“This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.”

“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I will meet you there.”

“Observe the wonders as they occur around you. Don't claim them. Feel the artistry moving through and be silent.”

“Something opens our wings. Something makes boredom and hurt disappear. Someone fills the cup in front of us: We taste only sacredness.”

"Having found no self that is not other, the seeker must find that there is no other that is not self, so that in the absence of both other and self, there may be known the perfect peace, of the presence of absolute absence."

I love the sufi poets, hafiz & rumi....sorry if any of these are repeats:

"The Happy Virus"

I caught the happy virus last night

When I was out singing beneath the stars.

It is remarkably contagious -

So kiss me.

"An Astronomical Question"


What

Would

Happen if God leaned down


And gave you a full wet

Kiss?


Hafiz

Doesn't mind answering astronomical questions

Like that:


You would surely start

Reciting all day, inebriated,


Rogue-poems

Like

This.

(both by hafiz)

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.  When it gives you potatoes, make vodka.
--Russian proverb

Sometimes the appropriate response to reality is to go insane.
--Philip K. Dick

One day I had an extraordinarily profound experience, one more "real" than I had ever had. I experienced the fact that some day I was going to die, And just before I died, two things would happen: One, I would regret my entire life; Two, I would want to live my life over again, and then I would die.
--Hubert Selby Jr.

Freedom is the recognition of necessity.
--Hegel

Death is nothing to us; for that which is dissolved, is without sensation, and that which lacks sensation is nothing to us.
--Epicurus

In my experience, some of the most successful relationships are based on lies and deceit...since that's where they end up anyway, it's a logical place to start.
--Yuri Orlov

Every now and then when your life gets complicated and the weasels start closing in, the only cure is to load up on heinous chemicals and then drive like a bastard from Hollywood to Las Vegas ... with the music at top volume and at least a pint of ether.
--Hunter S. Thompson

Few men think, yet all have opinions.
--Berkeley

If a man wishes to rid himself of a feeling of unbearable oppression, he may have to take to hashish.
--Nietzsche

There are no differences but differences of degree between different degrees of difference and no difference. --William James, reflecting on Hegel after inhaling N2O.

Count no man happy till he dies, free of pain at last.
--Sophocles

One should not be too right if one wants to have those who laugh on one's side; a grain of wrong actually belongs to good taste.
--Nietzsche

The surest poison is time.
--Emerson

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
--Shakespeare

A wise fish never goes anywhere without a porpoise.
--Lewis Caroll

One may be asked whether there is not a conflict between this development of the Will and Ethics.
The answer is Yes.
--Aleister Crowley

Birth is sorrow; life is sorrow; sorrowful are old age, disease, and death; but resurrection is the greatest misery of all.
--Buddha

It is easier to cope with a bad conscience than with a bad reputation.
--Nietzsche

Thou owest God a death.
--William Shakespeare

The point of philosophy is to start with something so simple as not to seem worth stating, and to end with something so paradoxical that no one will believe it.
--Bertrand Russell

Why couldn't the world that concerns us--be a fiction?  And if somebody asked, "but to be a fiction there surely belongs an author?"--couldn't one answer simply: why? Doesn't this "belongs" perhaps belong to the fiction, too?
--Nietzsche

One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the dark conscious.
--Carl Jung

Blessed is the lion which becomes man when consumed by man; and cursed is the man whom the lion consumes, and lion becomes man.
--Jesus Christ

The ruler of the world is Whirlwind, that hath unseated Zeus.
--Aristophanes

A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.
--Thomas Jefferson

Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.
--H.L. Mencken

It is proof of a base and low mind for one to wish to think with the masses or majority, merely because the majority is the majority. Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people.
--Giordano Bruno

All things were together.  Then mind came and arranged them.
--Anaxagoras

In reality we know nothing - for truth is in the depths.
--Democritus

A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.
--Max Planck

Death may be the greatest of all human blessings.
--Socrates

I am a part of that force that would always desire the evil, yet always work the good.
--Goethe

Once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
--Arthur Conan Doyle

The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.
--William Blake

He who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god.
--Aristotle

"All those pathetically eager acid freaks who thought they could buy Peace and Understanding for three bucks a hit. But their loss and failure is ours, too. What Leary took down with him was the central illusion of a whole life-style that he helped to create . . . a generation of permanent cripples, failed seekers, who never understood the essential old mystic fallacy of the Acid Culture: the desperate assumption that somebody—or at least some force—is tending the Light at the end of the tunnel. This is the same cruel and paradoxically benevolent bullshit that has kept the Catholic Church going for so many centuries. It is also the military ethic . . . a blind faith in some higher and wiser 'authority.' The Pope, The General, The Prime Minister . . . all the way up to 'God.'" -- Hunter Thompson

F. Forrester Church:

    Religion is the human response to being alive and having to die.

Felix Adler:

    Religion is a wizard, a sibyl . . .
    She faces the wreck of worlds, and prophesies restoration.
    She faces a sky blood-red with sunset colours that deepen into darkness, and prophesies dawn.
    She faces death, and prophesies life.



All our knowledge merely helps us to die a more painful death than animals that know nothing.  ~Maurice Maeterlinck


To himself everyone is immortal; he may know that he is going to die, but he can never know that he is dead.  ~Samuel Butler

If devotion to truth is the hallmark of morality, then there is no greater, nobler, more heroic form of devotion than the act of a man who assumes the responsibility of thinking...the alleged short-cut to knowledge, which is faith, is only a short-circuit destroying the mind.--Ayn Rand

On some positions, Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' And Vanity comes along and asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But Conscience asks the question 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must do it because Conscience tells him it is right.--Martin Luther King, Jr
