"It takes a lifetime to build a reputation and only a few seconds to destroy one." - Unknown

"Someday, somewhere- anywhere, unfailingly, you'll find yourself, and that, and only that, can be the happiest or bitterest hour of your life."
- Pablo Neruda

"There is a law of the natural worlds (the spiritual and the physical) and this is something I have understood: that for every genuine existence, for every real manifestation and occurrence, there are are ten thousand falsities. Before you meet what or who is genuine, you will first have met, or known of, what is fake; and ten thousand times so! There is no need to feel disappointments, any number below ten thousand deceptions renders you a lucky person! And you ask why is there a need for this to happen? Well, if you have not known what is false first, there is no way to understand what then comes which is truth. What is lesser is so afraid of what is genuine, that it finds it necessary to imitate and duplicate that imitation ten thousand times over, for fear that you will finally meet what is real. The more important that one existence is, the more imitations there are in the world."

JoyBell C.

"I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight. And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you're going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you."
C. JoyBell C.

"Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen."

How true that is dear UD! ~deep sigh~ I too am sometimes a hypocrite for i don't act by the beliefs I preach and for that Im truly sorry... But every time I stumble, now I can feel and know how to get back on my feet and follow the Path of Love...

"We have come into this exquisite world to experience ever and ever more deeply our divine courage, freedom and light!"

"We are
People who need to love, because
Love is the soul's life,

Love is simply creation's greatest joy."

Nelson Mandela::
I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.

In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

Force never moves in a straight line, but always in a curve vast as the universe, and therefore eventually returns whence it issued forth, but upon a higher arc, for the universe has progressed since it started. - Kabbalah

It is said that the present is pregnant with the future - Voltaire

God is the tangential point between zero and infinity. - Alfred Jarry (1873-1907, French Playwright, Author)

I wear the chain I forged in life....I made it link by link, and yard by yard; I girded it on of my own free will, and of my own free will I wore it - Charles Dickens

Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends. - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

I guess Kabbalah do not comprehend spiral

"We are all sentenced to solitary confinement inside our own skins, for life."

Tennessee Williams

"I hate race discrimination most intensely and in all its manifestations. I have fought it all during my life; I fight it now, and will do so until the end of my days."

- Nelson Mandela

"Difficulties break some men but make others. No axe is sharp enough to cut the soul of a sinner who keeps on trying, one armed with the hope that he will rise even in the end."

- Nelson Mandela

"Death is something inevitable. When a man has done what he considers to be his duty to his people and his country, he can rest in peace. I believe I have made that effort and that is, therefore, why I will sleep for the eternity."

- Nelson Mandela

"Death is something inevitable. When a man has done what he considers to be his duty to his people and his country, he can rest in peace."

I happened to be in Johannesburg 3 years ago and the chaos
and lawlessness I have experienced made me a firm believer that he cannot rest in peace... ~~~~~~deep sigh~~~~~

"Literature as any art is a confession that life isn't enough"

Fernando Pessoa

A suitable one for the new year, I think

'For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again'

From The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (the 2013 film):

'Beautiful things don't ask for attention.'

"Beautiful things don't ask for attention."

The mere purpose of beauty is to seek attention. It is the art of performance: Whoever, whatever that could capture the most attention: Flowers that jet out and splash into our eyes to show off the magnificence of their existence, to scream out into the ears of our heeds. We always put the most beautiful ones forward, in windows, in fruit box, in our poetry, in art, in the cinema..., beauty is the frontiers.
""Only beauty, is not ashamed to be exposed.""

However in regard to human being because of the grasp for essentials, the best of us, rather to see inner beauties; the beauty that does not need to show off. ""Only essentials last""
we had this discussion before in the other thread.

"Each simple substance is the perpetual, living mirror of the universe."

G.W. Leibnize

"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand." - Albert Einstein

"The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane." - Nikola Tesla

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." - Steve Jobs

"Viata e mai tare decat mizeriile ei." - George Bacovia ( "Life is stronger than its miseries." )

"Writers are born, speakers are made." - Quintilian

"The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once."

Albert Einstein

But Mr. Einstein, everything does, happen at once but our mind is only able to process them gradually.
That gradualness, is time.

RealMeaning, Everything happens in correspondence to time and that is forward motion.

Dear Samuel
Your view of time is the first observation. We are programed to see time as a line, not capacity. It is hard to understand the connection of atoms and the forth degree: history(time)
Leibniz does not believe in the existence of time and space. He says space( also time) is as the result of confused perception of MONADS (atoms of perception) acting upon each other.
There are other philosopher also who see time differently like George Berkeley and so on.
for me time is: "The distance between perfection and the perfection lost."
And that distance brings up the illusion of radius in time (linage) and space.

I apologize for getting so obscure, the nature of time is like this: very hard subject to talk about.

Bertrand Russell:

"The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd."

"To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom."
