The pen will never be able to move fast enough to write down every word discovered in the space of memory. Some things have been lost forever, other things will perhaps be remembered again, and still other things have been lost and found and lost again. There is no way to be sure of any this.

A story is not like a road to follow ? it's more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows. And you, the visitor, the reader, are altered as well by being in this enclosed space, whether it is ample and easy or full of crooked turns, or sparsely or opulently furnished. You can go back again and again, and the house, the story, always contains more than you saw the last time. It also has a sturdy sense of itself of being built out of its own necessity, not just to shelter or beguile you.

Any writer worth his salt writes to please himself...It's a self-exploratory operation that is endless. An exorcism of not necessarily his demon, but of his divine discontent.

A story is a letter that the author writes to himself, to tell himself things that he would be unable to discover otherwise.

People too weak to follow their own dreams will always try to discourage yours.

Life is not a quest. It's a voyage of discovery. An expedition through yourself and life.

If you are feeling lost in Life, celebrate. Because only when you are lost, can you find your true Self and discover true Happiness!

Acknowledge the goodness in life for there you will find happiness. Live in the present for there is the path to a worthwhile life. Seek out your options for there you will discover the best choice. - Lucinda, Blackhorse Road

Down fall of a man is never the end of his life but the very foundation which he can build his life, if he do not get discouraged.

If you feel an unquenchable thirst in you, welcome it. Celebrate it. In children, this thirst presents itself as curiosity. In adolescents, it appears as a search for love, for belonging. In young adults, it manifests itself as a search for worldly success, validation, recognition and acceptance in society. And when you are past your mid-30s...latest by your 40s...it appears as a search for meaning. Slowly, if you are tuned, and are in sync with the energy that created you, you discover something magical! You awaken to the truth that Life is intrinsically meaningless. And bringing meaning to your Life is your responsibility. You do that by following your Bliss, by choosing not to postpone your Happiness!

I followed all the advice my mind could compute and digested it to the best of my ability. I'd run, work out, eat healthy, and then swallow a fifth of whiskey. The man cave below my home began to look like a recycling center for Crown Royal and Jack Daniels distilleries. I discovered that empty whiskey bottles made an eerily satisfying thud when stacked up like cordwood. The sturdy glass was much thicker and stronger than my own skin, and I admired their resilience to outside forces.

What then, had I discovered? That there is nobody so duplicitous as oneself? That certainty is nothing but unreasonable belief? That there can be no answer to death? That there should be no answer to it, at least not for the living? That we have in all of us, written into our very matter, an unpassable divide; and if there is a bridge between this world and the next, then surely there is only one toll to pay.

"One thing is for sure.. we all pay for our sins in this very life.. i have been paying for my sins, not sure if there's some or much more left to pay.. remember, you don't get to choose the sentence and there are no discounts & deals..

Science teaches us to question, analyze, research, reason and believe. Spirituality teaches us to question, seek, understand, accept and realize. It is never about which one is more superior. Both are based on intuition. No scientific discovery has been possible without an intuitive leap. And spiritual progress is not possible without an intuitive quest. Both disciplines show us the way to learn and evolve in Life.

Life is a continuous process of self-discovery?

Determine what your motivation is once you discover that driving force than you'll become focused on the process.

In LIFE, many of us are trying to discover who we are and what life really means to us. The truth is "Life isn't about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself.

When we avoid difficult conversations, we trade short-term discomfort for long-term dysfunction.

Discomfort in the face of truth, is a reflection of the underlying lies.

Yoga is a lifelong journey to discover yourself and your inner beauty.

Do not be encouraged by the world's praise; do not be discouraged by the world's slander.

Often in the waves of change, we discover our true direction.

I knew long ago and rediscovered that the best way to attract attention,help,and conversation is to be lost.A man who seeing his mother starving to death on a path kicks her in the stomach to clear the way, will cheerfully devote several hours of his time giving wrong directions to a total stranger who claims to be lost

I now see my life, not as a slow shaping of achievment to fit my preconceived purposes, but as the gradual discovery of a purpose which I did not know.
