“Resist the temptation to think what afflicts you is peculiar to you. Have faith that what is in your consciousness can be communicated to the consciousness of all. And is, in many cases, already there.”

“I have come to believe that if history were recorded by the vanquished rather than the victors, it would illuminate the real, rather than the theoretical, means to power; for it is the defeated who know best which of the opposing tactics were irresistible.

Walking great distances has never been extreme behavior to me. It has forever helped me regain my equilibrium, and I would always rather do the existentially important things in my life on foot. If you want to propose marriage to your girlfriend and you live in England and she is in Sicily, do the decent thing and walk down there. Traveling by car or aeroplane wouldn't be right at such a moment.

had an encounter recently where i got angry and person kept implying that it was outside my character as if she wanted me to feel shame. never. I’m allowed to be as wild tongued as I am tender hearted, I’m allowed to forgive and be merciless. beauty of Being is that all exist in me synchronously.

wholly believe this is something that triggers crises and even diseases in people, when they feel anything contradictory or incongruent with what’s “good”, they swallow it as if it’ll be digested and excreted. whole time, it festers in every organ. so no, find somebody else to condemn to a life of uniformity
