“If your mind is sharp, your words will wound.” ―Sanjai Velayudhan
That’s kind of the point. 😉
Quotes
Fantasy Is Escapist…
“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don’t we consider it his duty to escape? If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!” ―J.R.R. Tolkien
For Every…
“For every pleasurable memory, we are bound to find just as many painful recollections.”
―Jay D’Cee
But Many Of Us Seek Community
“But many of us seek community solely to escape the fear of being alone. Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape.” ―Bell Hooks
It’s Okay To Have Boundaries…
“It’s okay to have boundaries. You can tell someone, “no” without having bad feelings toward them. You also never need to explain your boundaries once laid. A wise friend often states that. “no” is a complete sentence.” ―Mat Auryn
The Boundaries Of This World…
“The boundaries of this world are forever shifting – from day to night, joy to sorrow, love to hate, and from life itself to death; and who can say at what moment we may suddenly cross over the border, from one state of existence to another, like heat applied to some flammable substance? I have been given my own ever-changing margins, across which I move, continually and hungrily, like a migrating animal. Now civilized, now untamed; now responsive to decency and human concern, now viciously attuned to the darkest of desires.” ―Michael Cox
I Believe That Unarmed Truth…
“I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.” ―Martin Luther King Jr.
It Is An Absolute Human Certainty…
“It is an absolute human certainty that no one can know his own beauty or perceive a sense of his own worth until it has been reflected back to him in the mirror of another loving, caring human being.” ―John Joseph Powell
A Profound Love…
“A profound love between two people involves, after all, the power and chance of doing profound hurt.”
―Ursula K. Le Guin
How Is It That…
“How is it that some celebrities, whom the average person would believe to have all the popularity a human being could want, still admit to feeling lonely? It is quite naïve to assume that popularity is the remedy for loneliness. Loneliness does not necessarily equal physical solitude; it is the inability to be oneself and rightfully represented as oneself.” ―Criss Jami
