Some Quotes....

This page contains some of the quotes out of my large collection. However, it's going to be overhaul soon. A lots of Ghazals are about to some soon... Just pass by next time...

I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in and now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell then ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.

Newton

Beethoven on his letter to Karl Amenda, when the first signs of his deefness appeared:

Your Beethoven is most unhappy and at strife with nature and Creator. I have often cursed the latter for exposing his creatures to the merest accident, so that often the most beautiful buds are broken or destroyed thereby. Only think that my noblest faculty, hearing has greatly deteriorated.

But his fortitude was unshaken, for he continued:
I am resolved to rise superior to every obstacle... I am sure my fortune will not desert me. With whom need I be afraid of measuring my strength... I will take Fate by the throat.

But how humiliated I have felt if somebody standing beside me heard the sound of a flute in a distance and I heard nothing, or if somebody heard a shepherd sing and again I heard nothing- Such experiences almost made me despair, and I was on the point of putting an end to my life- The only thing that held me back was my art. For indeed it seemed impossible to leave this world before I had produced all the works that I felt urged to compose.

Of Man's first disobedience, and the fruit

Of that forbidden tree whose mortal taste

Brought death into the world, and all our woe.

John Milton in Paradise Lost. Book i. Line 1.

Simplex sigillum veri- The simple is the seal of the true.

and

Pulchritudo splendor veritatis- Beauty is the splendour of truth.

There is no chance, no destiny, no fate can circumvent or hinder or control, the firm resolve of a determine soul. Gifts counts for nothing. Will alone is great... all things give way before it sooner or later. What obstacle can stay the mighty force of the sea, seeking river in its force or cause of an ascending orb of day to wait?

Each wellborn soul must win what it deserves. Let the fool prate of luck. The fortunate is he whose earnest purpose never swerves, whose slightest action or inaction serves the one great aim.

Why even death stands still,

And wait an hour sometimes for.

Such a will

For beauty and love and delight,

There is no death nor change their might.

Exceeds our organ, which endure no light,

Being themselves obscure.

Keats

The world requires a few hundred bold men and women. Practice that boldness which dares know the Truth, which dares show the Truth in life, which does not quake before death, nay, welcomes death, makes a man know that he is the Spirit, that in the whole universe, nothing can kill him. Then you will be free.

Swami Vivekananda

A fingering slave,

One that would peep and botanize

Upon his mother's grave?

A reasoning self-sufficing thing,

An intellectual All-in-all!

Sweet is the lore which Nature brings;

Our meddling intellect

Misshapes the beauteous form of things:

We murder to dissect.

Wordsworth

You are so part of the world that your slightest action contributes to its reality. Your breath changes the atmosphere. Your encounters with others alter the fabrics of their lives, and the lives of those who come in contact with them.

Jane Roberts

To be weak is miserable.

Doing or suffering.

John Milton

You are all creatures of light.

From light have you come,

to light you shall go,

and surrounding you through every step

is the light of your infinite being."

Richard Bach

Let the world change, Let the times change...but if I change,

may my God turn against me"
