~favorite quotes:
*Life engenders life. Energy creates energy.
It is by spending oneself that one becomes rich.
~ Sarah Bernhardt
*Who will tell whether one happy moment of love or the joy of breathing or walking on a bright morning and smelling the fresh air, is not worth all the suffering and effort which life implies."
-Erich Fromm
*Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is.
~ Francis Bacon
*Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.
- Edgar Allen Poe
*To see ourselves as others see us is a most
salutary gift. Hardly less important
is the capacity to see others as they see themselves.
~ Aldous Huxley
*I would feel more optimistic about a bright
future for man if he spent less time proving
that he can outwit Nature and more time
tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority.
~ E. B. White
*I knew that good like bad becomes a routine,
that the temporary tends to endure,
that what is external permeates to the inside,
and that the mask, given time,
comes to be the face itself.
~ Marguerite Yourcenar
*We are shaped and fashioned by what [whom] we love
-Johann von Goethe
*The essence of all beautiful art,
all great art, is gratitude.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
*The greatest book is not the one whose message engraves itself on the brain, as a telegraphic message engraves itself on the ticker-tape, but the one whose vital impact opens up other viewpoints, and from writer to reader spreads the fire that is fed by the various essences, until it becomes a vast conflagration leaping from forest to forest. ~ Romain Rolland
