quotes

We know what we are but not what we may be. -Ophelia

The brain is wider than the sky. - Emily Dickinson

Don't become a mere recorder of facts, but try to penetrate the mystery of their origin. - Ivan Pavlov

There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so. - Hamlet

Much learning could not teach understanding. - Heraculitus

A wonderful fact to reflect upon, that every human creature is constituted to be that profound secret and mystery to every other. -Charles Dickens

Nothing can hurt us after we are dead, or so we have been told. - Patrick Rothfuss

“A person who has not been completely alienated, who has remained sensitive and able to feel, who has not lost the sense of dignity, who is not yet "for sale", who can still suffer over the suffering of others, who has not acquired fully the having mode of existence - briefly, a person who has remained a person and not become a thing - cannot help feeling lonely, powerless, isolated in present-day society. He cannot help doubting himself and his own convictions, if not his sanity. He cannot help suffering, even though he can experience moments of joy and clarity that are absent in the life of his "normal" contemporaries. Not rarely will he suffer from neurosis that results from the situation of a sane man living in an insane society, rather than that of the more conventional neurosis of a sick man trying to adapt himself to a sick society. In the process of going further in his analysis, i.e. of growing to greater independence and productivity,his neurotic symptoms will cure themselves.” - Erich Fromm

My heaven.

I am in love. Clouds inside my head floating around softly. You began to kiss me, and for a moment i thought it was just a peck. You moved your hand onto my cheek, and barely curled your fingers, just enough to get a tickle at my cheekbone. I look up as you look away. I look away as you look up. Then, in the tiniest moment our eyes meet and it feels like a ray beam is connecting our eyes to sit frozen. I count the dots on your eye lids, those little specs behind your eyelashes. He has the prettiest eye lashes, for well, being a guy. See, it's not just two kids sexually taking out their energy on each other, in the heat of the moment, you feel things that nobody else has made you feel. You can't even explain them to anyone else because those feelings are so rare, you already know they can't comprehend. The faster you go, the harder, the way you look up at me to see my reactions. You take a glance and then shut your eyes again, wondering when you should take another peak. The way you delicately grab and move my hips as if i were made out of glass. Very careful, he is. I once met this boy, and he changed my life.

People always say things happen for a reason but why do things need reasoning if what happened doesn't matter in the end? Why must we take the time to understand such things the human mind cannot comprehend. Why do our minds tend to create such pain & grief when it no longer needs to think for physical reasoning. Think in terms of why we lay in bed wondering why things are the way they are, yet we want to sleep, our brain refuses because we lie to ourselves thinking that if we somehow ignore the thoughts, we will eventually fall asleep. Time is nothing but numbers, calculations of daylight. We make our brains believe that it's suppose to shut down at a certain time every night. It we force ourselves to do things that the brain does not agree with, we will not achieve much power to ourselves. We need to come to a conclusion that the human brain is more powerful that ourselves. We cannot push it to do such things, as it is not comfortable. Motivation should not come from others but a deep connection from inside should tell you to do certain tasks that require much importance that will lead to success, happiness within the heart. Nothing is more meaningful than a life lived with full ability to do as you please. If you have a conscience, follow it. If you don't, live life as you must but search for happiness and never find it. Those 15 extra minute spent in bed awake every night, use them how you please. To please yourself is to please others. It is not exactly selfish, but a way of life in happiness to success in achieving nothing to show but pure happiness as the result of personal motivation.
