“سکوتت را دوست دارم
چنان که گویی تو اینجا نیستی
چنان که گویی چشمانت پریده اند و رفته اند
چنان که گویی بوسه ای دهانت را بسته است”
― Pablo Neruda

“... belief that the answers one gives to life's crucial questions are never truly spontaneous; they are the embodiment of years of contextual experience, of the building of patterns in each of our lives that eventually grow to dominate our behavior.”
― Caleb Carr, The Alienist

“Built into the very structure of the egoic self is a need to oppose, resist, and exclude to maintain the sense of separateness on which its continued survival depends. So there is “me” against the “other,” “us” against “them.” The ego needs to be in conflict with something or someone. That explains why you are looking for peace and joy and love but cannot tolerate them for very long. You say you want happiness but are addicted to your unhappiness. Your unhappiness ultimately arises not from the circumstances of your life but from the conditioning of your mind.”
― Eckhart Tolle, Stillness Speaks

“simplicity may be improved, but pride and conceit never. Well,”
― Walter Scott, Waverley
