Random quote of the day:
“Even when we’re finally where we want to be—with the person we love, with the things we struggled for—our eyes are still on the horizon. They’re still on where to go next, what to do next, what we want the person we love to do and be. If we just stay where we are in the present moment, seeing what we’re seeing and hearing what we’re hearing and forgetting everything else, we feel we’re about to die; and our mind tortures us until we think of something else to live for. We have to keep finding a way away from where we are, into what we imagine is the future.

Random quote of the day:
“Earth laughs in flowers, to see her boastful boys
Earth-proud, proud of the earth which is not theirs;
Who steer the plough, but cannot steer their feet
Clear of the grave.

Random quote of the day:
“I see what happens when one gets very attached to material things. That’s just not what my life is. That’s not what I love and that’s not what makes me feel good. What makes me feel good are the simple things in life, like somebody I can really talk to, when I’m not concerned about whether they are going to betray me. My life is rich because I have those kinds of people in my life.”

Random quote of the day:
“We are as forlorn as children lost in the woods. When you stand in front of me and look at me, what do you know of the griefs that are in me and what do I know of yours? And if I were to cast myself down before you and weep and tell you, what more would you know about me than you know about Hell when someone tells you it is hot and dreadful? For that reason alone we human beings ought to stand before one another as reverently, as reflectively, as lovingly, as we would before the entrance to Hell.

Random quote of the day:
“It’s so easy to think we have superior knowledge, that our understanding is better. We love to correct the errors of the past in terms of what we now think is true. But who’s going to correct our errors? Everyone used to know that the sun goes round the earth; now everyone believes they know that the earth goes round the sun. The trouble is that every great step in understanding always demolishes and overturns the knowledge that went before. People will only look back on us in the way we look back at the past.
