A deception that elevates us is dearer than a host of low truths.

It is better to have dreamed a thousand dreams that never were than never to have dreamed at all.

Don't be sad, don't be angry, if life deceives you! Submit to your grief - your time for joy will come, believe me.

Fearing no insult, asking for no crown, receive with indifference both flattery and slander, and do not argue with a fool.

The less we show our love to a woman, Or please her less, and neglect our duty, The more we trap and ruin her surely, In the flattering toils of philandery.

Then came a moment of renaissance, I looked up - you again are there, A fleeting vision, the quintessence Of all that's beautiful and rare.

Better the illusions that exalt us than ten thousand truths.

I’ve lived to bury my desires, And see my dreams corrode with rust; Now all that’s left are fruitless fires That burn my empty heart to dust.

Somewhere between obsession and compulsion is impulse.

I want to understand you, I study your obscure language.

If you but knew the flames that burn in me which I attempt to beat down with my reason.

Happiness is free like the air we all breathe

If we push on, we begin to feel a vague, tingling sense of who, or what, we really are. It's a powerful feeling, strong enough to have us coming back for more, again and again.

I'm very underground.

Gratitude needs to come back in a big way and I hope to encourage people to get involved.

Ask yourself to slow down.

You cannot change the past but you can start now and lay the foundation for the future.
