. I had to give up so many things that I wanted, I had to deviate from so many paths that I could have continued on! I sacrificed my dreams for a more important dream: my peace of mind. I don't want to lose this peace.
""
We all have one purpose in creation, and that is Love. But it cannot be limited to one person - it is scattered all over the world, waiting to be found. Wake up, wake up to this love. What is gone may not come back. What comes must be recognized.
""
There are books that invite you to dream, and there are books that show you reality.
""
Who says that children can't decide for themselves what to do in life? The adults. And while we're kidding, we also think they're the wisest and smartest in the world.
""
People are never satisfied with anything. If there is little, you need a lot. If there is a lot, you need more. If there is more, they want to be happy with a little, but are unable to make the effort. Do they really not understand how simple happiness is? What did the girl who ran somewhere in jeans and a white T-shirt want? What could have been so urgent that it didn't allow him to enjoy the beautiful sunshine, the blue sea, the children sitting in strollers, the palm trees on the beach?
""
The Super Class rules the world, its arguments are convincing, its voice is pleasant, its smile is delightful, but its decisions are irreversible. And they know it well. They decide: accept or reject. They have the power.
""
There are no exceptional opportunities, life always gives you another chance.
""
By transforming mental pain into physical pain, we learn the harm it can cause us.
""
On the Way of Saint James, but also in life, wisdom only has value if it helps a person to overcome any obstacle.
""
They are afraid to take risks, they are afraid to lose, but they are also afraid to win, because they are afraid of envy, they are afraid to love, because they are afraid of rejection (...), to grow old, to die, they are afraid that they will only be noticed because of their weaknesses and not noticed on their values, or that no one notices them at all, either because of their weaknesses or because of their value. Fear, fear and fear. Life is the realm of fear.
""
Why should you be afraid of a "no", why should you postpone anything for later, if the most important thing is to enjoy life to the fullest?
""
Some people seem happy. They just don't think things through. Others make plans: I will have a husband, a house, two children, a weekend house. And while they are busy with this, they are like a bull chasing a bullfighter: they act on instinct, they just go after their head without seeing where the goal is. They get their car, maybe even a Ferrari, and they think this is the meaning of life. They never ask themselves the question. But I can see in their eyes that they are sad and they don't even know it.
""
There are moments when life separates certain people from each other, just so that they both understand how much they mean to each other.
""
The time of birth, the time of death is the time of planting, the time of harvest is the time of killing, the time of healing is the time of destruction, the time of building is the time of weeping, the time of laughter is the time of shouting, the time of dancing is the time of throwing stones, the time of gathering stones is time to embrace, time to separate is time to search, time to lose is time to preserve, time to throw away is time to tear apart, time to sew together is time to love, time to hate is time for war, time for peace.
""
I love you so much, I've never loved anyone else like this, and that's why I'm leaving, because if I stay, the dream will become reality, and then I'll want to own you, I want your life to be mine... But no, I don't want the may our love also turn into slavery. It's better if it remains a dream.
""
They learned to love each other freely and knew that no other relationship could be as good - and maybe that was the only reason they loved each other, because they knew they didn't need each other.
""
In the beginning of time, there was little injustice. But each new little injustice added up, though none of them in itself was given importance. And look where we got.
""
He's just like any other person, silently suffering from loneliness, trying to justify his actions, pretending to be strong when he's weak and pretending to be weak when he's strong, giving up any passion for a dangerous job, but it's over soon, his future is full of plans , and his past with many, many disappointments.
""
He believes in miracles, and because he believes in them, they happen. He is sure that his thinking can change his life, and because he is sure, his life will change. He trusts that love will find him, and because he trusts it, it will find him... Sometimes he is disappointed, sometimes he gets hurt... But the warrior knows that it is worth believing, and for every defeat there are two victories. Everyone who believes knows this.
""
Men only mean pain, failure, suffering and the feeling that time has stopped.
""
I want to understand love. I know that I really lived when I loved, and I also know that now there is nothing in my life that inspires me. But love is so terrible: I see my girlfriends suffer every day, and I don't want that to happen to me. Those who used to laugh at my innocence now keep asking me how I can control men so well. In such cases, I just smile and don't answer, because I know that the cure is worse than the pain: I simply won't fall in love.
""
If it is true that even God has his own hell, and this is the love he feels for people, then every person has a hell, namely at an arm's length: the love he feels for his family.
""
Unfortunate is he who does not dare to take risks. You may never be disappointed, never disillusioned, and never suffer like those who follow a single dream all their lives. But when he looks back - because we all look back - he hears what his heart whispers: "What did you do with the many miracles that God sprinkled in your everyday life? What did you do with the talents that your Master entrusted to you? Did you bury them all in a deep pit because you were afraid, that you will lose them. Here is your inheritance: the certainty that you have wasted your life."
""
Good and bad have the same face, it all just depends on which moment in our life we meet them.
""
True freedom (...) does not mean the complete absence of commitment, but the ability to make independent decisions and commit yourself to what is best for you.
""
A wise man is wise precisely because he loves. And a fool is a fool because he thinks he can understand the essence of love.
""
You own my treasure: the pen I used to write down my dreams. And I own your treasure: one of the wagons of a toy train, a part of your childhood that you didn't live. From now on, I carry a piece of your past with me, and you can carry a piece of your present with you.
""
If anyone wants to tell my story, I'll ask them to start the way fairy tales usually start: Once upon a time...
""
Two seconds of dying seems short, but that's not how we measure time.
""
But before I die, I still want to fight for life. If I learn to walk alone, I'll go where I want to go.
""
I can choose what I see myself as: a victim of the world or an adventurer looking for treasure. It's all just a matter of perspective.
""
Monogamy is just a myth shoved down humanity's throat. (...) There is no question of hormonal excess or vanity: infidelity is simply genetically coded in us, just like in other animals.
""
Nor can we say to spring: "I hope you come soon and stay long." We can only say, "Come, give me the gift of hope, and stay as long as you can."
""
Life is too short - or too long - to allow myself to live with such nonsense.
""
People can only appreciate something when they have the opportunity to doubt whether they will get what they want.
""
Sometimes the whole life changes in such a short time that you can't even get used to it.
""
I don't want to change anything because I don't know how to change. I'm already too used to myself.
""
Talent is a universal gift. But it takes a lot of courage to live with it: dare to be the best!
""
In this world, only love is worth everything. The rest makes no sense.
""
There are moments when we have to resign ourselves to our fate and let things take their course.
""
There are always conditions for people to do what they dream of.
""
I will always try to keep the little I have because I am too small to embrace the whole world.
""
Even if I don't find my sword, I might find myself at the end of my pilgrimage on the Way of Saint James.
""
Courage doesn't mean that we don't have fear - it means that we don't let it paralyze us.
""
By changing the way you do routine things, you will see a new person grow inside you.
""
The signs - sometimes imperceptibly, sometimes quite clearly - are all around us. However, they require careful interpretation if we want to transform them into a guiding map.
""
Keep in your memory for the rest of your life the good things that came out of the difficulties. They prove your abilities and give you confidence in the face of any difficulty.
""
Courage is the most important quality of those who research the World Language.
""
Everything is written in the noises. Man's past, present, future. A person who is unable to hear does not hear life's advice, which we receive every moment. Only those who hear the noise of the present can make a sure decision.
""
From whichever side you look at the mountain, you will always see it differently, even though it is the same mountain. Everything like this, which is the work of creation: shows different faces of the same God.
""
The story will only change if we can use the energy of love, just as we can use the energy of the wind, the seas and the atoms.
""
It's strange, but my depression never came up on such cloudy, gray, cold days. In such weather, I always felt that nature was in harmony with me and reflected my soul. But when the sun came out, the children were playing outside in the street, and everyone was happy about the beautiful weather, I felt horrible. Because what an injustice it is that there is so much happiness in the world, but I don't get it.
""
Treasures are washed out of the ground by the water, and buried by the same current.
""
A warrior's comrades stand by him at all times, in both difficult and easy times.
""
Since ancient times, man has known that as soon as he faces pain without fear, he will be free.
""
When a person moves towards the fulfillment of his destiny, he is often forced to change direction.
""
We travel all over the world, searching for our dreams and ideals. We often push things that are just an arm's length away from us into unreachable places.
""
A warrior of light makes decisions. His soul is as free as the clouds in the sky, but he is committed to his dream.
""
We don't need to know "how" and "where", but we have to ask one question when we start anything: "For what purpose do I do what I do?"
""
As soon as we can't go back, we just have to worry about how best to move forward.
""
A deep commitment to a dream does not mean limitations and constraints: it liberates. Even a complicated, winding path can lead you to your goal if you go all the way to the end.
""
A warrior of light needs a strong will and an awful lot of patience to achieve his dream.
""
Once upon a time there was a bird. Fate blessed him with two perfect wings and beautiful, shiny, colorful feathers. An animal that can fly freely in the sky also makes the person watching it happy. One day a woman saw this bird and fell in love with it. (...) The woman admired, respected and loved the bird passionately. But one day he thought: what if the bird wants to get to know more distant mountains one day? And he got scared. (...) And he thought: "I will set a trap for him. If he comes again, he will not be able to fly away from me." The bird was also in love with him, and the next day he appeared as usual, but fell into the trap and became a prisoner. She locked him in a cage and watched him all day. (...) Since the bird could not fly, it could not express the meaning of its existence and slowly withered, lost the luster of its feathers and became ugly. (...) One day the bird died. The woman was overcome with grief and thought about him day and night. But he didn't remember the cage, but the day when he first saw it flying happily among the clouds. (...) Without the bird, his life also lost its meaning, and death soon knocked on his door. "Why did you come?" he asked death. "So that you can fly with your bird again," replied death. "If you had always let him fly away and come back to you, you would have loved and admired him even more, but now you need me even to meet him again."
""
We all live in our own world. But if you look up at the sky, you can see how the stars, these small separate worlds, together form wonderful constellations, solar systems, galaxies.
""
Everything that is on and below the surface of the earth is constantly transforming, because the earth is alive and has a soul.
""
People don't even realize what good things life shows while the sun is making its way across the sky.
""
A warrior of light knows that he is free to decide what he wants. He makes his decisions bravely and selflessly, sometimes with a touch of madness.
""
Certain storms, before they break into our garden, send small messages that we ignore out of laziness.
""
I realized that the search can be just as interesting as the encounter itself. Provided we overcome fear.
""
You won't drown if you simply jump into the water; you only drown if you don't come to the surface.
""
When one finds one's way, one should not be afraid. You have to be brave enough to make bad moves. Disappointment, defeat, and discouragement are all God's tools to show us the way.
""
My zest for life became huge again. (...) I realized: the meaning of my life is what I want to give him.
""
We are warriors of light. With the power of love and will residing within us, we can change our fate and the fate of many other people.
""
The two biggest possible mistakes of a strategy: acting prematurely and delaying the opportunity.
""
Warriors of light often ask themselves, "What am I doing here?" Very often they feel that their lives have no meaning. That is why they are warriors of light. Because they make mistakes. Because they ask questions. Because they are always looking for the meaning of things. And eventually they will find it.
""
When we are tall, we can see everything as small. Then our glory and sadness are no longer important. Both our profits and losses stay down there. From the top of the mountain, you can also see how big the world is, how wide the horizon is.
""
We can only measure our own suffering, and only our own life can feel unnecessary.
""
A good fighter admits defeat. He doesn't remain indifferent to it, but he doesn't try to present it as a victory either.
""
The warrior of light recognizes the Path the moment he sets out on it. Every stone, every bend greets you with a shout of welcome. He becomes identified with the mountains and the streams, he sees his own soul in the plants, animals and birds of the field. Then, accepting the help of God and God's Signs, he allows his Personal History to guide him to the tasks that life has in store for him.
""
No one can know what will happen in the next minute, and yet people move forward. Because they trust. Because they have Faith.
""
God in his infinite wisdom hid Hell in the middle of Paradise. Namely, to be forced to always be on the lookout.
""
The warrior of light stands by his desire, but knows that he must wait for the best moments.
""
Life always waits for critical moments so that it can show its bright side in its full brilliance.
""
We must take advantage of the luck that has smiled on us and do everything we can to help him as he helps us.
""
It is not difficult to rebuild life. (...) It is enough to know that we have the same strength as before. And we turn it to our advantage.
""
There is only one sin - lack of love. Be brave, be able to love, even if love seems a terrible and deceitful thing. Find joy in love. Find joy in winning. Follow what your heart dictates.
""
Since the beginning of time, people have tried to understand the universe through love.
""
What is the force that leads us far from the comforts of the ordinary world and makes us rather take on the host of challenges, even though we know that the glory of this world is fleeting? I believe this driving force is called the search for the meaning of life. For many, many years I have searched for the sure answer in books, arts and sciences, I have followed dangerous and easy paths for it, and I have found many answers. Now I am convinced that we will never be given a definite answer in this life, but in the end, in the moment when we stand before the Creator, we will understand every opportunity that has ever been offered to us.
""
If someone loves you, you can transform into anything that was created.
""
According to Plato, at the beginning of creation man was not as he is today. There were no men and women, only one kind of being: it was short, it had one body and one neck, but on its head it had two faces, one looking forward and the other looking back. It was as if two creatures had been glued together at the back. This creature had two sexes, four legs and four arms. But the Greek gods were jealous because they saw that a creature with four arms could work much more, that the two faces could always see everything, so it could not be hit, and the four legs could walk for a long time or simply stay on its feet. And what is most dangerous: such a two-sexed creature needs nothing but to be able to reproduce. Then said Zeus, the greatest lord of Olympus: "I know what could be done with these mortals so that they would not be so strong." And with a flash of lightning he split them in two, creating man and woman. This greatly increased the population of the earth, but at the same time greatly weakened its inhabitants. Because now everyone had to find the lost other half again, so that they could embrace each other, and in this embrace they could regain their old strength, to be able to resist the attack, to be able to endure the long march, the tiring work again.
""
Every time a person dies, a part of the universe is destroyed. Everything that this person felt, experienced, admired, disappears with him, somehow like tears in the rain.
""
Anyone who meddles in other people's personal history will never find his own.
""
During my worst times, my friends were there for me. Since then, the first thing I do in such cases is simply to ask for help.
""
We all know people who try to cover up their kind gestures with irony and indifference, as if love equals weakness.
""
Winning can give you confidence, but it shouldn't become a burden and settle on your shoulders.
""
When faced with real danger, one cannot look away, even though it would be the right and safest thing to do.
""
The road to the top of the mountain is always longer than one expects. Don't be fooled, the moment will surely come when it turns out that what seemed close is still very far away.
""
Remember: never be arrogant towards the humble. And never humble yourself to the arrogant.
""
The glory of the world is fleeting, and our lives should not be measured by it, but by the decisions we make about following our personal story, believing in our utopia, and fighting for our dreams. We are all the protagonists of our own lives, and often the unsung heroes leave the biggest mark.
""
We tend to look for commitment, because we usually see freedom as something where there are no boundaries or responsibilities.
""
It's one thing that the whole universe is coming together to make our dreams come true, and it's another thing that we're facing completely unnecessary challenges.
""
At a certain moment in our existence, we lose control over our lives, which thus fall into the hands of fate. This is the biggest lie in the world.
""
The soil needs the seed and the seed needs the soil. One only makes sense in conjunction with the other. The same thing happens with people. When masculine knowledge unites with feminine transformation, the great magical unity called Wisdom is created.
""
When a person is in love, he can learn anything and get to know things he never dreamed of - because love is the key to solving all mysteries.
""
Every man and every woman is connected to the energy called love, which is really nothing more than the primeval raw material from which the universe was created. This energy cannot be manipulated - it is the one who guides us gently, all our knowledge comes from it.
""
The warrior of light surrenders to the passions within him and enjoys them fully. You know that you don't have to give up the happiness of victories, because they are part of life and bring joy to everyone who participates in them.
""
Everything is allowed, except for one thing: to interrupt the manifestation of love.
""
God is love, generosity and forgiveness; if we believe this, we will never let our weaknesses paralyze us.
""
There are moments when God demands obedience. But there are also times when he tests our will and wonders if we can grasp the essence of divine love.
""
Don't keep trying to explain your feelings. Live everything intensely and keep what you felt as a gift from God.
""
Be like the spring that overflows forever, and not like the lake that always has the same amount of water.
""
Accumulated love brings luck, accumulated hate brings misfortune.
""
For a warrior of light, there is no such thing as hopeless love. He is not intimidated by silence, indifference or rejection. He knows that behind people's frozen masks, a warm heart beats.
""
Love: looking at the same mountain range from different angles.
""
A warrior of light needs love. Love and tenderness are part of his nature. He uses loneliness to his advantage, but he does not become addicted to it.
""
When someone loves you, you don't have to understand what's going on at all, because then everything takes place inside of you.
""
Life is shaped the way we shape it. But there are also things that the gods oblige us to do. It doesn't matter for what reason they do it, and it's useless to try everything possible to avoid these things from afar.
""
We grow, we change, sometimes we notice a mistake in ourselves that needs to be corrected, we don't always choose the best solution, but in the midst of trials we continue to live, we exist, and we try to stand firm to lend dignity, but not to the walls, and not to the doors and windows, but to the inner, empty space where we worship everything that is dear and important to us.
""
We can only get a picture of who we are if we accept the desires within us.
""
Always have doubts. When you stop doubting, it means you stopped in your tracks.
""
The path includes respecting the small and delicate things. Always recognize the moment when appropriate behavior is important.
""
The simplest things are the most unusual, and only the wise can see them.
""
There are moments when one is forced to blindly trust one's intuition.
""
The day will come when the door will be opened to those who knock; those who ask receive; those who cry are comforted.
""
I don't mind the moments of suffering, I wear my wounds as if they were medals, because I know that freedom costs a lot, just as much as slavery - the only difference is that you pay for freedom happily, with a smile, even then , if you swallow your tears.
""
In order to live fully, one must be constantly in motion, because that is the only way each day differs from the previous one.
""
If you start promising something you don't have yet, you won't strive to get it.
""
It's even harder to find your own way. He who cannot choose is dead in the eyes of the Lord, though he still breathes and walks the streets. Everything that exists has a reason: you just have to be able to distinguish the temporary from the final.
""
The warrior of light, before going into battle, opens his heart and asks for God's encouraging strength.
""
Forget forever the idea that a journey is a means to an end. In fact, every step we take is an arrival. Every morning say to yourself: "I have arrived".
""
If we delay the harvest for a long time, the fruit will rot. But if we put our worries aside, they always multiply.
""
The only way to make the right decision is to know what the wrong decision is. In other words, you have to examine the other way, without fear or cowardice, and then make a decision.
""
We always tend to fantasize about things that don't exist, and to not see the great lessons that will pop out of our eyes.
""
Your heart is where your treasure is. And you have to find your treasure so that everything you discovered on your way can make sense.
""
The warrior is never overcome by fear as he searches for what he needs. Without love you are worth nothing.
""
You have to follow the signs to get there. God has marked the way for every person in his world.
""
Angels are seen by those who accept the light. And breaks the covenant of darkness.
""
The Warrior of Light is not afraid to heal old wounds or rejoice in new discoveries. When he feels the time has come, he leaves everything behind and goes after the adventure he's dreamed of.
""
Life is full of simple things, and you are tired of constantly trying to find the unknown.
""
Either way, the inevitable always happens. (...) - It takes self-discipline and patience to overcome it. (...) - And hope. If it is no longer there, we must not fight the impossible, we must not waste our strength on it. - It's not about faith in the future. We have to recreate our own past.
""
Love also shows itself when we bravely fight for it. And if we were brave enough and found it, we end up attracting even more love.
""
In any case, it's not worth thinking about what might happen: I've already taken the first step, I have to go through with it.
""
Open your heart and listen to what it whispers. Follow your dreams, because only he who is not ashamed of himself can show the glory of God.
""
Every moment of the search is a moment of encounter with God and Eternity.
""
For each of the next 365 days, I will look at everything and everyone as if I were doing it for the first time - especially the little things.
""
When people decide to face a problem, they actually realize that they are capable of much more than they thought.
""
The only way to save our dreams is to be generous with ourselves.
""
I focused all my energy on the reward, without realizing it: if you want something, you have to set a very clear goal for what you need. This is the only motive for seeking reward.
""
If your past is such that you are dissatisfied with it, forget it now. (...) Imagine a different story for your life and believe in it. Think only of those moments when your plan succeeded, and this power will help you achieve what you want.
""
The world is in the hands of those who have the courage to dream and who take the risk to live their dreams - each according to his talent.
""
The fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. No heart suffered when it sought its dreams.
""
The pursuit of happiness is more important than the pursuit of pain.
""
The Noble Struggle has moved from the battlefields into ourselves. The Noble Struggle is what we fight in the name of our dreams.
""
Happiness is often a blessing - but we usually have to fight for it. The magical moment helps us to change and go after our dreams.
""
Only one thing can separate you from the dream: the fear of failure.
""
If you want something, the whole Universe comes together to make your wish come true.
""
Along the way, I run into some currents, wind, storms, but I just keep paddling, and then I get more and more tired, and now I am aware that I have lost my way, I am lost, and I can no longer see the island that I have chosen. But now I'm not going back either.
""
Every moment of life teaches, and the only secret is to accept that only in our everyday life can we be as wise as Solomon and as powerful as Alexander the Great!
""
The enemy rarely represents evil! It is always present, because a sword that is not used will rust! (...) We all already know everything before someone initiates us!
""
The sword just slashes. But the hand is already a winner or a loser before it hits! Our enemy only fights us because he knows he can reach us!
""
Fighting is an act of love! The enemy develops and perfects us!
""
Get into something! Then time will not be your enemy, but your ally.
""
Take advantage of every opportunity in life, because once you miss them, they will come back very soon.
""
The warrior of light knows that God uses loneliness to teach us how to live together. He uses war to show the meaning of peace. And to awaken the boredom of inactivity to the importance of adventure. God uses silence to teach us the responsibility of words. He uses fatigue to understand the meaning of awakening. And the illness to make you realize the importance of health. God uses fire to teach about water. Use the earth to understand the value of air. And death to show the importance of life.
""
The first symptom of killing our dreams is lack of time. The second symptom of the death of our dreams: our certainties. Finally, the third symptom of the death of our dreams is peace.
""
I exist because I have friends. I stayed afloat because they got in my way. They taught me to do my best, even if I didn't prove to be a good student at some points in my life. But I think I have learned something of what they call generosity.
""
Who will I be in your biography? Although I haven't read it yet, I know the answer: I will be all the people who have ever crossed my path. I will be the person who reached out, hoping that there would be another hand to help in difficult times.
""
Every time I felt like I was in control, something happened to knock me down. I asked myself: why? Maybe I was doomed to always approach the finish line but never cross it? Would God be so cruel to me and let me see palm trees on the horizon only to die of thirst in the middle of the desert? It took me a long time to understand that this was not really the case. During our lives, we encounter certain obstacles in order to find our way back to the true path of our Personal History.
""
It is enough for man to believe that angels exist, it is enough that he needs them. And then they will show themselves and shine like the first lights of the dawn.
""
No one at night. A thousand strangers a day. And loneliness is so palpable that I already feel like it's something alive and hard that fills every nook and cranny.
""
Good morning, dad. My hand is empty, but I give you this rising sun, which is red, almighty, so that you will be less sad and happier, so that you will believe that you are doing the right thing and I am happy.
""
We would talk about the most ordinary things in the world. You would leave smiling and look forward to seeing you again in a few days. You wouldn't know about anything and I would find that everything is fine. At the elevator door, you'd notice a silly tear in my eye, and I'd say I was just yawning because I was bored with the conversation. (...) Then I would come into my room and cry into a handkerchief and think about what was and what should have been and what could not have been.
""
I am waiting for you so much, and as the moment approaches, I want to see you more and more. (...) I feel less alone here, the world is much more beautiful this way, even from behind bars. And it will be even better if you come. Therefore, this morning I open my heart completely and give it to you, my love.
""
If you are able to ask friends and enemies for another chance If you are able to hear a "no" as if it meant "maybe" If you are able to start from the bottom and still appreciate the little that has been given If you are able to fulfill every moment and reach the top without vanity taking over you Then you will eventually become a writer.

