“It's like one of those summer nights with your friends by the ocean. You're drinking straight from the bottle, singing the memories of the best years and for just that night you're infinite. You're exactly where you're supposed to be. There is no future. You have earned the present.
And I'm taking trains to nowhere, hoping to be able to hold on to these few moments on stage every night. And I'm thinking that I'm me,
and this very moment,
I'm actually okay with that.”
― Charlotte Eriksson, Empty Roads & Broken Bottles: in search for The Great Perhaps

“Oh, there had been divorced Presidents, even, late in the twentieth century, one who had survived a White House divorce to the extent of being re-elected. Of course old Gus Time hadn't made any mistake in the marital department. Sixty years of wedded bliss. The grin came and went. Old fox! They said when he was in his early twenties and so new in Washington he still smacked of the boondocks, he had cast his eyes around all the Washington wives: he picked Senator Black's wife Olive for her beauty, her brains, her organizational genius and her relish of public life, then simply stole her from the Senator. It worked, though she was thirteen years older than he. She was the greatest First Lady the country had ever known. But behind the scenes - Oh man, what a tartar! Not that he had ever heard old Gus complain. The public lion was perfectly content to be a private mouse. Gus do this, Gus don't do that - and he was so lost when she died that he abandoned Washington the moment her funeral was over, went to live in his home state of Iowa and died himself not two months later.”

Wait the great teacher Death; and God adore.
What future bliss, he gives not thee to know,
But gives that hope to be thy blessing now.”

“This is the trait constituting the soulful, inner, higher ideal which enters here in place of the quiet grandeur and independence of the figures of antiquity. The gods of the classical ideal too do not lack a trait of mourning, of a fateful negative, present in the cold necessity imprinted on these serene figures, but still, in their independent divinity and freedom, they retain an assurance of their simple grandeur and power. But their freedom is not the freedom of that love which is soulful and deeply felt because this depends on a relation of soul to soul, spirit to spirit. This depth of feeling kindles the ray of bliss present in the heart, that ray of a love which in sorrow and its supreme loss does not feel sang-froid or any sort of comfort, but the deeper it suffers yet in suffering still finds the sense and certainty of love and shows in grief that it has overcome itself within and by itself. It is only the religious love of romanticism which has an expression of bliss and freedom.

This oneness and satisfaction is in its nature spiritually concrete because it is what is felt by the spirit which knows itself in another as at one with itself. Here therefore if the subject-matter portrayed is to be complete, it must have two aspects because love necessarily implies a double character in the spiritual personality. It rests on two independent persons who yet have a sense of their unity; but there is always linked with this unity at the same time the factor of the negative. Love is a matter of subjective feeling, but the subject which feels is this self-subsistent heart which, in order to love, must desist from itself, abandon itself, and sacrifice the inflexible focus of its own private personality. This sacrifice is what is moving in the love that lives and feels only in this self-surrender. Yet on this account a person in this sacrifice still retains his own self and in the very cancelling of his independence acquires a precisely affirmative independence. Nevertheless, in the sense of this oneness and its supreme happiness there still remains left the negative factor, the moving sense not so much of sacrifice as rather of the undeserved bliss of feeling independent and at unity with self in spite of all the self-surrender. The moving emotion is the sense of the dialectical contradiction of having sacrificed one’s personality and yet of being independent at the same time; this contradiction is ever present in love and ever resolved in it. So far as concerns the particular human individual personality in this depth of feeling, the unique love which affords bliss and an enjoyment of heaven rises above time and the particular individuality of that character which becomes a matter of indifference. in the pure ray of bliss which has just been described, particular individuality is superseded: in the sight of God all men are equal, or piety, rather, makes them all actually equal so that the only thing of importance is the expression of that concentration of love which needs neither happiness nor any particular single object. It is true that religious love too cannot exist without specific individuals who have some other sphere of existence apart from this feeling. But here the strictly ideal content is provided by the soulful depth of spiritual feeling which does not have its expression and actuality in the particular difference of a character with its talent, relationships, and fates, but is rather raised above these.”
― Hegel Georg Wilhelm Friedric 1770-1831

“What birds plunge through is not the intimate space
in which you see all forms intensified.
(Out in the Open, you would be denied
your self, would disappear into that vastness.)

Space reaches from us and construes the world:
to know a tree, in its true element,
throw inner space around it, from that pure
abundance in you. Surround it with restraint.
It has no limits. Not till it is held
in your renouncing is it truly there.

(Durch den sich Vögel werfen, ist nicht der
vertraute Raum, der die Gestalt dir steigert.
(Im Freien, dorten, bist du dir verweigert
und schwindest weiter ohne Wiederkehr.)

