“There are moments in our lives, there are moments in a day, when we seem to see beyond the usual- become clairvoyant. We reach then into reality. Such are the moments of our greatest happiness. Such are the moments of our greatest wisdom. It is in the nature of all people to have these experiences; but in our time and under the conditions of our lives, it is only a rare few who are able to continue in the experience and find expression for it.” ― Robert Henri, The Art Spirit

The Clown's Prayer As I stumble through this life, help me to create more laughter than tears, dispense more happiness than gloom, spread more cheer than despair. Never let me become so indifferent that I will fail to see the wonder in the eyes of a child or the twinkle in the eyes of the aged. Never let me forget that my total effort is to cheer people, make them happy and forget - at least momentarily - all the unpleasantness in their lives. And, in my final moment, may I hear You whisper: ‘When you made My people smile, you made Me smile.’

The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine. - Mike Murdock

[petitjeanofficial]

Vandaag hetzelfde voelen als gisteren is geen voelen – dat is zich vandaag herinneren wat men gisteren voelde, vandaag het levende lijk zijn van wat gisteren het verloren leven was. Van dag tot dag alles op het bord uitwissen, nieuw zijn als elke nieuwe dageraad, in een voortdurende hermaagdelijking van de emotie – dat en dat alleen is de moeite waard om te zijn of te hebben, om te zijn of te hebben wat we onvolmaakt zijn.

- Fernando Pessoa (HET BOEK DER RUSTELOOSHEID, p. 70-71)

Falling in love with yourself means falling out of step with the rapid pace of the world. Learning the unique pace of your own feral body and treating it like God. - Emma Lumé

[petitjeanofficial]

Don’t underestimate the value of doing nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can’t hear, and not bothering. ― A.A. Milne

This, I thought, is how great visionaries and poets see everything…. as if for the first time. Each morning they see a new world before their eyes; they do not really see it, they create it.

- Nikos Kazantzakis

De Plek Je moet niet alleen, om de plek te bereiken, thuis opstappen, maar ook uit manieren van kijken. Er is niets te zien, en dat moet je zien om alles bij het zeer oude te laten. Er is hier. Er is tijd om overmorgen iets te hebben achtergelaten. Daar moet je vandaag voor zorgen. Voor sterfelijkheid. — Herman de Coninck