We lose our rapture over our petty and necessary defeats in the Noble Struggle. And because we do not know that the rapture is a greater power that is fulfilled in the final victory, we let it slip through our fingers, without realizing it, we have missed the true meaning of our lives. We blame the world for our annoyances, our failures, and forget that we were the ones who let this captivating force slip away.

When we love someone from the bottom of our soul, we believe in something, we feel stronger than the world, and we are filled with a serene calm that comes from the certainty that nothing can defeat our faith. This special power makes sure that we always make sure decisions at the right time, and when we reach our goal, we are surprised by our own ability.

What makes the earth go round is not the pursuit of pleasure, but the renunciation of all that is important. Does the soldier go into battle to kill the enemy? No: he goes to die for his country. Do women like it when their husbands can see how satisfied they are? No: they want you to see how devoted, self-sacrificing, and how much she suffers to make him happy. Does the man work to realize himself? No: he gives every drop of sweat and tears to support his family. And so on: children give up their dreams for the sake of their parents, parents give up life for the sake of their children. Through pain and suffering, they prove to each other what should only bring joy to their lives: their love.
""
If you can understand how to live without suffering, that is a very big word. But don't think others will understand. Nobody really likes to suffer, yet almost everyone looks for the pain, the sacrifice and they feel justified, they feel that with their self-sacrifice they earn the recognition of their children, their husbands, their neighbors and God.

There are two worlds: the one we dream of and the one that exists in reality.

This may seem like a contradiction, but I have known many people who were no longer alive, but still worked, ate and went about their social duties in the same way as before. They did everything automatically, without noticing the magical moment that each day holds, without once stopping to think for a second about the wonder of life, without understanding that the next minute might be the last spend on this planet.

No one should have to ask the question: why am I unhappy? This question contains the virus that destroys everything. If we ask this question, we will soon also ask what makes us happy. And if what makes us happy is different from what we live in, we will either change things or become even more unhappy.

If someone is able to love his partner without precepts or conditions, that embodies divine love. And if divine love is embodied in him, he can also love his neighbors. And if you love your neighbors, you will love yourself. And if you love yourself, things will fall into place.

Dreaming is easy, until you don't have to do anything about it. Because we don't have to face risk, failure, difficult moments, and when we get old, we can easily blame others - our parents, our husbands, our children - for not realizing our dreams.

As women, when we are looking for the meaning of our lives or the path to knowledge, we always identify with one of the four classic archetypes. Virgo (and I'm not talking about sexuality here) is the type who finds her way through complete independence, and everything she learns comes from being able to face challenges alone. The Martyr finds the way to self-knowledge in pain, devotion and suffering. The Saint finds the meaning of his life in boundless love and in the ability to give without asking for anything in return. The Witch, on the other hand, seeks complete and limitless pleasure in order to give meaning to her existence.

Because of passion, a person cannot eat, sleep, work, or relax. And many people are afraid of him, because when he appears, he crushes everything old in his path. No one wants to destroy your life. Therefore, many people are able to keep this danger away from them and are able to maintain a house that is already rotting from the inside. They are the engineers of consciousness. Others think just the opposite: they surrender to passion without thinking and expect it to provide a solution to all their problems.

Is there anything you wouldn't give away? You will give everything you have one day. You often say: "I would give, but only to those who deserve it." The trees in your gardens do not say this, nor do your flocks in the pasture. They give in order to live, because not giving destroys.

A patient suffering from chronic bitterness becomes aware of his illness once a week: on Sunday afternoon. Since neither work nor the uniformity of everyday life relieves his symptoms, he realizes that something is very wrong, because these calm, peaceful afternoons are hell for him and they never want to end.

It's like being in a foreign country: you see everything, you understand everything that's going on around you, but you're unable to express yourself and you can't ask for help because you don't understand the language they speak. - We've all felt it. - One way or another, we are all fools.

One can have two attitudes in life: Building or Planting. The work of the builders may last for years, but one day it will end. Then they stop, and the walls they build set their boundaries. Life loses its meaning once the construction is over. On the other hand, there are the planters. They are constantly fighting the storms, the seasons, and rarely rest. Unlike a building, the development of a garden never ends. And while it demands constant attention from the gardener, it also allows life to be a big adventure for him.

A perfect crime: we can never find out who killed our joy, where the culprits are, and what kind of reasons guided them.

I sat on the banks of the Piedra River and cried. According to legend, everything that falls into this water - tree leaves, bugs, bird feathers - turns into pebbles at the bottom of the river. Oh, that I could tear my heart from my bosom and cast it into your flood! There would be no more pain, no more suffering, no more memories. I sat on the banks of the Piedra River and cried. It was a cold winter's day, and I could feel the tears running down my face, then mixing with the icy water that rushed at my feet. Somewhere this river will join another, and then another, until finally - far from my eyes and heart - all this water flows into the sea. So let my tears flow as far as possible, so that my beloved will never know that I cried for him. Let my tears flow as far as possible so that I can forget the river Piedra, the monastery, the church in the Pyrenees, the fog, the whole journey we have made. Let me forget the highways, mountains and fields of my dreams. My dreams that were mine and yet I didn't know about them.

Everyone can love, as we are all born with this gift.

Every warrior has felt the fear of a battle. Every fighter has cheated and lied in their lives. Every warrior has already started on a path that was not intended for him by fate. Every warrior has suffered because of insignificant things. Every fighter has felt that he is not a real fighter. Every warrior has made mistakes while fulfilling his spiritual mission. Every fighter has said yes when he wanted to say no. Every fighter has hurt someone they love. That's why he's a warrior of light: because he went through all of this and still didn't lose hope that he could be better than he was at the moment.
""
Sometimes it happens that someone who fought on the side of the warrior suddenly becomes his enemy. The warrior's first reaction is hatred, but he knows that the blind soldier is losing the battle. Therefore, he rather thinks about the pleasant time spent together, and tries to understand what could have led his former ally to this sudden decision, and what bitterness has accumulated in his soul. He is looking for the reason why his partner abandoned their mutual intention. No one is all good or all bad. This is what the Warrior of Light thinks when he sees that he has gained a new enemy.

The role of the benevolent soul is for someone who does not dare to stand up for what is right. It is much easier to believe in our own goodness than to confront others and assert our rights. It is much easier to swallow an insult without saying a word than to fight with the stronger one. You can always say that the stone that was thrown at you did not hit you. Only at night - when our wife or husband is already asleep and no one can hear - only then do we dare to cry about our cowardice.

Since everyone sees the world in their own way, they experience their difficulties and successes in their own way. To teach means to show the possibility. To learn is to take advantage of the opportunity.

If you are strong enough, do not be ashamed to show yourself weak: if you do so, your enemy will abandon caution and attack prematurely.

The warrior of light shares his knowledge with others. He knows that those who help will be helped, and he must pass on what he knows. So he sits down by the campfire and recounts his battles.

Love doesn't need to be talked about, because love has its own voice and speaks for itself.

Love is full of traps. At first, when it wants to unfold, its light blinds us and prevents us from noticing the shadows that this very light creates.

I don't know his fears, but I do know mine. And we don't need new fears, what we have is enough.

I'm just a link to your past. Through me, you get closer to your roots, and that is enough for you to have tender feelings for me. But that's all it's about, nothing more. This has nothing to do with love.

The further away we are from an experience, the closer we feel it to our heart, no matter how hard we try to suppress it and forget it. When we are in exile, we fearfully cherish every little memory that reminds us of our roots.

