“Claiming to love self, but willingly default to cheating at the first sign of trouble is nothing short of playing yourself. Your ego may feel avenged - temporarily - but your heart and soul, the true self, will suffer the long term affects of karma's justifiable sting.”
― T.F. Hodge, From Within I Rise: Spiritual Triumph over Death and Conscious Encounters With the Divine Presence

“Understanding RELATIONSHIPS â€�
If I have something to share, however, I didn’t share it with you because you didn’t ask me. It means I DON’T TRUST YOU.
Even if you didn’t ask me, I still shared it with you, giving my trust to you. However, you shared it with the entire world. It means YOU ARE UNTRUSTWORTHY.
I know what you know, however, when I asked you, you lied to me. It means YOU ARE DISHONEST.
LOVE and AFFECTION are two essential elements of HUMAN RELATIONSHIP. However, whether you deserve my LOVE and AFFECTION or not is based on your TRUSTWORTHINESS and HONESTY.”
― Sanjeev Himachali

“Repetimos essas frases muitas vezes, não é?
Que frases?
Tenho de ir. Estou com alguma pressa. Tenho coisas para fazer.
Não percebo.
Parece que o lugar onde estamos nunca é suficientemente agradável. Deixa-me lá ver se acolá se está melhor. E, quando lá chegamos, percebemos afinal que a vida estava a acontecer onde estávamos. Mas agora já estamos acolá e não podemos regressar, porque a vida também acontece acolá.”
― João Tordo, O Luto de Elias Gro

“Compreendera então, julgo, a natureza da minha situação. A solidão de um é amenizada pela solidão de outro, e deste modo, mesmo na miséria, existe uma espécie de partilha, de comunhão, a que não se pode dar o nome de alegria mas algo como um encolher de ombros. O estudante franzino fora durante os meus primeiros meses de isolamento esse encolher de ombros, a minha resignação perante a brutalidade daquilo que me acontecera. Que ele tivesse alguém e eu não perturbava-me, colocava um entrave à nossa amizade, um ponto final no nosso monólogo. De uma certa maneira que não sei explicar senão com palavras incoerentes, até então tinha sido como se eu tivesse dado um passo ao lado que me tivesse feito sair do mundo, um pequeno passo discreto e silencioso de retirada. Após essa noite, o mundo notou a minha falta e deu também ele um passo ao lado, mas um passo do mundo é muito maior do que um passo dos nossos, e num certo sentido eu fiquei atrás das coisas, deslocado.”

“If you think you are easily irritated by people, guess what? You irritate other people easily too!”
― Olumide Lawrence

“You've got to keep the people who make you feel unalone. You can be surrounded by a tribe and still feel alone; but you can be with just one person and feel unalone. Do you realise how rare it is to feel unalone in your soul? It is the entire answer to being here! So why are you not keeping these extremely rare people or person? Why do you instead run after pictures in your mind of how things should be? If you have found unaloneness, you keep it, you need to keep it.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“Concluo, aos sessenta e três anos, que ninguém tem direito a reclamar a vida de outro ou o seu modo de pensar. Reclamam agora a minha vida e o meu modo de pensar; e quem o faz? Os meus amigos, os fiéis conhecidos, a gente que outrora me abraçou e que prescinde hoje da minha presença e me excomunga. Continuar alinhado? Em nome do quê, em nome de quem? Como posso continuar a acreditar e a achar que estávamos certos quando tudo em nosso redor, ao longo dos anos, nos demonstrou que estávamos errados? Tanto como esta crise mostrou estar errado o actual estado das coisas? [...] Como esperam que continue, na minha cabeça, a reescrever a História e a silenciar-me sobre tudo aquilo que é considerado anátema? Como esperam que continue a engolir propaganda, venha ela de onde vier? Continuar alinhado? Em nome de quê, em nome de quem?”

“If you want to appeal to someone's ego, treat them as the most important person you have ever met. If you want to appeal to someone's soul, approach and interact with them in total love and acceptance.”
― Frank Healy

“Pretendingâ€�,' she looked at the garden, 'is not the truth.'
'But you said two true things, right ? One, you hate this girl. Two, you want her to feel better. If you decide that the wanting truth's more important than the hating truth, just tell her you've forgiven her, even if you haven't. At least she'd feel better. Maybe that'd make you feel better too.'
Madame Crommelynck studied her hands, moodily, both sides. 'Sophistry', she pronounced.
I'm not sure what 'sophistry' means so I kept shtum.”
― David Mitchell

“What emerged for me as purpose was the search for and cultivation of possibilities for experiencing meaningful human transactions in different languages and across cultural differences through play, sports, travel, food, literature, and conversation. I sought to establish relations of mutual understanding and love with people no matter what their culture or place of origin in the world—relations based on philia, eros, and agape, according to context and persons. I perhaps sensed instinctively that such relations were the key to being equally at home everywhere, even in la Yunai. More than an immigrant, at that time I still felt myself to be a sojourner in this country, but I wanted my sojourn to be imbued with the meaning found in earnest, sincere connections with the people and places that life brought to my experience.”

“Ä°kisinin içinde de hem uzun zaman sonra tekrar görüşmenin verdiÄŸi bir memnuniyet,hem de belki bir daha görüşmeyeceklerini sezmekten doÄŸan bir hüzün vardı. Hayat, birbirinden ayırdıklarını, kısa bir müddet için tekrar yaklaÅŸtırır gibi olsa bile, uzun zaman yan yana bırakmıyordu. Geçen günleri bir daha geri getirmek mümkün deÄŸildi ve sadece hatıralar, iki insanı birbirine baÄŸlayacak kadar kuvvetli deÄŸildi.”
― Sabahattin Ali, Kuyucaklı Yusuf

“Driving in someone elses lane is easy, but remaining in your own seems to be the most challenging self discipline. No matter how big the highway, imagine yours is a singular road traveled in one direction - you're own.”
― T.F. Hodge, From Within I Rise: Spiritual Triumph over Death and Conscious Encounters With the Divine Presence

“If no one knew them well enough to trust them, then no one was going to speak with them, then they would never get the information that would have warned them to be cautious.”
― T.K. Naliaka, Iron Mixed with Sand Salt without Memory

“MARRIAGE IS NOT AN EVENT. Marriage is a journey. A journey that begins from the very day you hold hands of one another to walk together rest of your journey. During the journey, you LAUGH together; CRY together; care for one another, pacify each other, and you create a new world for yourself. You walk together during all seasons. You share your JOY and you share your PAIN. You continue to walk together until time parts you away.”
― Sanjeev Himachali

“Most of my writing has been concerned with understanding between people. Whether of different races, or religions, or even in the same family I tried in my books...to deal with the subject of understanding the other fellow.”

“The biology teacher had assured the class just the other day that parents were an absolute necessity, but you had to wonder. Was sex the only way nature could devise to bring the higher orders' next generation into the world?”
― Eve Adams, The Garden of Eden - Cancelled

“By their very nature, human beings are so capricious, so complex, so delightfully contradictory, that they deserve not only our consideration, but our reconsideration - and our unwavering determination to withhold our opinion until we have engaged with them in every possible setting at every possible hour.”
― Amor Towles, A Gentleman in Moscow

“Betapa mengerikannya kini manusia yang satu bagi yang lain. Tak bisa diselami, tak bisa benar-benar dimengerti. Masing-masing menyimpan monster bagi yang lain. O, hal yg paling mengerikan di dunia ternyata adalah berhubungan dengan orang lain!”
