isolation

You don't drown by falling in the water; you drown by staying there. 

Your future self is watching you right now through your memories.

Our eyes see 0.05% of the entire electromagnetic wave... *We*'*re blind cosmically*, but we judge everything by what we see.

The more I see, the less I know for sure..

If you could be anything, would you be yourself?

To form human connection and create a lasting impression of our fleeting time on our little planet is the most important act of art there is. 

Do you ever go star gazing and wonder if they stare back?

It can be easy to fall prey to the limiting belief that we are stagnant beings, separate from the constant metamorphosis that is unfolding all around us. When we widen our perspective, we expand our potential. In the words of Joseph Campbell, "The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe. To match your nature with nature."

I have come to realise it doesn't make much sense to ponder the meaning of life; that it is a question induced by melancholy; that an answer is not really what we are looking for. Does it not disappear the minute we find joy again? Who, when finally seized by a great desire to love, to dance, to work, still wonders: what is the meaning of life?

Belinda Cannone, Petit éloge de l'embrassement

What you admire in others exist within you

Great knowledge often comes from the humblest of origins.

What does it mean to be a self-conscious animal? The idea is ludicrous, if it is not monstrous. It means to know that one is food for worms. This is the terror: to have emerged from nothing, to have a name, consciousness of self, deep inner feelings, an excruciating inner yearning for life and self-expression and with all this yet to die. It seems like a hoax, which is why one type of cultural man rebels openly against the idea of God. What kind of deity would create such complex and fancy worm food?

Ernest Becker, The Denial of Death

Why do we close our eyes when we pray, cry, kiss, or dream? Because the most beautiful things in life are not seen but felt by the heart

We lose our health to make money.  
And then lose our money to restore our health.

A winner is a loser who tried one more time. 

If you hold your hand closed, nothing good can come in. The open hand is blessed, for it gives in abundance, even as it receives.

— Biddy Mason

what we care for, we will grow to resemble. and what we resemble will hold us, when we are us no longer. — richard powers

Stress grows me and improves my performance over time.