Fate puts us in front of big decisions when we least expect it. This is when it becomes clear whether we are brave enough to change our lives. In such cases, we cannot pretend that nothing happened, and we cannot claim that we are not yet prepared for the decision. The test doesn't wait. Life doesn't look back.

You always find new friends, but you don't have to be with them day after day. If, on the other hand, we always see the same people - like in the seminar, for example - then in the end they become a part of our lives. And if they become a part of our lives, eventually they even want to have a say in our lives. And if we don't behave according to their idea, they get angry. Because everyone knows exactly how the others should live. In contrast, they never know how to live themselves.

Anyone who has lost something they thought was unlosable (and this has happened to me countless times) realizes that they actually have nothing. And if I don't have anything, I don't have to waste my time taking care of things that aren't really mine. I'd rather live as if every day were the first - or last - day of my life.

Although I want to understand love, and although I have suffered a lot for those to whom I gave my heart, I think I am no longer capable of loving, because I see that those who touched my soul could not awaken my body, and those who touched my body, they couldn't get close to my soul.

I saw that people constantly refer to freedom, even though, in addition to this fundamental right, they are all the more slaves to the desires of their parents, to a spouse to whom they promised at the time that they would stick with him "to the death, to the death", the balance sheet of the business, the system, unfinished projects, to lovers who couldn't say "no" or "enough", to weekends where they have to have lunch with people they have no desire to be with. They are slaves to luxury, the appearance of luxury, and the appearance of luxury. Slaves to a life that they didn't choose for themselves, they just decided to go through with it - because someone convinced them that it would be the best. And so their days and nights are exactly the same, and for them adventure is just a word in some book and just a picture on the TV that is always on.

And if I'm a little short (...), it's because I'm human at heart, and that's just the way it is.

If two people marry each other, then these two people must preserve themselves for the rest of their lives.

Even if one of you sometimes wants to move further or closer - because that would be a violation of the rule. And the rule says: be sober, think about the future, about your children. You can't change anymore, you have to be like the pair of rails: you have to keep the distance that was between you at the start, all the way to the destination. Don't let your love change, either at the beginning of the journey when it wants to grow, or later on when it wants to decrease, because that is extremely risky.

Love was born from the meeting of two different natures. Love draws strength from contradiction. And collision and transformation make it durable.

The energy of hatred leads nowhere, but the energy of forgiveness embodied in love can set your life on the right path.

True friends are those who are by our side when things are going well. They cheer for us, they are happy about our victories. And false friends are those who appear in difficult moments, with that "sympathetic" face lined with boos, when in fact they receive our suffering so that they can comfort themselves because of their miserable lives.

The universe usually tells us that we have made a mistake by taking away from us what is most important to us.

Since your problem is not with me, but with yourself, it will be better if you are alone for a while.

Happiness is a strange thing: if we share it with others, it multiplies itself.

When we fall in love with someone, we get the impression that the whole universe is on our side and supporting us.
""
Love is always different. No matter how many times we fall in love in our life, once, twice or ten times: new love is always unknown. Love will either push you to the bottom of hell or fly you to heaven, but one thing is for sure: it will get you somewhere. And we cannot refuse it, because it is the basic condition of our existence. If we do not dare to accept it, we die of hunger at an arm's length from the tree that offers its fruits in vain.
""
We can make a lot of mistakes in life. Not one: the one that destroys.
""
For years I fought against my own heart because I was afraid of sorrow, disappointment and suffering. I always knew that true love is above all that and that even dying is better than living without love. (...) If the price is full of suffering and disappointment and loneliness, it is still worth being in love.
""
Suffering comes from expecting to be loved as we imagined - instead of allowing love to manifest as it wants: freely, unbridled, in full force, leading us, preventing us from stopping.
""
People need to understand that no one plays with a deck of hands, sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Don't wait to get something back, don't wait for them to notice your efforts, to discover your talent, to understand your love. Each cycle must be closed. Not out of pride, not because you can't fight anymore, not out of arrogance, but simply because it's no longer part of your life. Close the door, change the disc, clean your house, shake out the dust rag. Forget who you were and be who you are.
""
Everyone believes that the purpose of life on earth is to fulfill some plan. No one asks if this design is his or someone else's. They collect experiences, memories, things, other people's ideas, and collect more than they can handle. And in the process they forget about their dream.

Do you know what gives a woman the greatest joy in marriage? (...) Feeding. Watching her husband eat. This is the moment when the woman who has been scratching her head over dinner all day goes to heaven.

The only important thing is to be alert, because the lessons will always come when you are ready to receive them, and if you listen to the signs, you will always learn everything you need to take the next step.

And even if it does, if I really lose, I still won a happy day. And when I think about how terrible this world is, even one happy day is a miracle.

Every person has a desire that is only theirs, and this desire may push many away from them, but it brings the important ones closer to them. This desire comes from the depths of my soul and is so strong that it infects everyone around me.

- Two firefighters go into the forest to put out a small fire. When they are done, they go to a small stream. One of them has a face full of soot, but the other is spotlessly clean... which one will wash his face? - This is a stupid question: obviously the one whose face is full of soot. - You are wrong: the one with the sooty face looks at his companion and thinks that he is just like the other. And vice versa: the one whose face is clean sees that his companion is full of age and says to himself: I must be that dirty too, I have to wash myself. - What do you mean by that? - I want to say that in the hospital I understood that I was always looking for myself in the women I loved. I looked at their clean, beautiful faces and saw myself reflected in them. But they also looked at me and saw that my face was sooty, and as smart and confident as they were, they also saw themselves reflected in me and thought themselves worse than they were.

Conversation is the most important thing in all human relationships, but people don't talk to each other anymore, they don't sit down just to talk and listen to each other. They go to the theater, the cinema, watch TV, listen to the radio, read books, but hardly talk to each other. If we want to change the world, we need to go back to the days when warriors sat around the fire and told stories.

Running away from the fight is the worst thing that can happen to us. It is worse than losing, because we can always learn something from defeat, but by running we are only announcing the victory of our enemy.

We always see what would be the best way, but we always go the way we are used to.

I have experienced that loneliness is strongest when we try to fight it. But if we don't take notice of it, it weakens.

If it has to hurt, then hurt now (...). Because I have my whole life ahead of me and I want to make the most of it. If you have to choose, choose soon. I will wait. Or I forget. Waiting hurts. Forgetting hurts too. But the worst of all suffering is not knowing how to decide.
""
Love cannot ask much, because the moment we start to think, we start to fear. It's an inexplicable fear, it's not even worth trying to put it into words. Perhaps we are afraid that the other will despise us, that he will reject us, that the spell will be broken. It might sound ridiculous, but it's true. That is why it is better for love not to ask, but to act.
""
Maybe it's too early, maybe it's too late, but now I want to say it, just like you said it: I love you. You don't have to believe it, it might be silly, or it might just be my imagination.
""
Maybe God created the desert so that people can smile when they see date palms.

People are not afraid of the unknown, because all people are capable of achieving everything they want and need. We are only afraid of losing what we have, be it our life or our land. But our fear disappears as soon as we understand that our history and the history of the world were written by the same Hand.

The human race has two big problems. The first: finding the moment to start something. The second is to find the moment to stop.

True love transforms over time, grows, and always manifests itself in something else.

What matters is not what you see on my body, but what happens in my soul.
""
Sometimes we suffer defeat, but we cannot avoid defeat anyway. Therefore, it is still much better to lose a few battles in the fight for our dreams than to suffer defeat without even knowing why we fought.

Everything that happens once may never happen again. But anything that happens twice is sure to happen a third time.

Intuition is the rapid immersion of the soul in the universal current of life, in which the history of each person is mutually connected with that of another, and we can know about everything because everything is written.

Zahir in Arabic means: visible, present, something that cannot be overlooked. Something or someone, once we come in contact with it, slowly overwhelms our mind until eventually we can't think of anything else. It can be holiness or madness.

Be cheerful! Reprogram yourself every minute of the day: fill yourself with thoughts that make you do more! If you are upset or confused, try to laugh at yourself. Laugh out loud, laugh at the woman who worries, suffers and thinks that there is nothing more important in the world than her problems.
""
When you get tired of being someone you're not, you'll finally be able to enjoy life. Over time, you will realize that this not only brings you joy, but also gives something much deeper: meaning to your life.

God gives us a moment every day to change everything that makes us unhappy. And we pretend every day that we don't notice this moment, as if it doesn't exist, as if today is the same as yesterday and is no different from tomorrow. But those who are on the lookout will notice the magical moment. It can surprise us at any time: in the morning, when we put the key in the lock, or in the silence after lunch, and at any minute of the day that does not seem different from the rest. Because this moment exists, and at this moment all the power of the stars will flow into us, and with their help we will be able to perform miracles.
""
Love is more connected to the absence of the other than to being together.
""
Love is not in the other person, but in us. We wake it up in ourselves. But in order to wake us up, we need the other.
""
Love never prevents a person from going through his Personal History. If it happens like this, it is not true love, not the kind that speaks in the Language of the World.
""
The sand dunes change with the wind, but the desert stays the same. It will be the same with our love. (...) If I have to be part of your story, you will return one day.
""
We've all sobbed and said something like this: it's not worth it to suffer so much for this love. We suffer because we feel that we give more than we receive. We suffer because they do not recognize the weight of our love. We suffer because we cannot get the other to accept our rules. We always find something to suffer for, when in fact we have no reason to suffer: because in love lies the seed of our growth. (...) He who loves conquers the whole world and is not afraid of losing something. True love is an act of total devotion.
""
Rather, I suffer as I suffered before when those I loved left me. I'd rather lick my wounds like I've done before. I'll think about it for a while, I'll get bitter, and I'll bore my friends to death because I won't be able to talk about anything other than my wife leaving me. Then I try to explain what happened, day and night I just think about every moment we spent together, and in the end I come to the conclusion that it was really wrong with me, with me, who always only tried to give him should be good. Then I will have other women. Every moment I walk down the street, I see someone who might be him. I will suffer from morning to night, from night to morning. This condition can last for weeks, months, or even more than a year. Then one fine day I wake up and realize that he's not on my mind and I'm over it. My heart received a serious wound, but it will heal, and then I will be able to enjoy the beauties of life again. This has happened to me before and will happen again, I'm sure of it.
""
We have to look for love everywhere and accept that we may be sad and disappointed for hours, days, or even weeks. Because the moment we set out to find love, he also sets out to find us. And it changed.
""
I am what anyone else can be if you listen to your heart. I am a person who bows down to the mystery of life, who is open to miracles, who is cheerful and enthusiastic about everything he does.
""
In reality, a love should be possible. He may not find reciprocation immediately, but he can only survive if there is at least a hope - however remote - that we can conquer the beloved being.
""
There is no one who can lie or hide his feelings while looking into the other's eyes. And there is no woman who cannot read the eyes of a man in love. Even when this love seems impossible and comes to the surface in the worst place, at the worst time.

Please break this glass - and free us from our damned prejudices and the stupid mania that everything has to be explained and that we only dare to do what others approve of.

I have felt wounded many times when I lost the men I was in love with. But now I am sure that no one can lose anyone, because no one can own anyone. This is the experience of true freedom: to have the most important thing in the world without owning it.

Love is like a drug. At first you fall into euphoria and completely surrender to the feeling. Then the next day you want more. You haven't become an addict yet, but the feeling is so good that you think you can stay in control of the situation. If you remember your loved one for two minutes, you will forget it for three hours. But then you slowly get used to it and become completely addicted. Then you think about it for three hours and you can only forget it for two minutes. When he's not around, you feel as bad as a junkie who hasn't had his dose. And just as a junkie can steal and humiliate himself to get what he needs, you would do anything for your love.

One never stops dreaming. (...) During our existence, it happens countless times that our dreams are stormy and our desires are unfulfilled, but we need it to continue dreaming, otherwise our soul dies.

The human being (...) can endure a week of thirst, two weeks of hunger, and even endure years without a roof over his head, but he cannot endure loneliness. Of all pain and all suffering, loneliness is the worst.

There is always a person in the world who is waiting for his mate, whether in the desert or in the middle of a big city. And when these people meet and their eyes meet each other, all past and future completely lose their significance, and there is only the moment and the incredible certainty that the same Hand wrote everything under the sun. The Hand that awakens Love, and that for everyone who works, rests and seeks treasure in this world, has also created a soul related to it.
""
The day a person admits true love into his heart, everything that was well arranged will be confused and everything that we thought was right and true will be shaken. So the world becomes real when a person learns to love - until then we only think we know what love is, but we don't have the courage to face its true reality. Love is a wild force. If we try to tame it, it destroys us. If we want to put him in prison, he will make me his slave. If we want to understand it, it lets us down and confuses us.
""
I've learned that waiting is the hardest thing, and I want to get used to it, to know that you're with me even when you're not by my side.

Do something to fill your life with fantasy again. Above us is the sky, which humanity has already explained in so many ways during thousands of years of observations. But now forget everything you've learned about the stars, and they'll turn back into angels, or children, or whatever you want to believe. This won't make you stupid, since it's just a game, but it can make your life richer.

We are all human, born in sin, guilty, scared when happiness is within reach, and would love to punish everyone for our own helplessness, hurt, and unhappiness. Paying for our sins and punishing other sinners - isn't that the beauty itself? Of course.

Better to starve than to be alone. Because when you are alone - and I am not talking about chosen loneliness, but when we are forced to accept that we are alone - it is as if you are no longer part of humanity.

A fool is one who lives in his own world. (...) I want to remain a fool and live my life as I dream, not as others expect.

I don't think anyone can avoid witnessing the things that are most important to them disappear from their lives at a moment's notice. And here I'm not only thinking about people, but also about our ideals and dreams: maybe we can hold on for a day, a week, or even a few years, but in the end we'll still lose the fight, because we're doomed from the start.

Someone who will take care of you even in these hundredths of a second and show you his power.

Never fall in love. Love is poison. When you fall in love with someone, you lose control of your life because your heart and mind belong to someone else. Your life is in danger. You do everything to keep the person you love and lose your sense of danger. This inexplicable and dangerous feeling called love destroys everything that you are and leaves you with who your loved one wants you to be.

There are always two sides to a coin. Those who have been abandoned by the cruel deity called love are also guilty of dwelling on the past and brooding over the fact that they made so many plans unnecessarily. But if they searched their memory further, they would remember the day when that seed sprouted, and they let it grow and even nurtured it until it became such a tree that it could no longer be uprooted.

Our lives are planned in advance, down to the smallest details: we are born, we study, we go to university, we look for a husband, we get married - even if he is the worst husband in the world, lest others say that no one needs us -, then we have children, we grow old and in the evenings we sit on a chair in front of the house to watch the people who pass by, while we pretend that we know everything about life, but we cannot for a moment silence the voice of our heart that repeats: you could try something else.

The most important lesson: learning to love. To love more and more. Because the languages, the prophecies, the countries, and the street where I live, the lampposts, this house, the living room furniture disappear... and my body disappears too.

Despite my mistakes, despite my bad decisions that caused others to suffer, and despite all the moments when I thought he didn't exist.

Let the night take you away sometimes, look at the stars and let the feeling of infinity intoxicate you. The night, with all its darkness, is also a path to enlightenment.

The time will come when we all do the same thing. The children grow up, move to another city or even another country, and we become retired and wash our cars - even if we could afford to have someone else do it for us.

There are people whose tension builds up for years without realizing it, and then all of a sudden something small blows their fuse. Then they say, "Enough. I don't want this anymore."

Fear is contagious, the constant dread that we will never find a partner who will stay by our side for the rest of our lives.

We want our partner to remain forever the exact same person with whom we stood before the altar and exchanged wedding rings. It's like we can stop time. We do not know. You don't have to. Wisdom and experience do not change a person. Time does not change a person. The only thing that changes is love.

