Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better taking things as they come along with patience and equanimity.
If one does not understand a person, one tends to regard him as a fool.
The greatest and most important problems of life are all fundamentally insoluble. They can never be solved but only outgrown.
The most intense conflicts, if overcome, leave behind a sense of security and calm that is not easily disturbed. It is just these intense conflicts and their conflagration which are needed to produce valuable and lasting results.
The pendulum of the mind alternates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong.
“Love comes when manipulation stops; when you think more about the other person than about his or her reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable.”
If given a chance, would you have done things differently?
