Quotes
Nurture Your Mind…
“Nurture your mind with great thoughts. To believe in the heroic makes heroes.” –Benjamin Disraeli
Endings Are Abstruse…
“Endings are abstruse, mystic and unreal. They are but depleted beginnings purposed to be substituted with newer ones. A transition of outlook and time, similar to our differing moods before and after slumber. Before the act we witness an exhaustion, a sulkiness but on gaining consciousness, we’re rejuvenated and good-humored. The wakefulness is the new beginning whereas the tension the disturbance we perceive each night is the weariness of the beginnings, of each day. So there never really is an end, all that there are, are beginnings. Beginnings which are promising, which offer hope, which have a new leash on life, which neither denounce nor belittle rather soothe and console by reconstructing the broken pieces of yesterday, mending them and reinforcing them with courage and beauty like never before.” ―Chirag Tulsiani
The Most Beautiful People…
“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.” ―Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

A whole bunch of mistakes! But if you never get a second chance at something you didn’t take a first chance at? That’s true failure.” ―C. JoyBell C.
All Life…
“All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make, the better.” –Ralph Waldo Emerson
No Amount Of Love…
“No amount of love can cure madness or unblacken one’s dark moods. Love can help, it can make the pain more tolerable, but, always, one is beholden to medication that may or may not always work and may or may not be bearable” ―Kay Redfield Jamison
We Live, In Fact…
