Lives

Posted by PJ under quote of the day, reincarnation
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Pythagoras may well have been
the deepest in his learning of all men.
And still he claimed to recollect
details of former lives,
being in one a cucumber
and one time a sardine.”

—Heraclitus, Fragment 17 (tr. Brooks Haxton)

Quixotic

No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“QUIXOTIC, adj. Absurdly chivalric, like Don Quixote. An insight into the beauty and excellence of this incomparable adjective is unhappily denied to him who has the misfortune to know that the gentleman’s name is pronounced Ke-ho-tay.

—Ambrose Bierce, The Devil’s Dictionary

Change

Posted by PJ under change, chaos, courage and fear, future, quote of the day, the past, the present
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“In a time of drastic change one can be too preoccupied with what is ending or too obsessed with what seems to be beginning. In either case one loses touch with the present and with its obscure but dynamic possibilities. You do not need to know what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and embrace them with courage, faith and hope. In such an event, courage is the authentic form taken by love.

—Thomas Merton, Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander

Truth

No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“In the end, the truth always wins out. It always does, no matter how many times you tell a story that isn’t true. In the end, the truth comes out. There’s either video evidence or photographic evidence. I think the American people are smart consumers.

—Gayle King, Women’s Wear Daily, February 23, 2017
