"Everyone believes that the main aim in life is to follow a plan.  

They accumulate experiences, memories, things, other people’s ideas, 

and it is more than they can possibly cope with. 

And that is why they forget their dreams." 

 Paulo Coelho

Optimist: someone who figures that taking a step backward after taking a step forward is not a disaster, it’s a cha-cha.

'O que for, quando for, é que será o que é.'

 Alberto Caeiro

Why should you think that beauty, which is the most precious thing in the world, 

lies like a stone on the beach for the careless passer-by to pick up idly? 

Beauty is something wonderful and strange that the artist fashions out of the chaos of the world in the torment of his soul. 

And when he has made it, it is not given to all to know it. 

To recognize it you must repeat the adventure of the artist. 

It is a melody that he sings to you, and to hear it again in your own heart 

you want knowledge and sensitiveness and imagination.

from The Moon and Sixpence by W.S. Maugham

"You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks, or even months over-analyzing a situation; 

trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could’ve, would’ve happened… 

or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move on."

                                      Anaïs Nin

I am one of the searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. 

We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. 

We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret. 

We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. 

We like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. 

We like forests and mountains„ deserts and hidden rivers, and the lonely cities as well. 

Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter. 

To share our sadness with one we love is perhaps as great a joy as we can know - 

unless it be to share our laughter. 

We searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful it can provide.

I learned… that inspiration does not come like a bolt, nor is it kinetic, energetic, striving, 

but it comes to us slowly and quietly and all the time, 

though we must regularly and every day give it a little chance to start flowing, 

prime it with a little solitude and idleness.

I don’t think I could care for you so much if you had nothing to complain of and nothing to regret. 
I don’t like people who have never fallen or stumbled. 
Their virtue is lifeless and of little value. 
Life hasn’t revealed it’s beauty to them.

Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they’ve all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds.

 Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe.

In quiet moments when you think about it, you recognize what is critically important in life and what isn’t.

 Be wise and don’t let good things crowd out those that are essential.

Certain thoughts are prayers. 

There are moments when, whatever be the attitude of the body,

Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power,

You are free.

The happiest people are those who think the most interesting thoughts. 

Those who decide to use leisure as a means of mental development, 

who love good music, good pictures, good company, 

good conversation, 

are the happiest people in the world. 

And they are not only happy in themselves, they are the cause of happiness in others.

Happy Easter

The soul is dyed in the color of its thoughts. 

Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. 

The content of your character is your choice. 

Day by day, what you do is who you become. 

Your integrity is your destiny - it is the light that guides your way.

"Isn’t it odd how much fatter a book gets when you’ve read it several times? 

As if something were left between the pages every time you read it. 

Feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells…and then, when you look at the book again

 many years later, you find yourself there, too, a slightly younger self, 

slightly different, as if the book had preserved you like a pressed flower…

both strange and familiar." 

 Cornelia Funke

An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet,

regardless of time, place, or circumstance.

The thread may stretch or tangle,

but it will never break.

Chinese proverb

Emma McNally- graphite on paper

by S.H.Chow

"The most important things are the hardest to say. 

They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them 

— words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head 

to no more than living size when they’re brought out. 

But it’s more than that, isn’t it? 

The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, 

like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. 

And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you

 in a funny way, not understanding what you’ve said at all,

 or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. 

That’s the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within 

not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear." 

 Stephen King