Why do we want to live forever? Because we want to spend one more day with the one we love. Because we want to be with the person who deserves our love and who loves us the way we think we deserve. Because living is nothing but loving. Even just loving a pet, such as a dog, can be enough to justify a person's life.

All those who succeed in arousing passion in someone repeat the ritual that was developed in the time of the cavemen: because then courtship was vital to the survival of humanity.
""
Can we learn to love the right man? Of course. Rather, we have a problem with forgetting the inappropriate man who just walked into our lives without knocking because he walked by and saw the door open.
""
Love is not just a feeling: it is an art. And like all art, inspiration is not enough, it also requires a lot of work.
""
Infidelity is in the genes of men. A woman is unfaithful when she doesn't have enough self-esteem and gives a little of her heart along with her body. This is a real crime. Robbery.
""
You don't choose your life: it chooses you. You cannot understand why you get more joy or more sadness. Just accept it and move on. We cannot choose our lives, but we decide what to do with the joys and sorrows we receive.
""
My love is mine and I give it to whoever I want, even if they don't return it. Of course, it would be great if you could reciprocate, but if not, that's okay: I'm patient. I don't give up, I keep digging the hole under me, because I know that there is water at the bottom: life-giving water.
""
Learn something. There are many people who have already given up on life. These people don't get angry, they don't cry, they just wait for time to pass. They didn't ask from life, so life doesn't ask from them anymore. You too are in this danger; act, face life, don't give up on it.
""
Love has never led anyone away from their dreams. Let me be a companion and ally to the man I love. And let him do what he has to do - but next to me.
""
The real enemies (...) are not the opponents who come to test your courage. But the cowards who come to test your weakness.
""
You are loyal because you say what you feel. There is nothing worse than when someone confuses loyalty with accepting every fault without saying a word.
""
It is human nature to want what you want as quickly as possible. What he is afraid of, he wants to get rid of immediately.
""
Miracles are not things that contradict the laws of nature; we only think they are because we do not know the laws of nature.
""
Look for the company of those who are by your side in the hours of joy. Because there is no trace of jealousy or envy in their souls: they are only happy when they see you happy.
""
Only fight those who deserve it. Not with someone who only wants to prolong a war that has already ended with various tricks.
""
Never miss an opportunity to show your love. Especially those you are close to. After all, we are the most careful with them, because we are afraid that they will hurt us.
""
This is how miracles happen. They tear away the veils and change everything, but they do not allow us to see what is behind the veils.
""
To love is to be open to miracles, victories and defeats, everything that happens to us in our life.
""
Worry is a part of life, but never let it overwhelm you and rule over you.
""
Loyalty is a real gem among grains of sand, which can only be seen by those who truly understand what it means.
""
If someone confronts you about ideas or ideals, accept the challenge - because there is no moment in life in which the conflict is not lurking, which sometimes needs to come to light.
""
Pay for hate not with hate, but with justice. The world is not divided into enemies and friends, but into weak and strong.
""
Friendship is like a river: it avoids rocks, adapts to valleys and mountains, sometimes turns into a lake until the hole is full and then it can continue its journey.
""
It's not your friends that everyone stares at, the ones that dazzle you. (...) Those friends of yours who don't wait for things to be decided one way or another so that they decide how to behave. They make decisions with every action they take, even if they know it's risky.
""
They love and respect only those who love and respect themselves. So don't ever try to please everyone, because you'll just lose their respect.
""
Feel free to open the secret chest of your imagination. The courage of one gives encouragement to the other.
""
Some words are elegant, others hurt and destroy, but they are all written with the same letters.
""
Avoid people who talk a lot before they act. (...) Look for those who never said when you made a mistake, "I would have done it differently". Because if they didn't do it the way you did, they can't pass judgment on you.
""
Arrogance overcomplicates words because it believes that intelligence is only the privilege of a select few. Elegance, on the other hand, transforms complex ideas in such a way that everyone can understand them.
""
The door will be opened for those who knock. He who asks knows what he gets. He who gives comfort knows that he will also find comfort.
""
Fate is not fair to anyone. We are all free to decide whether we like or hate what we do. If we love, we can find in our daily activities the same joy felt by those who set out to pursue their dreams.
""
Look for those who try to open one important door: your heart. Who would never invade your soul without your consent. Those who would never use this door to shoot a deadly arrow through it.
""
Do not give up. The last key on the key ring is usually the one that opens the door.
""
The tears speak for themselves, and when we think we've cried them all, they're still flowing, and when we think our life is just a long walk through the Valley of Pain, our tears suddenly dry up. (...) Because we realized that the one who left didn't take the sun with him and didn't leave darkness behind. He's just gone, and every goodbye carries hope.
""
There are those who forget the question, there are those who answer it, and there are those who understand that the only possible way is action: yet all of them face the same obstacles and enjoy the same things.
""
Outer beauty is a manifestation of inner beauty. It becomes visible through the light emanating from people's eyes.
""
People who do good to others don't want to be useful, they want to live an interesting life.
""
Don't want to be useful. You want to be yourself. That's enough and nothing else matters.
""
The sound of the scars is louder than the blade that caused them.
""
He who is never alone does not know himself. And he who does not know himself is afraid of emptiness.
""
Defeat belongs to the brave. Only they can lose with dignity and win with joy.
""
Loneliness is not the absence of Love. Loneliness complements Love. Not the lack of company, but the moment when our soul can finally speak to us freely and help us make decisions about our lives.
""
Don't dwell on the difficult moments and don't let the moments of glory fool you!
""
There are no winners and losers in the cycle: only stations that follow each other. A man's heart will be free when he understands this.
""
What does it mean to be a fool? (...) People used this word interchangeably. For example, certain athletes have been said to be crazy because they want to break a record. And artists are also crazy because they live in constant uncertainty, they never know what tomorrow will bring, and they are not at all like "normal" people.
""
When you repeat a mistake, it's no longer a mistake, it's a decision.
""
The roles are sometimes reversed. Neither party exists without the other, and only the one who has been humiliated can humiliate.
""
Close some doors! Not out of pride, helplessness or arrogance, but simply because they are no longer leading anywhere.
""
The warrior of light (...) knows that he has learned something new in every battle. But most lessons caused him too much suffering. He wasted his time more than once trying to fight their lies. And he suffered many times because of people who did not deserve his love. Winners don't make the same mistake twice. Therefore, the warrior only puts his heart on the line for something worthwhile.
""
We are not judged on the basis of the evil committed, but on the basis of the good not committed.
""
An enemy always betrays our weak side. Which can mean fearing physical pain, but it can also mean a premature sense of victory, or a desire to stop fighting because we find it not worth it.
""
Sometimes we are all overcome by some inexplicable sadness that we cannot control. (...) We realize that the magical moment has passed without us having done anything, and life no longer reveals its wonders to us.
""
I thought about giving up many times, when I felt that God was no longer listening to me, I had to change my direction many times, and at other times I deviated from my path. But despite everything, I came back and moved on because I was convinced that I couldn't live my life any other way. I learned which bridges to cross and which bridges to burn.
""
Worry is an innate human trait, and since we can never overcome it, we must learn to live with it, just like with storms.
""
If you're going through a tough time, remember: you've lost big battles, but you survived and you're here. This is a win. Show your joy, celebrate your ability to move on.
""
Don't listen to others when they say "this way is better" or "that way is easier". God's greatest gift to us is the ability to make decisions independently.
""
We all hear from childhood that what we desire is impossible to achieve. As the years go by, grains of sand of prejudices, fears and sins accumulate in us. Get rid of them! Not tomorrow, not tonight, but right now.
""
Loyalty is never born of violence, fear, uncertainty or intimidation. Loyalty is a decision that only strong souls have the courage to make.
""
We have all encountered rivals in various areas of life, but the most dangerous are those we call our friends.
""
What keeps Love alive is that it changes, not that it stands firm and doesn't face challenges!
""
I could fall in love with you right now, and I would give you everything (...). You're only asking me for music, but I'm much more than I thought, and I'd like to share with someone the many things I've only just understood.
""
The primary target of Bitterness (...) is a person's state of mind. A person who is attacked by the disease loses interest in the world, has no desire for anything, and after a few years becomes completely withdrawn - after having wasted all his energy on surrounding himself with a strong wall in order to make reality the way he wants it to be .
""
The eye is the mirror of the soul and reflects all that is hidden. But in addition to the brilliance that comes from within, the eye also has another role: it also acts as a mirror to the outside. It also reflects the person who looks into it.
""
Joy. This is one of the most important blessings of the Almighty. Being cheerful is a sign that we are on the right path.
""
Dreaming cheers us up because we know we are capable of more than we are doing. Dreaming is risk-free. The only thing that is dangerous is when we want to make our dreams come true.
""
Go neither faster nor slower than your soul. Because it teaches you step by step what you are useful for. You may be involved in a major battle that will help change the course of history. But it could also be that you just smile at someone who happens to be in your way.
""
Nothing in this world is useless in God's eyes. Not even a leaf falling from a tree, or a stray hair, or a trampled insect that got in the way. All existence has a meaning.
""
In solitude, people discover love that might otherwise have come unnoticed. Alone, they understand and are able to honor a love that has ended. They can decide on their own whether it's worth fighting to get him back, or whether it's worth letting everyone go their separate ways. In their solitude, they learn that saying no is not necessarily heartless, and saying yes is not necessarily a virtue.
""
When we discover who we really are, we are also forced to accept that we can go much further than usual. And that scares me. It is better not to risk too much, since we can always refer to "I didn't do what I should have done because they didn't let me". It's more convenient that way. Safer. At the same time, it also means that we renounce our own lives.
""
You have to maintain a kind of disciplined madness, as someone said. He will cry, worry, and get upset just like other people, but he will never forget that his soul is free, and he will rise above difficulties with laughter.
""
When she dreamed of marriage, she always imagined a small country house and a man who was different from her father and who earned just enough to support his family, who were happy just to be with him by the hearth and the fire is burning and they are enjoying the snow-covered mountains together.
""
No one knows what tomorrow will bring, because every day has enough of its own happenings, be they bad or good.
""
When a leaf falls from a tree, do you feel overcome by the cold? The tree says to the leaf: "This is the cycle of life. Maybe you think you're going to die, but in fact you live on in me. I thank you for being alive, because I breathed because of you. I also thank you for loving me, because I was able to give shade to the tired wanderer. Your juice is my juice: we are one."
""
In the cycle of nature, there is neither victory nor defeat. There is only movement.
""
Losing a battle or losing anything we consider our property causes sad moments. But when these moments pass, we discover an unknown power within ourselves that surprises us and inspires respect for ourselves.
""
Defeat is a part of life: we all know that. Only the vanquished know Love. After all, we fight our first battles on the field of love - and usually we lose.
""
Woe to those who have never lost! They will never be victorious in this life either.
""
Unrequited love always carries the hope that one day it will be reciprocated.
""
We are afraid of change because we think we already know our world after all the effort and sacrifice.
""
Difficulty: that's the name of the old tool that serves only to help us define ourselves.
""
Those (...) who believe that adventure is dangerous should just remain in the slavery of everyday life, and they will see that they will die before their time.
""
If we resist the temptation to believe that others can tell us who we are, we can slowly brighten the sun that lies dormant in our souls.
""
You think you are moving towards a point, but the only thing that gives this point its raison d'être is that you love it. Rest for a while, but get up as soon as you can and keep going. Because as soon as he found out that you were moving towards him, he also started towards you.
""
We usually think that we get what we give. But people who love to be loved are just wasting their time. Love is an act of faith, not something in exchange.
""
Life is too short to hide important words in our hearts. Like the word "I love you". But don't expect us to hear the same in return. Let us love because we must love. Otherwise, life loses its meaning and the sun no longer shines.
""
In those moments when loneliness seems to crush everything, the only way to resist is to keep loving persistently.
""
Until someone comes along to give it meaning, Love is just a word.
""
Tomorrow, when the sun rises, let's say to ourselves: I look at this day as if it were the first day of my life. I look at the members of my family with wonder - and with joy, because I discover that they are by my side and silently share with me the love that is talked about so much, but so few understand.
""
As I move towards the future, I am helped along the way by the traces left by my past stumbles.
""
Most people think that just giving is generosity. Yet acceptance is also an act of love. To let them make us happy, which makes the other person happy.
""
Love sometimes gets tired of always being soft spoken. So let it shine in its full light, burn like the sun, and let its wind blow down entire forests.
""
It doesn't matter how you feel: wake up every morning prepared to emit your light.
""
People who only want success usually don't get it, because success is not a goal in itself, but a consequence.
""
Don't want to cut off the road, but walk along it in such a way that the ground becomes firmer and the landscape more beautiful with every action you take.
""
What is success? The feeling of being able to go to bed with peace of mind every day.
""
The great wisdom of life consists in taking under our protection everything that wants to make us its slave.
""
Only he who has been able to appreciate his every step understands his own merits.
""
Loyalty is like a shop full of expensive porcelain vases, the keys of which have been entrusted to us by Love.
""
Forgiveness lifts you above the insults uttered in the heat of battle, since sooner or later time erases them anyway, just as the wind erases footprints in the desert.
""
The real hero is not the one who was born for great deeds, but the one who - through small things - raises a shield around himself out of loyalty.
""
The most horrible of all weapons is the word, which destroys a whole life without leaving a trace of blood, and the wounds it inflicts never heal.
""
Give us to see the wonder of difference in every grain of sand in the desert, and let it give us the strength to accept ourselves as we are! Because just as there are no two identical grains of sand in the whole world, there are no two identical people who think and act alike!
""
As love is a divine condition, loneliness is a human condition. And for those who understand the miracle of life, these two can easily coexist.
""
Elegance is not an external quality, but the part of the soul that is visible to other people.
""
The sunset is also the most beautiful when irregular clouds cover the sky, because that is the only way to show the many colors from which dreams and poems are born.
""
Let's pay attention to what the child we keep in our souls says. Don't be ashamed of it. Let's not let him fear being alone and not listen to him. Let him take control of our lives a little. This child knows that every day is different. Let him feel that we love him again. Let's please him - even if it means we have to do something that we are not used to, and even if it seems stupid in the eyes of others. (...) If we hear the voice of the child living in our soul, our eyes will shine again.
""
There is no one good, said the Lord. No one. Let's not pretend to be good, because that offends God, and accept our faults. And if one day we have to accept the devil's offer, let us remember that the Lord, who is in heaven, also did this to save the soul of his servant Job.
""
Those are the most important human experiences that take you to the ultimate limit. We only learn from them, because they require all our courage. If a master humiliates his servant, or a man humiliates his wife, it is not bravery, but cowardice, revenge for life. These people never dared to look deep into their souls, they never asked where the desire to unleash the wild came from.
""
Whoever - honestly - follows the path of faith, will be able to unite with God and perform miracles.
""
There are places: even though they are destroyed by war, persecution and indifference, they always remain sacred places. There is always someone who feels its absence and rebuilds it.
""
It is worse than hunger, thirst, unemployment, heartache, defeat - than anything - if we feel that no one, no one cares about us.
""
You must have one goal in mind: to get to the top. But as you go up, you can see more and more things, and it doesn't hurt to stop and enjoy the view every once in a while. With every meter conquered, you can see further and further, and you have to use this to discover things that you hadn't noticed before.
""
Don't let other people's opinions guide you when you hear things like "this is nicer" or "that's easier". It will take a lot of your energy and enthusiasm to achieve your goal, so you alone are responsible for it and you need to be confident in your work.
""
It is important to accept our passions and not give up our enthusiasm for our successes: they are part of life and bring joy to the participant.
""
Love changes, love heals. Sometimes, however, it sets a deadly trap and destroys anyone who surrenders completely to it.
""
What is the funniest thing about a person? (...) They always think the other way around: they want to grow up quickly, only to yearn for the lost childhood. They sacrifice their health to make money, then give all their money to be healthy. They yearn for the future so much that they don't care about the present, so they don't experience the present or the future. They live as if they never die and die as if they never lived.
""
Life is a constant risk, and anyone who forgets this is never prepared for the challenges of fate.
""
Love also forms a bridge between points between which a connection seems impossible.
""
It is much more important to discover a church that no one has heard of than to go to Rome and see the Sistine Chapel as a must, with two hundred thousand other tourists shouting in your ear. Of course, go to the Sistine Chapel, but walk the streets, get lost in the alleys, taste the freedom of looking for something you don't even know what it is.
""
Sometimes something drifts into our path, but since our time has not yet come, it continues to stand, it does not touch us, it just brushes us - but it is clear enough for us to understand.
""
Sometimes we are so attached to our lifestyle that we turn down a great opportunity because we don't know how to live with it.
""
Only those who give their bodies the attention they deserve can climb a mountain. You have as much time as life allows, so take it and don't demand what you can't have. If you go too fast, you'll get tired and give up halfway through. If you go too slowly, it can sneak up on you and you'll get lost. Enjoy the landscape, the water of the springs and the fruits, because nature is generous, but move on.
""
The mutual attraction that pushed them towards each other is inexplicable. It is nothing but pristine, pure desire. When desire is still in this pure state, man and woman fall in love with life, living each moment with the deepest reverence.
""
Everyone dreams that one day a man will walk in and see in them the real woman, the sensual woman, the loyal companion, the understanding girlfriend.
""
I need to get to know mediocre loves too, so I can get enough of them. Even this little life experience that I have gained so far has taught me that no one is the master of anything, everything is just an illusion.
""
If I have to be loyal to someone or something, I have to be loyal to myself most of all.
""
Every person is different. And everyone has to do something to keep it that way.
""
We have all the means of communication in the world, but nothing compares to the human gaze.
""
When something undesirable begins to grow in my soul, I ask God to give me the same courage to root it out mercilessly.
""
The most important things in life that make us grow never show their faces.
""
Someone who confidently believes in their attractiveness, in knowing when to say what and when to use their body, is deaf to the "voice of the heart". Because it is only heard by those who are in perfect harmony with the world around them, not by those who think they are the center of the universe.
""
A true master is not the one who teaches the ideal path, but shows his student several paths until he finally finds the one that will lead him to his own destiny. And from that moment on, you cannot help him, as his challenges are individual.
""
It all depends on how you look at things. There are five virtues that if you manage to keep in yourself, you will always be at peace with the world. The first virtue: you can accomplish great things, but never forget that there is a Hand that guides your steps. We call this hand God, and it will always guide you towards His will. The second virtue: sometimes I have to stop writing for a while to sharpen the pencil. This causes the pencil to suffer, but it ends up being sharper. There is pain that you have to be able to bear because it makes you a better person. The third virtue: the pencil always lets us erase what it messed up. He understands that correcting something we did wrong is not necessarily bad - on the contrary: it is important because it keeps us on the path of truth. Fourth virtue: the essence of a pencil is not its wood or its external shape, but the graphite inside. Therefore, always take care of what is happening inside you. Finally, the fifth virtue of the pencil: it always leaves a mark. Know that in life you leave a mark on your actions in the same way, and act with this in mind.
""
A rose dreamed of bees day and night, but in reality not a single one rested on its petals. However, the flower continued to dream. In his long nights, he imagined the sky covered with bees, descending one by one to kiss him. It lasted until the next day, when it opened again in the sunshine. One evening, the moon spoke, who knew the loneliness of the rose: - Aren't you tired of waiting? - Maybe. But I have to keep fighting. - Why? - Because if I don't open up, I wither away. When we feel that loneliness destroys all beauty, the only way to survive is to keep an open mind.
""
If I feel sad, if I feel helpless, if at the moment I feel that nothing will get better, I cannot lose what keeps me alive: hope.
""
I don't know how long this dream will last, but I am determined to live every moment as if it were my last.
""
It's a shame that people only see the difference that separates them from each other. If they looked at each other with more love, they would notice what they have in common, and there would be half as many problems in the world.
""
Perhaps I ponder too much on topics that should not be thought about, but acted upon. But all human actions are sacred and have consequences, and this makes me think more about what I do.
""
In those moments when everything is useless, we can still love without expecting anything in return, change or thanks.
""
You have a personal story to fulfill and that's it. It doesn't matter if others support you, criticize you, look over you or tolerate you: you do what you do because this is your destiny on this earth, it is the source of all your joy.
""
You have to fight for your dreams, but you also have to know that if certain paths turn out to be impassable, it's worth using our energy to find another path.
""
Every person has the right to seek happiness, and by this we mean what makes him happy - and not necessarily what makes others happy.
""
We are always trying to recruit adherents to our universe explanations. We believe that the more we believe in the same thing, the more it will become reality. But it is not true as it is.
""
The whims of man and nature are very similar (...). We build beautiful bridges, nature takes hold and diverts the river's current.
""
Death is our companion, because it is he who gives real meaning to our lives. But in order to see the true face of our death, we must recognize before it all the longings and terrors that the mere mention of its name can awaken in any living being.
""
Of all the ways man has devised to do himself wrong, the worst is love. We often suffer because of someone who doesn't love us, someone who has left us or someone who doesn't want to leave us. If we are single, it is because we do not need anyone, if we are married, we turn marriage into slavery.
""
It would be diabolical injustice to allow true knowledge to be accessible only to educated people - who have time and money for expensive books.
""
Did I want to change my life? I don't think so, but I'm still slowly changing along the way. Did I want to know the mysteries? I think so, but the road teaches me that there are no mysteries, that (...) there is nothing hidden that cannot be revealed.
""
Everyone is chosen who, instead of asking "what am I doing here", chooses to do what fills them with enthusiasm, whatever that is. In every truly enthusiastic work, there is the gate of Paradise, the redeeming love, the decision that leads to God.
""
If a person does not know what kind of people surround him, he will never have friends.
""
- What causes the color of the sky to change when the sun reaches the horizon? - If we tried to find an explanation for everything, we wouldn't have time to live.
""
Everything is here in the present. We are either damned or saved. Or both, alternately, every minute, jumping from one wagon to another, from one parallel world to another.
""
Breathe deeply and ask that all the blessings in the air enter your body and flood all your cells.
""
My roots are ready, but I can only continue to grow with the help of others.
""
I believe that the whole world will be happier if two people, just two people, are happier.
""
There is no person who cannot find the Other Half. At some point in our lives, we all cross the path of our Other Side and recognize him.
""
The power of love is on earth to make us happy, to bring us closer to God and our neighbors.
""
Encounters usually happen when we reach some limit: our soul must die to be reborn.
""
It has happened to many people that the one they loved the most left them, yet they managed to forge happiness out of bitterness.
""
Forgiveness is like a two-lane road: when we forgive someone, we also forgive ourselves.
""
Why should we listen to our hearts? Because where your heart is, there your treasure will be.
""
Passion gives us signs that guide us. It is our job to decipher these signals.
""
This has been the goal of all my searches throughout my life: to let love manifest itself in me without barriers and limits, to fill my empty places, to make me dance, to smile, to give meaning to my life, to protect my son, to connect with the sky, the with men and women and with everyone whom fate throws in my path.
""
I don't know if love will come suddenly - but I know that I am open to it. I am ready.
""
Yes, this is love. This turns the prey into a hawk, the hawk into a man, and the man into the desert again. And this causes the lead to turn into gold, and the gold to hide again underground.
""
The search for happiness is an individual thing, there is no model for it that we can pass on to others.
""
It's not a sin to be happy. Half a dozen exercises and attentive listening are enough to make one's most impossible dreams come true.
""
I've walked countless miles to discover things I already knew, we all know, it's just so hard to accept.
""
We know what we want and we can achieve it if we are persistent, but the time it takes to reach the goal depends on God's help.
""
Man is the only creature in nature that is aware that he will die. Even though he knows that his days are numbered and that everything will end when he least expects it, he fights the battles of his life as if he is worthy of eternal existence.
""
Love is the true experience of freedom, (...) no one can own another person.
""
- I get more than I deserve for my favor. (...) - Never say that. Life will hear you and give you less next time.
""
Listen to your heart. It knows everything, because it came from the World Spirit, and it will return there one day.
""
We can only accept a truth if we first deny it from the bottom of our hearts.
""
See this anise liqueur? (...) Well, you see only an anise liqueur. I, on the other hand, since I must put my whole soul into my work, I see the plant from which it is made, I see the storms that tore this plant, the hands that gathered the seeds, I see how it traveled from another continent to this in a ship, and I see how - before it got into the alcohol - it left its colorful and fragrant mark on all those who touched it.
""
I am not a body that has a soul, but a soul that has a visible part called a body.
""
We can never judge the lives of others. Everyone knows only their own pains and resignations. You may feel that you are on the right path, but never think that it is the only right path.
""
What a waste of time it was to waste time in one place and try at all costs to put down roots in a soil in which nothing grows anymore.
""
God created us for happiness, so we have to accept that if we are sad, we have only ourselves to thank for it.
""
Follow your dreams, change your life and step onto God's path. Do miracles. Heal me. Prophesy. Listen to your guardian angel. Change yourself. Be a warrior and fight happily.
""
I am no longer the person who dreams of becoming this or that: I simply am.
""
Half an hour passes, for half an hour I believe in the story I just made up, then I remember that it's all just a dream.

