Reflections And Wisdom Quotes

“When you write the ending, Monique, make sure it's clear that I don't love this apartment, that I don't care about all my money, that I couldn't give a rat's ass if people think I'm a legend, that the adoration of millions of people never warmed my bed.

When you write the ending, Monique, tell everyone that it is the people I miss. Tell everyone that I got it wrong. That I chose the wrong things most of the time.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

“Quiet reflection
is often the mother of deep understanding.
Maintain that peaceful nursery,
enabling stillness to speak.”

“You will eventually recover from a defeat but you must never forget what it taught you.”

“A quiet reflective mind is a wholesome mind. It is an inbound mind. This kind of mind is not only capable of deep contemplation – it is also capable of intense action. The centre of a cyclone is very quiet. It is from this centre that the cyclone attains its power. A revolving fan is still at the tip. It is here that motion is intensified to the point of stillness. A mind that has learnt to slow itself down is indeed a capable mind. For this, our minds need to periodically withdraw from the world of sensations. Like a tortoise withdraws its limbs into its shell – a sane mind goes inwards in search of its quiet centre.”

“Non Rex sum, sed Caesar”

“Your heart cannot feel
Nothing it cannot heal.
If you keep yourself still,
Steal no time it's no real!”
― Ana Claudia Antunes, The Witches Of Avignon

“Life had taught me that it is possible that things, ideas, concepts, and feelings can mean the opposite of what might seem apparent. It was possible for people to be the opposite of what they claimed. It was possible for 'home' to signify 'exile' and vice versa. Laughter may be tears in disguise. Revolutions could be about oppressive powers pulling the carpet from under the feet of other oppressors. Climbing to the top might not really mean 'going up,' it could in fact be a harsh form of falling; reaching the pinnacle of fame, surrounded by camera flashes has led to the demise of countless souls on this planet. In brief, it was possible that everything we are told and taught is the opposite of what we think, or that it might be outright false.”
― Louis Yako, Bullets in Envelopes: Iraqi Academics in Exile

“°I quite distinctly heard you mulling it over, and my own ears seldom deceive me. But anyway, that’s beside the point. The reason that you are kept waiting – and this is just one “for instance” out of many other possible examples – is that what you see and experience is a reflection in the outer world of you keeping yourself and others waiting. It’s as if a mirror had been held up to your own face. Please excuse the vernacular, but if you really had your shit together as you think you have, Louie, then you wouldn’t be in this mess in the first place. It’s as simple – and yet currently difficult – as that.°”
― H.M. Forester, Secret Friends: The Ramblings of a Madman in Search of a Soul

“When in doubt, zoom out.”
― Najah Roberts

“Hopefully your life doesn't become the reality and reflection of the stained feelings that you have impressed and imposed upon someone else.”
― Niedria Kenny, Order in the Courtroom: The Tale of a Texas Poker Player

“There are stories that should not be told.



Much.



They contain stories only shared late, after most of the other things that day have been handled.

Because they are too rich and righteous to waste on the fly.

Because they are too wholly human, wholly memorable, wholly intimate, wholly tender.

And like that.

Holy.



These stories should not be told.



Much.”
