a day with meaningful quotes

curiosity kills the catsSs

"you must write every single day of your life...
 you must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to 
 sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads...  
 may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days.
 and out of that love, remake a world.

"sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing.
 there is a time for silence.
 a time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny.
 and a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over."
 - gloria naylor -

the true colors

"pride gets no pleasure out of having something.
 only out of having more of it than the next man.
 it is the comparison that makes you proud;
 the pleasure of being above the rest.
 once the element of competition is gone, pride is gone."
 - c. s. lewis -

dancing with myself

"it is difficult to believe in yourself because the idea of self is an artificial construction.
 you are, in fact, part of glorious oneness of the universe.
 everything beautiful in the world is within you.
 no one really feels self-confident deep down because it's an artificial idea.
 really, people aren't that worried about what you're doing or what you're saying,
 so you can drift around the world relatively anonymously; you must not feel persecuted and examined.
 liberate yourself from that idea that people are watching you."
 - russell brand -