If God wants to make someone crazy, he will fulfill all his desires.
""
It is foolish to think that we can possess the other - whoever thinks this is possible is fooling himself. Nevertheless, you cannot suppress the idea of jealousy or philosophize objectively about it. And you can't think that it's a sign of weakness either.
""
Those who love do not necessarily need sexual intercourse to feel good.
""
Encounters are waiting for us, but most of the time we don't let them come true.
""
There are some things that cannot be shared. We should not be afraid of the oceans in which we dive of our own free will. Fear ruins the game.
""
The man is only looking for adventure anyway, always the new - in fact, he is still a hunting caveman, driven by his instinct to preserve the species.
""
A woman always knows that a man means a lot to her. Are men also able to judge this?
""
I think we always fall in love at first sight with the man of our dreams, even though our mind tells us that we are making a mistake. And we start to fight their instincts, but we don't really want to defeat them. Then suddenly the moment comes when we surrender to our feelings.
""
He needed time to think, to be alone for a bit, to store the memory of the previous night well in himself - so that he could retrieve it later whenever he wanted to feel alive.
""
I'm not sure if he'll come back (...), but for the first time in my life it doesn't matter. It is enough that I love that I am with him in my thoughts and that his steps, words and kindness color this city.
""
We never know what life has in store for us, and it's good to know where the emergency exit is.
""
I can't accept him leaving like this, without saying goodbye or explaining. We were both proud of having the courage to face life's difficulties together. We suffered rather, but we never lied to each other. (...) I know that he changed a lot when he met her (...), but that should not be a reason to break up a marriage that has been working for ten years! Even if he had slept with her, even if he was in love with her, how could he not have weighed all that we had experienced together, that we had discovered together? How is it possible that he embarks on an adventure without thinking, from which he might not come back?
""
So I opened the window, and with it my heart. The room was flooded with sunlight and my heart was flooded with love.
""
The life-giving drops of the water of love will not quench anyone's thirst. So accept the love of others.
""
We have to fight for our dreams, we have to focus and make efforts to achieve the goal. But let's not forget that life is made up of small joys. Which we were given to encourage.
""
Everything has its own significance. A person who lives life with passion... enjoys every minute of it.
""
If we want to improve in life, we need to understand the difference between "good" and "better".
""
Only now did he realize that he had been waiting for her for days. And at this moment, he simultaneously accepted everything that fate assigned to him. He didn't complain, he was rather happy that he could afford this luxury, because (...) he knows that this love has no future, but since he doesn't expect anything from her, he can only win with it.
""
The holidays are over. But the boy didn't come. And so a whole terrible week passed until he finally learned from his classmates that he had left town. (...) At that moment, he understood that certain things are lost forever.
""
He was terrified. He began to realize that after all this self-control, the volcano of his soul had suddenly signaled that it was about to erupt, and the moment it did, he would lose all control over his emotions.
""
We all have the opportunity to be redeemed, but for this we must find those against whom we have sinned and ask for their forgiveness.
""
The past and the future live only in our memory. But the present moment is beyond time: Eternity itself.
""
I love you like the river that understands that in the waterfall it must flow differently, and in the valley it must rest. I love you because we were all born in the same place, in the same spring that always feeds us with more water. Therefore, if we are weak, we have no choice but to wait a little.
""
We feel guilty when we leave home, leaving our children behind to earn a living. We feel guilty when we stay at home because we don't seem to be taking advantage of the freedom of the world. We feel guilty about everything, even though we are not guilty.
""
And just as he needs her, she needs him. This is the wisdom of the Other Parties: they always recognize each other.
""
When it's all over, there's nothing left but love that moves the sky, the stars, the people, the flowers, the bugs, and makes everyone walk on ice, and fills me with joy and fear at the same time, but what the bottom line: it gives meaning to everything.
""
I was convinced that I could only be happy with him, but not because I loved him more than anything else on this earth. But because I thought that only he understood me, that he knew my habits, my manias, my world view. I was grateful for what he had done for me, and I felt that he should be grateful for what I had done for him. I'm used to seeing the world through his eyes.
""
I want to believe that being free is a great thing. They are free again. Ready to find the love of my life, the one who is waiting for me.
""
I can't be as good as I want to be, but I'm not as bad as I should be either.
""
Remember what I said on the ship: someone will light the holy fire for you. (...) Bitterness will disappear sooner or later, someone whom fate throws in your path will finally arrive with a bouquet of happiness in their hands, and everything will be fine.
""
I know many people who try to help others just so they don't have to face their own problems.
""
The most sophisticated things in the world are those that are available to everyone.
""
Life is a dream from which we only wake up when we die. As long as we live, time passes. (...) I have no heart, no body, no soul, nothing! I only have pure love, (...) which wants to show itself, but there is no time and space where it can show itself.
""
The same questions preoccupy me, the same fatigue torments me, the same fears, our selfishness and our generosity. I'm not a stranger, because when I needed it, I got it. When I knocked, the door opened. When I looked for it, I found it.
""
In the souls of all of us, there is a non-stop battle between Good and Evil. Angels and devils may be clashing at any moment. Perhaps their war has been going on for thousands of years, and they conquer ever larger territories from each other, until finally one of them destroys the other.
""
We don't look at who we take revenge on, we shoot indiscriminately and blindly. But our desire for revenge never subsides because it is actually directed against our own lives.
""
Life always treated him unfairly. (...) Every day was filled with anticipation. Every night he hoped that someone would come and recognize his true values.
""
People want change, but they also want everything to stay the same.
""
Those who seek their dreams are inspired by what they do, not by imagining what they would do.
""
"I forgive you" can only be said by someone who can also say "I love you".
""
All of our lives consist of victories and defeats - except, of course, cowards, (...) because they never win and never lose.
""
Without any explanation, I can finally forgive myself, and that gives me relief... I don't understand what I'm looking for here, nor why you asked me to accompany you, but you confirmed in me what I already felt: people meet when they need to meet.
""
I love you like a river that starts lonely and weak on the mountain, then begins to grow, joins other rivers, and finally there is no obstacle that it cannot overcome to get to where it wants to go. So I accept your love and give you mine. (...) A love that has no name, no explanation, just as the river cannot explain why it goes exactly where it goes, it just flows forward. A love that doesn't ask for anything and doesn't give anything in return, it just is. I'll never be yours, you'll never be mine, but I can still say I love you.
""
True wisdom is honoring our simple actions, as they take us where we need to go.
""
I look at the frozen water of the fountain and know that someday it will flow again, then it will freeze again, and later it will flow again. It is the same with our heart: it also obeys time and never stands still.
""
Thank you... Even if you think it's unnecessary. (...) I carry hundreds of injuries inside me, while I have to pretend that I am the happiest person in the world. At least today I felt that someone was holding my hand and saying: you are not alone. (...) I felt loved, useful, important.
""
The only way to solve this problem is to correct the mistakes and move past the conflicts. (...) We meet and part for an eternity. The past is followed by a return, and the return is always another past.
""
I chose to travel when I realized that my life was no longer like a river trying to reach the sea. I made this decision because everything around me threatened to stop and stagnate. (...) Every day, everyone experiences that they are reaching new and new turning points in their lives.
""
Can one stop love in time? (...) We can try, but we will make our lives hell. I have not been married to the same person for more than twenty years. (...) Neither he nor I are the same anymore, and that is why our relationship is more alive than it has ever been. I don't expect him to act the same way he did when I met him. And he doesn't expect me to be the same person he first met. Love is beyond time. Or to put it better: love is time and space compressed into a single point (...) which is constantly changing.
""
Two people can live a whole life together, work together, or meet only once, and then be separated forever, just because they haven't passed the point where the thing that connected them in this world flows uncontrollably. In other words, they part without understanding what brought them together. (...) Those who once knew love meet again.
""
When a person is away from his usual world, he tends to behave like an adventurer, as he leaves the usual barriers and prejudices behind him for a while.
""
My soul is dying of something that is very difficult to diagnose and even more difficult to cure.
""
Déjà vu (...) is more than a quick-to-forget realization, since we never pay attention to something that doesn't make sense. It shows us that time does not pass. In fact, a jump to somewhere we've actually been before, and which is now being repeated.
""
You don't necessarily have to climb the mountain to see how high it is.

