Oneness Quotes (page 698)

You cannot convince people to love you. This is an absolute rule. No one will ever give you love because you want him or her to give it. Real love moves freely in both directions. Don’t waste your time on anything else. Cheryl Strayed
Guillaume Apollinaire quote: "Six mirrors keep staring at one another("Monday rue Christine")"
Six mirrors keep staring at one another("Monday rue Christine") Guillaume Apollinaire
There was a leap of joy in him, like a flame lighting up in a dark lantern. At this moment he believed it was worth it. This moment of supreme beauty was worth all the wretchedness of the journey. It was always worth it. "For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory." It was the central truth of existence, and all men knew it, though they might not know that they knew it. Each man followed his own star through so much... Elizabeth Goudge
Nothing is free. Everything has to be payed for. For every profit in one thing, payment in some other thing. For every life, a death. Even your music, of which we have heard so much, that had to be payed for. Your wife was the payment for your music. Hell is now satisfied. Ted Hughes

They had never been closer in their month of love, nor communicated more profoundly one with another F. Scott Fitzgerald
...that was the way human beings are; they love to be told what to do, but they love even more to fight and not do what they are told, and thus they get entangled in hating the one who told them in the first place. Carlos Castaneda
First she said we were to keep clear of the Sirens, who sit and sing most beautifully in a field of flowers; but she said I might hear them myself so long as no one else did. Therefore, take me and bind me to the crosspiece half way up the mast; bind me as I stand upright, with a bond so fast that I cannot possibly break away, and lash the rope's ends to the mast itself. If I beg and pray you to set me free, then bind me more tightly still. Homer
And therefore it is so important to be solitary and heedful when we are sad: because the seemingly uneventful and inflexible moment when our future sets foot in us stands so much nearer to life than that other noisy and fortuitous instant when it happens to us as if from without. The more patient, quiet and open we are in our sorrowing, the more deeply and the more unhesitatingly will the new thing enter us, the better shall we deserve it, the more will it be our own destiny, and when one day... Rainer Maria Rilke
The thing is, it's really hard to be roommates with people if your suitcases are much better than theirs--if yours are really good ones and theirs aren't. You think if they're intelligent and all, the other person, and have a good sense of humor, that they don't give a damn whose suitcases are better, but they do. They really do. J. D. Salinger
Inasmuch as every judge some day ends up as a penitent, one had to travel the road in the opposite direction and practice the profession of penitent to be able to end up as a judge. Albert Camus
From the idea that the self is not given to us, I think there is only one practical consequence: we have to create ourselves as a work of art. Michel Foucault
Albert Camus quote: "A practical rule: a man which is wise in one area may be silly..."
A practical rule: a man which is wise in one area may be silly in others. Albert Camus
Norton Juster quote: "Sometimes I find the best way of getting from one place to..."
Sometimes I find the best way of getting from one place to another is simply to erase everything and begin again. Norton Juster
She was one of those writers, far from rare in the world of letters, who suppose that push and pull are an adequate substitute for talent... W. Somerset Maugham
He said when he went to sell a man a flue, he asked first about that man's wife's health and how his children were. He said he had a book that he kept thenames of his customers' families and what was wrong with them. A man's wife had cancer, he put her name down in the book and wrote 'cancer' after it and inquired about her every time he went to that man's hardware store until she died; then he scratched out the word 'cancer' and wrote 'dead' there. "And I say thank God when they're dead,"... Flannery O'Connor
