“A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are;
we can be loved for who we are and not for who we’re pretending to be.
Each unveils the best part of the other.
No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we’re safe in our own paradise.
Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction.
When we’re two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we’ve found the right person.
Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.”

My emphasis is to increase your cheerfulness, your laughter, because this world is not for the miserable.
This world is not for the people who have become too accustomed to anxiety, anguish.
This world belongs to those who live moment to moment in utter ecstasy.
Cheerfulness, non seriousness, a sense of humor to me are very fundamental qualities of a religious being.

Osho

My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength.

If we have learned one thing from the history of invention and discovery, it is that, in the long run - and often in the short one - the most daring prophecies seem laughably conservative.

first, by reflection, which is noblest;

second, by imitation, which is easiest;

and third, by experience, which is the most bitter."​

​

All things in this creation exist within you;
and all things in you exist in creation.
There is no border between you and the closest things,
and there is no distance between you and the farthest things,
and all things from the lowest to the loftiest,
from the smallest to the greatest,
are within you as equal things.
In one atom are found all the elements of the earth;
in one motion of the mind are found the motions of all the laws of existence;
in one drop of water are found the secrets of all the endless oceans;
in one aspect of you are found all the aspects of existence.


Kahlil Gibran

Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists. When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence.

Edmond and Jules De Goncourt

My mind," he said, "rebels at stagnation.
Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere.
I can dispense then with artificial stimulants.
But I abhor the dull routine of existence.
I crave for mental exaltation.
That is why I have chosen my own particular profession, or rather created it, for I am the only one in the world.”

Arthur Conan Doyle, The Sign of Four