We all dream of what could happen, and I'm sure no one wonders what they've left behind, but what they'll find next.
""
A man in need of money asks his master to help him. The farmer puts him to the test: if he spends the whole night in the mountains, he will receive a great reward. (...) He asks his best friend, Aydi, if it is not crazy to enter such a bet. - I'll help you. Tomorrow, when you're up on the mountain, look ahead. I will be there on top of the neighboring mountain, I will spend the whole night there with a bonfire lit for you. Just look at the fire, think about our friendship, and that will keep you warm. It will work, see, and then I'll ask for something in return. Ali passed the test, took the money and went to his friend. - You said you wanted payment... - Yes, but not money. Promise me that once the cold wind blows through my life, you will light the fire of friendship for me.
""
You're traveling now, but at the same time you haven't even left your home. As long as we're together, it stays that way, because you have someone you know next to you, and it gives you the false illusion that everything is familiar. So it's time to move on alone. (...) No two leaves are alike in a forest of a hundred thousand trees. Perhaps no two trips are the same.
""
I treat you with more tenderness every day. I admire the ease with which you alternate between the woman and the little girl. You are like the bow that glides effortlessly over the strings of a violin, drawing a divine melody from them.
""
We are like clouds that meet in the sky and you can no longer tell where one ends and the other begins.
""
Time is not a tape that you can rewind back and forth. (...) The time is here. Use it.
""
My path is reflected in the eyes of others, and if I want to find myself, I need that compass.
""
You think you exist because you are unhappy. Some people only exist in the mirror of their problems and compulsively, constantly talk about them. (...) They don't stop to feel: I'm here.
""
By doing something that seems absurd, you touch something deep in your soul, the most ancient part of you, the one closest to your origin.
""
I'm not a kid who needs to win at all costs. (...) Don't let me win in a way that I don't deserve and don't feel the joy of being the best.
""
The Way of Peace is like a river, and because it resists nothing, it conquers before it begins anything. The art of peace is invincible, because it fights nothing but itself. Conquer yourself and conquer the world.
""
We measure time in the same way as we measure distance. (...) But this is wrong. Time neither moves nor stands still. Time is changing.
""
When dissatisfaction persists, there is a reason. It means (...) that we have to change something, we have to move on.
""
To think oneself inferior to other people is one of the most depraved forms of arrogance - because it is the most destructive way to differentiate oneself from others.
""
Only two things can reveal the great secrets of life: suffering and love.
""
I am the result of everything that has happened and will happen. (...) If I messed something up, I can fix it, or at least apologize for it. If I have done something well, it makes me happier and connects me even more to the present.
""
I had to go far to understand what is near. (...) This is what makes life exciting: that we believe in treasures and miracles.
""
It takes a serious effort to get rid of our memory, but when we do, we begin to realize that we are capable of much more than we think. We live here, in this giant body (...), which contains all solutions and all problems. Visit your soul, not your past.
""
"Where have you been" is more than a simple question. Whoever asks this also says: "I missed you", "I wanted to be with you".
""
The moments before the dream resemble the image of death. A daze overwhelms you, and it is impossible to determine when the "ME" begins to exist in another form. Our dreams are our second life.
""
The one you met will reappear, the one you let go will return. Don't waste the grace you have received.
""
He thought of the greatness of true sages. For sages who spent their whole lives looking for an answer that doesn't exist, and when they understood it, they didn't fabricate false explanations.
""
You got on your way. Few people have the courage to do it. They prefer to follow a path that is not theirs. Each of them has their own gift, but he does not want to notice it.
""
You know who thinks they can do it all? The child. He trusts himself, feels no fear, believes in his own power and gets what he wants. But the child is growing. And he begins to understand that he is not so powerful and that his existence depends on others. Then he loves and expects his love to be reciprocated, and his desire grows as time goes on. (...) And finally he gets to where we are now: he becomes an adult who would do anything to be accepted and loved.
""
Those who live only from their experiences always repeat the old answers to new problems.
""
- I have caused many men to suffer, and I have suffered a lot... The light of love flows from my soul, but then it no longer radiates: pain blocks its path. (...) - What hurts us heals us.
""
I get two reactions from very persistent people. I either leave them immediately, or I let them completely mesmerize me.
""
The here and now includes everything you have ever experienced and will experience. The world is created and destroyed in the present moment.
""
The brave is the one who dares to make a decision despite his fears. Who is harassed by the devil at every step, and who is tormented by perpetual uncertainty as to whether what he does is right.
""
The only meaning of life is love. If you can't find someone, you can't say you've made your dreams come true.
""
Being human means that we have our doubts and still continue our journey.
""
We surrender ourselves completely to each moment, knowing that there is always a Hand that guides us: it is up to us whether we accept it or not.
""
At that moment (...) he understood that love is very colorful: it's like a thousand rainbows shining on each other. "How many things have I missed out on just because I was afraid of losing him," he thought as he looked at the rainbow.
""
Everything in this world is sacred. A single grain of sand can be a bridge in the invisible.
""
People are masters of their own destiny. They can always make the same mistakes. They can always run from what they want, what life so generously puts in front of them.
""
Every city has a "magical place", a place where we go when we want to think seriously about life.
""
We're not looking. We accept. And then life will be much more intense and brilliant, because we understand that every step we take, in every moment of life, is more important than ourselves.
""
All human contact with the world is through the five senses. (...) It doesn't matter whether you're looking for wisdom or pleasure in the power of sex: the experience will always be complete either way. Because this is the only human activity that affects - or at least should affect - all five senses at the same time.
""
Troubles of the heart always hurt the soul. (...) Love has not changed much over the centuries.
""
Only the present has power over our lives. (...) When you cast your lot, you bring the future into the present. And this can have serious consequences: the present can disrupt the future.
""
I can only understand the simple things if I first get to know the complicated ones.
""
I discovered what makes me happy and what makes me sad. And suddenly I understood that I had to change my attitude. But it's hard.

The candle is a symbol of the four elements, as it contains the earth of the wick, the water of the paraffin, the fire of the flame and the air that allows it to burn.
""
No wish is in vain and no request is useless. Everyone knows what feeds their soul.
""
People (...) start on certain paths only to find out that they are not for them. (...) This is the law of life. No one can escape from this (...), even if they never make a decision, even if they don't have the courage to change anything - because this is a decision, a change in itself.
""
Everyone believes that they will be rewarded for their efforts and that one day they will understand everything that happened along the way.
""
We may never meet again. I want you to know that I have loved you all my life. I loved you even before I met you. You are part of me. I'm going to die. (...) Tomorrow is as suitable for death as any other day.
""
Soldiers (...) know that they can die at any moment, and therefore life is a constant celebration for them.
""
The good are good, the bad are bad, and there is no force in the Universe that can change that.
""
Not only do we share, but we also meet again and again. And this encounter is called Love. Because when a soul splits, it always becomes a female and a male soul.
""
He doesn't understand why so many people spend their whole lives tearing down roads they don't want to walk down instead of walking the one road that will lead them somewhere.
""
He realized that there is a big difference between danger and fear. "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High..." - this is how the psalm began. (...) He kept saying it for a while, without stopping, and despite his fear, he became calmer. At that moment, he had no choice: either believe in God and his Guardian Angel, or despair.
""
He had many loves, all of them he thought he loved, but there was always a moment when the love was gone from one minute to the next. Of all the things he knew, love was the most complicated. Now she was in love with a boy older than her. (...) He believed in love again, he relied on his feelings, but he was so disappointed that he was no longer sure of anything. Nevertheless, he still considered it the great treasure of his life.
""
Lots of cards... but they're part of the same deck. To understand their message, we need all of them, all of them are equally important. So is the soul. People are all interconnected, just like the cards in a deck of cards.
""
I give up everything I start - he thought with some bitterness. Maybe soon life will notice this and will not give him more opportunities. Or maybe if you always give up right at the beginning, you'll run out of ways before you've even taken a step.

We study what we see, but what we see is not always what really exists.
""
It has happened many times that if I acted recklessly towards someone, I distanced myself from others whom I loved.
""
When we start out on the road, we always have a more or less definite goal that we usually want to achieve. (...) To learn something means to come into contact with a world about which we have not the faintest idea. Learning requires humility.
""
No one can own a sunset that we saw together once. (...) No one can own the most beautiful thing on Earth - but they can get to know and love it.
""
I will always remember that love is freedom. This is the lesson I finally learned after so many years. This is the lesson that exiled me, and this is the lesson that now sets me free.
""
He wasn't afraid of difficulties: he was afraid of having to choose a path. And if one path must be chosen, then the rest must be left there. And before that, his whole life was still there, and he always thought that he might later regret everything he wanted to do now. "I don't dare commit because I'm afraid I'll make the wrong decision," he thought. He wanted to go through every possible path, but that's why in the end he didn't go through any of them.
""
You will never be mine and therefore you will always be mine. You were my hope in my lonely days, in my hours of doubt and in my moments of faith. Because I knew that one day my Other Half would come. (...) I continued to exist only because I was sure of your existence.
""
The easiest way to destroy the bridge between the visible and the invisible is to try to explain emotions.
""
Her female instinct told her, (...) if two men are in love with the same woman, it is better to hate each other than to be friends. Because in the latter case you lose both.
""
Never let doubt paralyze you. Make whatever decision you need to make, even if you're not sure it's the right one.
""
People give each other flowers because flowers contain the true meaning of Love. Whoever tries to possess it sees how its beauty withers.
""
The road to love is very difficult. (...) Because this road will either fly you to heaven or push you to hell.
""
Love is neither big nor small; simply love. A feeling cannot be measured like a road section. Those who do this begin to make comparisons with what they hear from others, or with what they imagine should happen to them. That way, he'll always be chasing a story instead of going his own way.
""
Before I closed my eyes for good, I heard my mother's voice. He told me a story that he had told me many times when I was a child, but I had no idea it was about me. "A boy and a girl fell madly in love with each other," I heard my mother's voice on the verge of dream and delusion. "They decided to get engaged. Betrothed always give each other gifts, but the boy was poor: all he had was the watch he inherited from his grandfather. He thought of his beloved's beautiful hair and decided to sell the watch so that he could buy a a beautiful silver hair clip. The girl had no money for a gift either. So she went to the biggest merchant in the village and sold her hair. And with the price she bought a gold chain for her lover's watch. When they met, on the day of the engagement, the girl gave the boy the chain for the watch, which it was sold, and the boy gave the girl the hairpin, which had no place to fasten it."
""
There is a difference between having something and giving it up, and having nothing and condemning those who have.
""
It is often easier to love than to be loved. Our attempts to appear independent deprive others of the opportunity to show their love.
""
If you want something, always remember one thing: no one can achieve his chosen goal if he does not see it.
""
I have to change, I have to follow my dream, a dream that seems childish, ridiculous, unachievable, that I have always wanted, but I didn't have the courage to make it happen.
""
Thank you for giving meaning to my life. I came into the world to experience all that I experienced (...), to meet you, to climb this hill, and to engrave the memory of my face in your soul. I came into the world for this alone: to guide you back to the path from which you have strayed. And don't want me to feel like my life was useless.
""
Love is an expression of faith in another person, which must always be surrounded by mystery. Every minute should be lived and enjoyed, but if we try to understand it, the magic disappears.
""
A true sage can kindle the fire or put it out as often as he likes. But if he doesn't teach anyone how to light a fire, he's certainly driven by a goal to turn everyone over to the darkness.

If you dwell too much on what is good or bad in your fellow man, you forget your own soul, and the energy you have wasted on judging others exhausts and defeats you.

If you want to see the rainbow, you must learn to love the rain.

It's natural to be afraid of trading everything you've achieved for a mere dream.

The east wind became so strong that he could feel it on his face. (...) He envied the freedom of the wind and realized that he too could get the freedom for himself. There is no obstacle to this, only himself.

I love you because the whole universe came together to reach you.

Determination is just the beginning. As soon as a person makes a decision, he is caught by a strong current and carried to a place that he did not even think of at the moment of the decision.
""
And happiness can be found in an eye of sand. (...) Only a few people walk the path for which it is marked, which is the path of personal history and happiness. To the rest of us, the world seems terrifying, and therefore it becomes truly terrifying. The heart then sounds more and more softly, but it never stops completely.
""
Any thing on this earth can express anything that exists. If someone were to open any page of a book, or read from a palm, a card, the flight of birds or anything else, they could find a connection with what they are currently experiencing.

Believe in your heart (...), but don't forget, (...) no one can escape the consequences of anything that happens on this earth.

One cannot ask certain things in order not to escape one's own destiny.

In magic - and in life - there is only the present moment, the NOW. Time is not measured in the same way as the distance between two points. "Time" does not pass.

I understood a long time ago that if I want to heal my wounds, I must first face them bravely. And I learned to forgive myself and make amends for my mistakes. But since I've been traveling, I feel like I'm standing in front of a giant puzzle, the pieces of which are slowly coming together: love, hate, self-sacrifice, forgiveness, joy, unhappiness.

We must be prepared for the enemy's attacks, we must be able to look death in the eye, and then it will light our way.

It's so easy to die. Although the human body is one of the best designed mechanisms in creation, all it takes is a small lead bullet that hits at a certain speed, does a little damage here and there, and that's it.

Death: according to the dictionary, the end of life (although, in fact, life is also something that requires a precise definition). Permanent cessation of the body's vital functions - this includes brain function, breathing, blood circulation and heart function.

People get lost in the desert because they let mirages lead them astray.

Life is also harmful to health. (...) Sooner or later everyone dies of it.

If we know the person's name, we are also aware that we are dealing with a real, flesh-and-blood person, not some abstract enemy. Through the name, the person becomes a unique, exceptional individual, who has a past and a future, ancestors and possible descendants, victories and defeats. A person is his name, he is proud of it, repeats it several times throughout his life and identifies with it.

The man loves the woman. The man loses the woman. The man gets the woman back. Ninety percent of films vary this scheme. A movie that doesn't follow this rule has to use a lot of violence or special effects to win over the audience.

We were born in the age of rebellion. We dedicated everything to him, we were enthusiastic, we risked our lives and our youth, and now we suddenly stop: the initial enthusiasm gives way to real challenges: fatigue, boredom, doubting our own abilities. We are forced to face loneliness, the unknown, unexpected surprises, and when we fall many times without anyone helping us to get up, we ask ourselves if it is really worth suffering so much. (...) It is worth continuing. And we will continue, even if we know that our soul, although eternal, is at this moment a prisoner of the web of time, with its possibilities and limitations.
""
Love is something that grows for a while, then when it reaches a certain size, from then on you just have to keep it alive like a plant, watering it occasionally and cutting off the withered leaves. (...) This "love" can be translated into a smile, words like "I love you".

