“Give up defining yourself ― to yourself or to others. You won’t die; you will come to life… and don’t be concerned with how others define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it’s their problem. Whenever you interact with people, don’t be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious presence. You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.”

— Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose (via from528withlove)

“Why did you invent poetry?” Dionysus asked Apollo, filling his goblet with wine once more. Apollo took a sip “Why did you invent wine?” Dionysus looked at his own goblet, thinking of the ruby liquid within it and answered thoughtfully, “It makes the world slightly sweeter and adds a little madness where there was none. But mostly, to be intoxicated and in love.” Apollo smiled, “Now you know why I crafted poetry. It makes the world a little easier to love.”