Raum greift aus uns und übersetzt die Dinge:
daß dir das Dasein eines Baums gelinge,
wirf Innenraum um ihn, aus jenem Raum,
der in dir west. Umgib ihn mit Verhaltung.
Er grenzt sich nicht. Erst in der Eingestaltung
in dein Verzichten wird er wirklich Baum.)”
― Rainer Maria Rilke

“Be one with yourself and revel in eternal bliss.”

“When you smell that, how do you... how do you process that? Is it just a list of chemicals?'
'I'm not sure. I'll find out.'
Sidra took the tin, manoeuvred it to the kit's nose, and pulled in air.
The image was there without warning, leaping to the front of all other external input - a sleeping cat, sprawled on its back in a puddle of sunlight, fur mussed, pink toes splayed sweetly - then gone, just as fast.”
― Becky Chambers

“The fountain of bliss is not outside, it's within.”
― Tonmoy Acharjee

“There will be many reasons to be angry or agitated, but one reason to have inner peace is enough to prevent that.”
― Tonmoy Acharjee

“Conviction is an inside job. It is a very personal feeling. It is intuitive. You can’t explain it. Words will fail you. And it is your Bliss that fuels your conviction. Your Bliss will drive you to take decisions, make choices, convince people and it will draw you into its fold…into a beautiful, magical space where logic hardly matters or prevails!”
― AVIS Viswanathan

“From the human body the life-power separates, comes up, accumulates and transforms into mental plane with pure faculty of seeing God’s light in him as well as in the outer world. This transformation goes on till it turns into Bliss. It is emanation and manifestation of God with attributes in the body â€� Saguna Brahma.”
― Sri jibankrishna or Diamond

“When your Bliss comes calling, you have a huge responsibility: you must trust the process of Life! You have to let go of whatever you are clinging on to and go with the flow of Life. It may be scary, even unnerving, at times, but this is what makes Life fun. So, think of it as romance, celebrate its raw beauty, that sense of uncertainty…Remember, only an unscripted adventure can offer you this quality of inner peace and joy â€� pure and immersive!”
― AVIS Viswanathan

“Don’t feed your insecurities, your fears, your worries. Invest your time, attention, energy and resources only in your Happiness, in what makes you truly come alive. Remember, this is the only Life you have!”

“She pointed at Eva's sundae. "At least try it. Wilson's has the best. You can't say you've been to Door County unless you've had their ice cream."
Eva scraped off a bite of whipped cream and ate it. She paused to enjoy the sweetened topping. It had been a long time since she'd had ice cream. She took a bigger spoonful, one that had butterscotch and marshmallow on it. Bliss.”
― Amy E. Reichert, The Simplicity of Cider

“When you are coping with a challenging phase in Life, try this approach. Do all that you possibly, and practically, can in the given context, even if you don’t like doing such stuff. And then pour your heart into your art, into whatever you love doing. Do this daily. Soon, you will train your mind to go with the flow. That’s really how you learn to go with the flow. One day at a time, slowly, surelyâ€�”
― AVIS Viswanathan

“Life is intrinsically meaningless. Because you came with nothing and you will go with nothing. But you can bring meaning to your Life by doing something that makes you come alive, anything that makes you enthusiastic about the process of living. This is what living purposefully is all about, doing what you love, doing what can make this a better world.”
― AVIS Viswanathan

“The beautiful life, full of bliss.”
― Lailah Gifty Akita

“Follow life's bliss.”
― Adrienne Posey

“Any activity that can make you forget who you are, forget your worries, your frustration, your suffering, that activity alone can give you Happiness. There may be a few that do it to you. But the deepest level of immersion can be attained often only in that one activity â€� that which is your Bliss! Your Bliss always aligns you with the Energy that created you, which is why words will fail you when you try to describe it…You can only experience Bliss, it is a feeling like no other…you must live it. After all, you only have this one Life!”
― AVIS Viswanathan

“Bliss can â€� and will â€� never lead you astray. When you follow your Bliss, you sure may face challenges, there may be pain, but you will not be unhappy. On the other hand, if you resist your Bliss, choosing not to do what you love doing â€� not only will Life be challenging, but it will also be intensely unhappy…making you feel low, depressed and causing you a lot of grief, misery and suffering. Think: what if you had challenges and were happy facing them? Well, that is the biggest benefit of following your Bliss. Simply, you cannot go wrong with Happiness.”
― AVIS Viswanathan

“My heart is like a blank sheet.
And I draw something sweet.
Sometimes it's a growing bliss
To keep blowing a tender kiss!

ao mergulhar num mar de coisas pra fazer!”