In my imaginary world (...) he was still my companion and his love gave me strength to go further, to expand my limits. In reality, however, it was my obsession. It drained all my energy, pushed everything out of my mind, and forced me to continue my life and work with great effort.

How is it possible that even after two years I can't forget? I can't stand thinking about him all the time, analyzing all our scenes, considering all possibilities, I try to escape from him, get used to the situation, write a book, do yoga, do charity, visit my friends, seduce women, go to dinners, go to the cinema.

I believe that if someone has little left in their life and spends that little time sitting next to a bed and staring at a sleeping man, that's love.

Love forced him to meet expectations at all costs, even if it meant sacrificing his own dreams. (...) He didn't take into account that one day he would wake up to the harsh reality, and then he wouldn't know how to protect himself, he would be defenseless and vulnerable.

I have the woman I love next to me, but I can't always appreciate this, and in such cases I ask myself: "what could be wrong with me?"

I could see in his eyes that he had already imagined this moment many times: what would be around us, what my hair would be like, what color clothes I would be wearing. I wanted to say "yes", that I wouldn't refuse, and that my heart had won the war. I wanted to tell you how much I love you and how much I want you.

When I banished the Other from me, my heart finally began to speak again. He said that the flood had broken through the dam, that the wind was howling from all directions, and that he was happy that I was listening to him again.

Openness is usually met with a kind of suspicion. (...) Our distance ensures the illusion of our importance and self-confidence.

When a person is suffering, it is better to accept that he is suffering, because the suffering will not go away if he is not aware of it.
""
When you're far away, I want you to be close. (...) But what about when we are together? We fight, we argue about stupid things, we want to change each other, we want the other to see the world in the same way as we do. You expect things from me that make no sense, and I do the same to you. Sometimes we secretly say to ourselves: "but it would be nice if I were free and not committed". (...) And that's when I feel lost.

The problem is not with us, but with the way we express our love to each other. If we accepted that problems exist, we could live with those problems and be happy.

You still carry that little boy who was the weakest in school and who hid from his parents to cry it out. Deep down, you're still that fragile little boy who couldn't get a girlfriend and who was never good at any sports. You cannot forget your wounds, which were inflicted on you by old grievances and injustices. But if you don't let them heal, it won't do you any good.

I want to know if you love me like I love you. But I don't have the courage.

I suffered so much, my heart bled so much during those thousand and one nights when I woke up and waited for the key to jingle in the lock, for him to enter the room (...), lie down next to me and not say a word. I vowed that if this actually happened, I wouldn't ask anything, I'd just kiss her, tell her "sweet dreams, my love" and we'd wake up together the next day, holding hands, as if this nightmare never happened.

There are stories that are interrupted. These stories are more present than the others, and until we close them, we cannot move on. (...) That is why it is so important to let certain things go.

To reveal means to lift up for a moment and then drop a veil back. To lift the veil on something that no longer exists.

He taught me to love myself first so that I could love him. He made me realize that my heart is primarily meant to serve me (...), not to serve others.

Important things always remain - things that pass away are things that we consider important, but are actually useless.

When I had nothing to lose, I had everything to gain. When I rejected who I was, I found myself. When I knew humiliation and still continued on my path, I understood that I was free to choose my destiny. I don't know (...) whether my marriage was just a dream that I failed to understand while it lasted. I know I can live without him, but I want to meet him one more time - to tell him what I never said while we were together: I love you more than myself. If I told him this, I could go on in peace - because this love redeemed me.

True Love lets everyone go their own way - because it knows that this does not separate the Parties from each other.

Brida thought about how many times she was tormented by passion, how many and how many nights she tossed and turned without sleep, waiting for a phone call that never came, how many romantic weekends she spent without a continuation the following week, how many times she looked around with a worried look at parties, how many times he was happy with a conquest that increased his self-confidence, how many times he was tormented by loneliness when he believed that the son of one or another girlfriend was the only one in the world who could make him happy. It was all part of his world - and the world of everyone he knew. This was love, and this is how people have searched for their Other Side since the beginning of time: by looking into each other's eyes, looking for luster and desire.

I've waited for you in many ways... I've waited for you like the distraught wife who knows that her husband has never understood her every move and will never come after her, and so I have to get on the plane and go back, only to come out again from the next crisis. run away, then go back, and run away again, then back again. (...) I waited for you as Penelope waited for Odysseus, as Romeo waited for Juliet, as Beatrice waited for Dante to redeem her. The emptiness of the steppe was populated by my memories, the moments we spent together, the countries we visited together, our joys, our quarrels. But when I looked back, I only saw my own footsteps, you were nowhere.

We are all cathedrals, no doubt about it. But what about my spacious interior? Esther, the Zahir. It fills everything. He is the only meaning of my life, (...) and I understand why I faced the snow, the traffic jam, the icy highway: to remind me that I have to rebuild myself every day, and to - for the first time in my life - accept that there is a being, whom I love more than myself.

- We built our lives together. I love my husband and he loves me too, although he is not exactly the most faithful husband. - This is the first time you talk about this. - Because it doesn't matter. What is loyalty? The feeling that I can possess a body and a soul that are not mine?

I had to do things that I would not have done otherwise and that I will never do again, I had to endure many wounds in my body and soul, and I had to hurt others, from whom I later apologized - when I realized that I could do anything, but not to force the other to follow me in my madness, in my insatiable thirst for life.

I fought for the love of my first, second and third wife. I fought to have the courage to divorce the first, the second and the third, because love did not survive the storms of life, and I had to continue the search for the person who came into the world to find me.

The world has never been so divided as it is now: religious wars, genocides, the destruction of the planet, economic crises, depression, poverty. And everyone expects immediate solutions to at least some problems in the world or in their own lives. But as we move into the future, things look increasingly bleak.

I've always been looking for my limits, and to this day I haven't been able to find them. But my universe doesn't even help me in this, because it keeps growing and doesn't allow me to know it completely.

It is immeasurably difficult for a person to focus on the present: he is always wondering what he did, how he could have done it better, what the consequences of his actions were, and why he did not act the way he should have acted. Or you are preoccupied with the future, what you will do tomorrow, what precautions you should take, what danger lurks around the corner, how to avoid inconveniences and how to achieve what you have always dreamed of.
""
It is not what you did in the past that affects the present, but what you do in the present that makes good the past and changes the future.

When a person is on the road for a long time, hears a language that he does not understand, uses money that he does not know the value of, walks for a long time on streets he has never been on, slowly realizes that his old self and all that he he learned, he is worthless in the face of new challenges.

Tragedy is a radical change in our lives, which is always connected to the same concept: loss. When some loss befalls us, we try in vain to restore what has already passed. We would do better to take advantage of the huge void thus created and fill it with something new.
""
We try to interpret everything as we see fit and not as it really is.
""
If in this fraction of a second we look back on our life knowing that we missed an opportunity when we could have celebrated the miracle of life - that is Hell. But Paradise is when we can say: "I made mistakes, but I wasn't a coward. I lived my life and did what I had to do."

The warrior's virtue: he understands that will and courage are not the same thing. Courage can command fear and flattery, but willpower requires patience and compromise.

We tend to appreciate more what comes from afar, without realizing how much beauty surrounds us.

Sometimes we too must become strangers to ourselves. Thus the light hidden in our souls illuminates what we need to see.

Life is about gaining experience, not about pondering the meaning of life.

With revenge, we achieve at most that we become equal to our enemies, while with forgiveness we prove to be wiser and more intelligent than them.

Only mediocrity is certain, so take risks and do what you want. Look for people who are not afraid to make mistakes, so of course they will. Therefore, their work is not always recognized.

We were two ice cubes, but we melted in the sun and now we are one and the same pool of water.
""
We have learned in the past, but we are not the fruits of it. We have suffered, loved, cried and smiled in the past. But that has no significance for the present. The present also has its own challenges, good and bad sides. We cannot blame or dwell on the past for what is happening now. Each new love is independent of the previous ones, has nothing to do with past experiences: it is always new.
""
We are not what people want to see us as. We are who we want to be. It's always easy to blame others. You can blame the world all your life, but your successes and failures are your responsibility.

In the same way that the cells of your body are constantly changing and yet you remain the same, time does not pass, it only changes.

We will never, ever lose our loved ones (...). They are with us, they will not disappear from our lives. We're just not in the same room with them.

Love always conquers what we call death. That's why we don't have to mourn our loved ones, because they will still be our loved ones and stay by our side. This is extremely difficult to accept.

Life is training. When we train, we prepare for what lies ahead. Life and death lose their meaning, there is nothing else but challenges, which we gladly accept and overcome calmly.

There is nothing worse in the world than being rejected. Your light meets another person's light, you think the windows are opening and sunlight is pouring in and old wounds are finally healing. And suddenly you realize that nothing comes of what you imagined.

I will be able to love above all unlove, To give even when I am deprived of everything; Work with joy despite all obstacles; To reach out my hand even in the greatest loneliness and desolation; To dry my tears even when I sob; And to believe even if they don't believe in me.

A hug (...) means much more than the contact of two bodies.

The problem with words is that they give us the feeling that we can understand ourselves and understand what the other person is saying. But when we turn around and face our destiny, we realize that they are not enough.

All the love in the world is like a river that flows into the same lake, where they meet each other to transform into one great love that brings blessings to the earth like rain.

As you change your own life, change the lives of those around you. When they ask, don't forget to give. When they knock on your door, open the door for them. When they lose something and come to you, do everything you can to help them find what they lost. But first, ask yourself, knock yourself, and find everything you have lost in your life.

Fear exists until the moment it inevitably occurs. (...) After that, we shouldn't waste any more energy on it.

If you're still alive, it's because you haven't arrived where you need to.

When we feel that the time for changes has come, we start (...) to look back at the film of our life, facing all the failures that befell us until then. Of course, as we get older, the number of our left steps increases proportionally. But at the same time, the experience ensures a better understanding of the defeats that have occurred, and at the same time shows the way to take further steps.

If a decision has to be made, it is better to make it, accepting the consequences. Indeed, we cannot know the consequences themselves in advance.

Everything that could have happened, but didn't, is blown away by the wind without a trace. (...) Life is shaped the way we shape it.

Cowards never allow their hearts to be set on fire (...) by the fire, because they only want the new situation to change back to the way it was as quickly as possible, and they can continue to think in the usual way.

Everyone has the right to doubt his task, and at times he may be swayed from it; just don't forget about it. He who does not doubt himself is unworthy, because he blindly trusts his own abilities and thus falls into the sin of pride.

The Assyrians (...) are battle-hardened soldiers: as soon as they enter the army, they plant a tree, then every day they jump over the place where the seed was planted.

No one can lose sight of what they really want. Even if sometimes it seems that the world and others are stronger. This is the secret: don't be discouraged.

The night is only part of the day. Thus, if sunlight provides protection, darkness can also provide protection. (...) He had to trust him. And this trust is called Faith.

There is nothing better than introducing someone to a world unknown to them. To take her virginity, not her physical virginity, but her spiritual virginity.

All my life I thought that love was a kind of voluntary slavery. This is a lie: there is only freedom when there is love. The one who can completely surrender to the feeling, the one who feels free, truly loves. And those who truly love feel free. (...) In love, no one can hurt the other. We are all responsible for what we feel and can never blame the other for it.

If we combined all the words, they would lose their meaning, or at least make it very difficult to understand: you need the breaks, the white spaces between the words.

Experience now what other people will only experience in the future! What do you want? (...) You want to give meaning to your life, so you want to live it as intensely as possible. It is both a trap and an ecstasy. So stay alert, notice the danger, but experience the joy, the adventure of being the Woman who is beyond your reflection.

The seagull was flying over the shore of the bay when it spotted a mouse. He descended from the sky and asked the rodent: - Where are your wings? Every animal has its own language, and the mouse did not understand what the bird spoke. But he noticed that he had two large, strange things growing out of his body. "He must be sick," thought the mouse. The seagull noticed that the mouse was staring at his wings and said: - Poor spy. Monsters attacked you, deafened you and stole your wings. Trembling, he took the little animal in his beak and took it for a stroll through the skies. "He must have missed you already, let him enjoy it a little," he thought as he flew with it. Then he carefully placed it back on the ground. The mouse was profoundly unhappy for months, as he got to know the height and the sight of a huge, beautiful world unfolded before him. But as time passed, he got used to being his own little mouse again and thought that the miracle he had experienced was nothing more than a beautiful dream.

To surrender completely to love, be it divine or human, means giving up everything - including our own well-being and our ability to make decisions. It means that we love in the deepest sense of the word. In fact, we do not want the kind of redemption that God has in store for us: we want to maintain control over our every move, we want to remain fully aware of our choices, and we want to choose the object of our devotion. Love is not like that: it comes, nests itself, and takes over. Only the strong-hearted trust themselves completely.
""
For me, love fills everything. It cannot be wished for, as it is its own goal. You can't cheat, since it has nothing to do with possession. It cannot be contained, as it is like a river that breaks through dams. He who wants to imprison love must close off the source that feeds it, and the water thus accumulated will soon rot.

Whoever believes that he is ruined will be ruined. Those who have decided that they cannot be someone else will be destroyed by gray everyday life.

The greatest madness of men and women is precisely this: love, love.

You have nothing to lose. Most people cannot afford to love freely because too much is at stake, past and future. But you only have the present.

Most of the people accepted the tragedies of other people's lives as if they really wanted to help - when in fact they really enjoyed the suffering of others, they could feel happy that it didn't happen to them, because life is kind to them.

Suicide is selfish by nature, one thinks of oneself first, and only then of others.

After the very first disappointment, he was never able to give himself completely to the other. He was afraid of suffering, loss, and the inevitable breakup. Of course, these things had always been part of the path of love - so the only way to avoid them was to get off the path in time. In order not to suffer, it was necessary not to love.

Our old age will be the way we live. We may end up like a deserted city, but we may also end up like a huge tree - one that remains significant even when it can no longer stand on its own two feet.

Don't try to convince anyone of anything. If you don't know something, ask or look it up. But when you act, be like the river that flows, quietly, surrendering to the greater energy.

It is enough to understand that we are all here for a purpose, and it is enough to commit ourselves to that purpose. If we do this, we will be able to laugh at our sufferings, big or small, and move forward without fear, in the sure knowledge that every step we take has its own meaning.

Emotions, such as love, do not age with our bodies. Emotions are part of a world I don't know, but in this world there is no time, no space, no boundaries.

We cannot collect Good. The Power of Good is always scattered, like Light. When you pour out the vibrations of Good, it benefits all of humanity.

Certain blessings of God sometimes come crashing into the house.

God manifests himself in everything, but the word is one of his lovely tools for action. Because the word is nothing but the thought transformed into a vibration: you put into the air everything that was just energy until then. Be very careful what you say.

Love is the force that reunites us to condense the experiences gathered in different lives, in different places of the world.

Faith is not desire. Faith is Will. Desire is always waiting to be fulfilled, but Will is power.

Although I tried to accept that there is an invisible reality that can intervene in our lives, the only reason for my efforts was actually the love that I didn't admit to myself, but started to dominate me imperceptibly and overwhelmingly.

We either feel love or we don't, and there is no force that can force it. We can pretend to love. We can get used to the other one.

You are who you believe you are. Don't keep repeating what the followers of "positive thinking" say: "yes, they love me, yes, I am strong, yes, I can do it". You don't have to tell me, because you already know that. (...) Instead of trying to prove that you are better than you think, just laugh. Laugh at your worries, your insecurities.

But he was just like that, and he felt weaker and weaker, more and more unable to change.

