Author	Topic: Only the most poetic and beautiful quotes
Heart--Shaped Cross unregistered	posted November 05, 2007 07:30 PM Whoa, thats interesting because a psychic told me to read a book by stephen king. Then she said the thought he wrote a book about being a writer, which he did. But I dont think that was specifically, and certainly not exclusively, the "psychic recommendation". I think I read Jonathan Seagull before I talked to her. IP: Logged

There are wars where no one marches with a flag, though that does not keep casualties from mounting. Our hearts irrigate this earth. We are fields before each other. How can we live in harmony? First we need to know we are all madly in love with the same God. St Thomas Aquinas 1125-1274 ------------------ ~ What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world is immortal"~ - George Eliot IP: Logged

26taurus unregistered	posted November 07, 2007 06:28 PM A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul. ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ~ IP: Logged
MysticMelody Knowflake Posts: 1066 From: Registered: Apr 2009	posted November 07, 2007 07:43 PM Andre' Malraux (french novelist) nearing 80 yrs old... "Pierre, in my life, I've seen wars, plagues, revolutions, the inside of prisons, the death of kings, the fall of governments. You've been a priest for over fifty years. You've hear thousands of confessions, but rarely traveled more than twenty kilometers from the house where you were born. What have you learned?" Father Pierre (Andre's boyhood buddy): "There are no grown-ups." IP: Logged

NosiS Knowflake Posts: 189 From: Registered: Apr 2009	posted November 08, 2007 04:09 PM "And the real poet may never compose any poetry, because his whole being is poetry. They way he walks, the way he sits, the way he eats, the way he sleeps - it is all poetry. He exists as poetry. He may create poetry, he may not create poetry, that is irrelevant." -Osho IP: Logged
NosiS Knowflake Posts: 189 From: Registered: Apr 2009	posted November 08, 2007 04:14 PM "Love is not a learning, but a growth. All that is needed on your part is not to learn the ways of love, but to unlearn the ways of unlove. The hindrances have to be removed, the obstacles have to be destroyed - then love is your natural, spontaneous being. Once the obstacles are removed, the rocks thrown away, the flow starts. It is already there - hidden behind many rocks, but the spring is already there. It is your very being." -Osho IP: Logged

Heart--Shaped Cross unregistered	posted November 20, 2007 12:17 AM When you become weary, as I have become weary, then, don't you become an enemy to life and the living... Don't you feel that the song in your heart is a sad one, unfit to sing... And don't you stop listening to your own sad heart... And sheepishly move away, to dwell somewhere else, in dark, half-consoling distractions... Dont you feel branded a traitor to the human spirit... And doesn't everyone see in your eyes the anxiety and contempt you try to hide... The angst that wells up from the beginning of the world, with nowhere to go... The sputtering live-wire of undirected rage, that bends back upon the handler, and bites the fleshy wrist like an electric snake... Aren't you the body's curse... The dry cuck that scours the pagan streets with a criminal hunger... And ends in choked ecstasies, discharged on rough sheets, where shame hangs like a musk,... Hadn't you better keep it to yourself, cage'd angel... Cull the crust from your eyes, and sit there starving, well-behaved... Waiting for the death that only comes to whet your appetites for sleep and dreams... Aren't you a prize for sore eyes... Demoralized... Praying under your breath like it was a crime; a waste of God's precious time... IP: Logged

juniperb Moderator Posts: 9306 From: Blue Star Kachina Registered: Apr 2009	posted November 20, 2007 02:26 PM We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world. Speak or act with a pure mind And happiness will follow you As your shadow, unshakeable.

Heart--Shaped Cross unregistered	posted November 20, 2007 04:39 PM Thanks, NosiS. Juni - We are what we are. All things mutually arise. This is the Nature of Being. BE yourself. Speak and act with sincerity, and do not seek to deceive yourself, or others, for good or ill. What you repress will return ten-fold. Let life touch you. All of life. Be where you are. Let Nature take its course. ~ Me, from my own heart. IP: Logged

juniperb Moderator Posts: 9306 From: Blue Star Kachina Registered: Apr 2009	posted November 24, 2007 09:21 AM The Dullard Sage Lost in myself I reappeared I know not where a drop that rose from the sea and fell and dissolved again; a shadow that stretched itself out at dawn, when the sun reached noon I disappeared. I have no news of my coming or passing away-- the whole thing happened quicker than a breath; ask no questions of the moth. In the candle flame of his face I have forgotten all the answers. In the way of love there must be knowledge and ignorance so I have become both a dullard and a sage; one must be an eye and yet not see so I am blind and yet I still perceive, Dust be on my head if I can say where I in bewilderment have wandered: Attar watched his heart transcend both worlds and under its shadow now is gone mad with love.