The clothes you bought belong to you, are part of you and represent special moments. Moments when you left home with the intention of giving yourself a gift because you were satisfied with the world.

I'm trying to talk to you, but you're tired, let's sleep and we'll talk tomorrow! But tomorrow there are more tasks, another working day, dinners, we sleep and talk the next day. This is what my life consists of: waiting for the day when you will be by my side again, until I don't get tired of it and I don't ask for anything anymore, I create a world for myself to hide in when I need it: not too far away, so that it doesn't seem like like I have an independent life, but not too close so as not to seem like I'm trying to break into your universe.

Pain and love are experiences that stretch the limits of human existence. Only he who knows these limits knows life. Everything else is a waste of time, boring repetition, aging and death, without knowing what one is doing on this earth.

The essence of man's entire earthly existence is the search for the Other Party. It doesn't matter if someone hides behind the pursuit of knowledge, money, or power. Whatever you achieve, it won't be perfect if you don't find your Other Half.

The warrior of light knows that an angel and a devil are arguing over the hand that holds the sword. The devil says: - You are getting weak. You don't recognize the right moment. You are afraid. The angel says: - You are getting weak. You don't recognize the right moment. You are afraid. The warrior is surprised. They both said the same thing. Then the devil continues: - Let me help you. And the angel says: - I will help you. The warrior of light then understands the difference. The words are the same, but the allies are different. And he accepts the angel's hand.

You were never big enough if you were able to give up your dream because of a stranger's opinion.

This is how we lost love. (...) When we started creating rules on how to manifest.

My old loves taught me to know what I want. In order to fully surrender myself, I had to forget the wounds that other men inflicted on me.

The world needs nothing more than examples, people who can live their dreams and fight for their ideas.

There are two types of idiots: one who doesn't do something because he's threatened, and one who does something because he's threatened.

- How do I recognize my Other Half? (...) - At risk (...). Taking the risk of defeat, disappointment, disillusionment and never giving up the search for Love. The one who doesn't give up wins.
""
There is no such thing as quiet love. Whoever it happens to is lost. I can't recall a single moment when love brought me peace. It is always accompanied by suffering and unbearably happy moments, endless happiness and profound sadness.
""
Like all human beings, you are capable of love. How did you learn it? You didn't learn it: you believe it. You believe in him and you love him.

I'm three people, depending on who I'm with. The Innocent Little Girl who stares at the man in admiration and pretends to be fascinated by his seventy stories of power and glory. The Lady of Doom, who immediately pounces on those who are insecure, takes control of them and satisfies their desires, since they don't have to worry about anything else. Finally, the Understanding Mother, who takes care of all those who need comfort and care, pretends to understand them, but complains in one ear and out the other. Which one would you like to know?

Men are very strange. (...) They could hit me, shout at me, threaten me, but they are terribly afraid. They are afraid of a woman. Not necessarily the one they married, but there is always someone they fear and who subjects them to their every whim. If nothing else, their own mother.

God follows your every step and is restless because he sees that you do not notice the miracle of life.

It is good to let our hearts slowly heal their wounds. But it is not good to retreat and immerse ourselves in deep meditation in order not to be thought of as weak. We all have an angel and a devil living in our souls, who are very similar to each other. When we are faced with some difficulty, the devil suggests solitary meditation to show us how vulnerable we are. The angel, on the other hand, stimulates thought and sometimes uses a human mouth to speak to us through it. The warrior of light finds a balance between solitude and dependence on others.

I looked at the woman I had been and saw that she was weak, even though she was trying to make it look like she was strong. He is afraid of everything, but he makes himself believe that it is not fear, but the wisdom of a person who knows reality. He walls up the windows so that the sun doesn't shine into his room: it would fade the old furniture. I saw the Other sitting in the corner of the room: he was weak, tired and disillusioned. He brought under his control and enslaved what should always fly freely: his emotions.
""
Everyone, everyone in the world wants to ask me for something. That's why they praise, flatter and offer what they think I need. After all, I want nothing more than to finally be alone.

The end does not justify the means. Because there are no goals, only means. Life moves from the unknown to the unknown.
""
Millions of people have already given it up to this moment. They don't get angry, they don't cry, they don't do anything, they just wait for time to pass. They lost the ability to react. But you are sad. This indicates that your soul is still alive.

The world is a mirror, and each person reflects their own facial features.

Regret really kills: it slowly eats away at the soul of someone who once did something wrong.
""
The most miserable is the one who looks at the misery of others with indifference.
""
The warrior (...) accepts that his enemies are there to test his courage, endurance and judgment. They encourage him to fight for his dreams.

A fighter who trusts his wits too much underestimates the strength of his opponent.

Collected love turns into good luck, collected anger turns into bad luck.

For the warrior, there is no better or worse: he knows that everyone has the abilities he needs in his individual life.

If I don't learn anything new on this path from now on, I at least learned one important thing: you have to take risks.

I ask what my mission is, and the voice answers that it is what every human being has: to imbue the world with the energy of true love.
""
I've already seen so many surprising things that I don't have the slightest doubt that miracles exist, that everything is possible, and that people are beginning to rediscover what they've forgotten: their own inner voice.
""
One tells the other, the mysterious chain gets longer and longer, and what the writer thought was lonely work suddenly transforms: it becomes a bridge, a boat, with the help of which souls travel and communicate with each other.
""
And suddenly the miracle happens: I look at the woman who is there next to me and made the coffee, is reading a newspaper, her eyes are tired and disillusioned, the woman who is there and listens, as always, who made me say "yes" say when I wanted to say "no", who forced me to fight for what he - rightly - believed to be the meaning of my life, who gave up being by his side because he loved me more than himself, and who started me to find my dream.
""
As for reality, it's just a story other people have told us about the world and how we should behave in it.
""
To live, to love every minute, every second. There is no place, no time for sadness, doubt, nothing: there is only great love, the love of life.
""
I came into contact with the energy of the Universe (...). God slipped through my soul.
""
Appreciate the time you spend here on Earth, know that God has always forgiven you, and forgive yourself.
""
Love justifies actions that people cannot understand - unless they experience the same thing.
""
You showed how love can change a person. I discovered who I am through you.
""
One day the day will come when love will move into every heart, and man's most terrible enemy - loneliness, which is worse than hunger - will be banished from the face of the earth forever.
""
Only once did I dare to ask him: "Why do you love me?" He replied, "I have no idea, but I don't care at all."
""
The energy of love cannot be wasted, because it is more powerful than anything else and can manifest itself in many ways.
""
I don't think I tripped and fell. Rather, I believe that I have to pass a test again, which will teach me the next step.
""
We are not created to be alone, and we can truly know ourselves when we see ourselves in the eyes of another person.
""
You get back what you give - even though it might be from where you least expect it.

It is good to give when asked, but it is better to give without asking, with understanding.
""
Most of our problems actually stem from nothing more than following the rules.

The changes that fate brings about in people are favorable, you just have to be able to decipher what is hidden in them.

It is important to let fate intervene in our lives and decide what is best for each of us.

God has hidden the most important things from the wise, because they cannot understand the simple, and He has revealed them to the simple of heart.

In any dance to which we give ourselves with joy, our brain loses control and our body continues to be controlled by our heart.

Most of my parents' friends and their children are graduates. But that doesn't mean they managed to find the job they wanted. On the contrary: they graduated from a university only because someone once said, when universities seemed important, that those who have a degree can make it in life. And the excellent gardeners, bakers, antiquarians, masons and writers disappear one by one.

A new witch hunt begins. This time not with fire and iron, but with mockery and oppression. Woe to the person who accidentally discovers some special ability in himself and dares to tell others about it! Even the family members - the husband, the wife, the father or the child, it doesn't matter - instead of being proud of him, they forbid him to bring up the subject because they are afraid that the family will be laughed at.

Christ was surrounded by beggars, prostitutes, tax collectors and fishermen. I think this means that the divine spark is there in the soul of every person and never goes out.

Those who love in the hope of reciprocation are only wasting their time.

Silence does not always mean consent, in fact, most of the time it just indicates that people are not always able to react immediately.

If you want to dominate someone, all you have to do is make them afraid.
""
Everyone lives in constant fear. You're not alone. The only difference between you and the others is that you are already over it: what you feared the most has happened. Now you have nothing to lose. The others, on the other hand, continue to live in fear. There are those who are aware of it, and there are those who refuse to acknowledge it, but everyone knows that it exists, and one day it will take them with it.
""
People do not behave according to society's rules because they love to obey the laws, but because they are afraid of punishment.

The best way to weaken an opponent is to make them believe that we are on their side.

It is foolish to try to hold the world in our hands and to believe in a completely false security, because those who live like this are unprepared for life's vicissitudes.

Even a small detail - no matter how harmless it may seem - can ruin everything.
""
If we are good, God is just and he will forgive all my sins, he will forgive me for wishing evil to those who wanted to destroy me, for making the wrong decision in important moments, and for making such an offer to your village. You have to forgive him, as he pushed me to the dark side. If, on the other hand, we are bad, then everything is free, then I have never made a bad decision, because we are doomed from the start, and it does not matter how we live, since salvation is independent of our thoughts and actions.
""
I discovered that as soon as we have the opportunity to give in to temptation, we give in immediately. All human beings are ready to do bad things, it just depends on the circumstances whether they actually do it.

Men (...) especially take great pleasure in feeling superior - and they don't even notice that in most cases their behavior is perfectly predictable.
""
A bitter person will soon run out of desires. He doesn't want to live or die - and that's the biggest problem.
""
We all owe love enough to allow it to manifest itself in whatever form it wants.
""
- Do you think that in addition to accepting what I do, you also want to help? - Yes (...). Even if I don't understand you, even if sometimes I suffer as the Virgin Mary suffered throughout her life, even if you are not Jesus Christ, but you have a message for the world. I'm with you and I want you to win.

This is the true Tradition: the master never tells his student what to do. They are just fellow travelers who together face the difficult experience of wonder, when doors close and horizons open before them, when perception is constantly changing, when rivers cross their paths - which must not be crossed, but walked along.

We can imagine anything in the dark, but usually we only imagine our phantoms.

We had everything, except for the one thing we wanted most: no children. So we basically had nothing.

I say that they should continue to call us gypsies, but do away with the legends that tarnish us in front of the world!

In pagan traditions, the cult of nature is more emphasized than the knowledge of holy books: the Goddess is in everything, and everything is in the Goddess, that is, everything is part of the Goddess. And the world is only an expression of His goodness.
""
It is not surprising that more and more people are interested in pagan traditions. Why? Because the image of God the Father is always accompanied by strictness and the discipline of the cult. In contrast, the Mother God emphasizes the primacy of love over all the prohibitions and taboos we know.
""
A warrior of light needs love. Love and tenderness are just as basic needs as eating, drinking, and the Good Fight. If the sunset doesn't make the warrior happy, he knows something is wrong. When he feels like it, he puts down his weapon and heads off to find a companion to enjoy the twilight with.
""
The warrior strives to learn as much as possible about his abilities. He always checks his armor, which consists of three things: faith, hope and love.
""
I will no longer believe in people because one person deceived me. I will hate those who find hidden treasure because I have not found mine.

I was happy and I spread my happiness around me. People were happy for me when they saw me coming.

The World Spirit feeds on the joy of people. Or from grief, envy, jealousy. Man's only duty is to fulfill his personal History.

I didn't notice the changes. I thought everything was fine, that the bad would pass, it was just a matter of time.

I discovered that I am much better and capable of much more than I thought, and age only slows the steps of people who have never had the courage to march in their own rhythm.

I never noticed how beautiful she was. I'm crying because when he fell over me and looked at me, I saw how my beauty was reflected in the depths of his eyes.

A warrior of light knows what is worth fighting for. He acts on his intuition and faith. But there are people who call him to a fight that is not his, a battlefield that he does not know or that he simply does not care about. Such people want to involve the fighter in fights that are very important to them, but mean nothing to him. These are often people very close to him, who love him, trust in his strength, and want to get his help at all costs. At such times, he smiles and assures them of his love, but does not accept the challenge. The true warrior chooses the battlefield alone.

We can try to follow regulations, control our feelings, try to plan our actions in advance - but we are foolish if we do so. The heart decides anyway, and only its decision matters.

Two women live in me: one wants to know all the adventures, experience all the joys and passions, while the other wants an ordinary life, security, peace, and a happy family. I am the housewife and the whore, two souls in one body, fighting against each other.

But what is the point of suffering for a man? Nothing. And we walk the torment of hells, where there is no nobility and greatness - only torment.

Life can test a person's endurance in many ways: either by nothing happening, or by everything happening at once.

A man's dignity is not measured by how many people are around him when he is successful, but by whether he does not forget the hands that were extended to him when he needed it most.

It wasn't hard for him to realize that the Super Class was as dependent on his own success as a drug addict is on drugs, and that he was much more unhappy than people who wanted nothing more than a house, a garden, a running child, food on the table and winter. on a lit fireplace. They are aware of their limitations, they know that life is short, and why would they want more than that?
""
God only asks: "Did you love while you lived?" This is what life is all about: the ability to love, not the name we carry on our passports, business cards and identity cards. The great mystics changed their names, and some even left it forever. When St. John the Baptist was asked who he was, he simply said, "I am a voice crying in the wilderness." When Jesus finds one of his followers, he doesn't care that the man has been called Simon all his life and names him Peter. Moses asks God his name. The answer: "I am."

Those who cherish their friendships will never be torn apart by the storms of life: they have enough strength to overcome difficulties and continue their journey.
""
Wait. That was the first lesson I learned about love. The day creeps by terribly slowly, you weave a thousand plans, you imagine all the possible dialogues, you make various vows, you promise yourself that you will change - while you keep waiting and waiting, bitter and restless, until it arrives.
""
There is nothing worse than feeling that no one cares that we exist, that no one listens to what we say, and that the world works perfectly without our disturbing presence.
""
I'm happy it exists - because it showed me that I'm capable of love that I didn't even know existed, and that fills me with gratitude.
""
People dream of coming back rather than leaving. (...) And you will be able to come back one day. If it was just a flash of light, like when a star explodes, then when you come back you won't find anything. But you saw a flash of light. And it was already worth it.

I'm afraid that if I realized my dream, I wouldn't have anything to live for. (...) I'm afraid of big disappointment and I'd rather just dream about it all.

I neither live in my past nor my future. I'm only present, that's all I care about. If you can always stay in the present, you will be happy. (...) Because there is always only the moment in which one lives.

Our visible self, who we think we are, is just a circumscribed place that has nothing to do with our real self. That's why it's so hard for us to hear what the soul says, so we try to curb it so that we can follow our plans instead: our desires, our hopes, our future.

He who trusts himself trusts others. Because he knows that if he is let down - sooner or later he will be let down, because life is just like that - he can fight back. One of the beauties of life lies precisely in this: in taking risks.

There are many emotions that move a person's heart when they decide to embark on a spiritual path. The goal can be noble: such as faith, love of neighbor or charity. But it can also be simple whimsy, fear of loneliness, curiosity and the desire for love. However, none of this matters. The true spiritual path is stronger than any reason that sets us on it.

Love is just that. It illuminates our mission on this earth and gives meaning to our lives. He who acts in this consciousness is accompanied by protective goodness, he finds comfort in difficult moments, he gives his all and asks for nothing in return, only the closeness of his love, the absorber of light, the chalice of fertility, the light that illuminates the path.

Love, with its subtlety, overthrows oppressive power, gives drink to those thirsty for tenderness, holds the door open to let in the blessed light and rain. It slows down time, or even speeds it up, but it sure doesn't continue at the same pace, in the same unbearable monotony.

A sunflower will always remain a sunflower, even if you can't yet distinguish it from other flowers. No matter how much you want to, you cannot turn it into either a rose or a tulip, the symbol of our country. If you want to deny yourself, you will only become bitter and dead already in life.
