Quote by Hunter Murphy

“There was a warm breeze blowing in the car as they passed the mansions in the Garden District and they could smell the sweet aroma of the night-blooming jasmine. Soft light fell on the neutral ground along the streetcar tracks.”

“In your life too, the interplay of ego and essence is at work, Shadow and light are part of your nature. In your heart, there is that duality. Pride and deep truth, are together, in you. In your soul, the story of you, as the hero, is softly spun, Witness even in mundane acts, grandeur’s seeds are sown. Your daily deeds, though small, are never done, In every breath, your true, victorious self is shown. At times unseen in day’s bright, blinding light, You shine with fierce resolve past night’s embrace, Is this a humble life – in silence’s might? Perhaps. Though, maybe, you calmly shape the world, and time, and space.”

“Liebes Fräulein, ich kenne Sie noch nicht. Trotzdem, oder vielleicht gerade deswegen, möchte ich Ihnen für den Umgang mit Menschen eine Arbeitshypothese anvertrauen, die sich bewährt hat. Es handelt sich um eine Theorie, die nicht richtig zu sein braucht. Aber sie führt in der Praxis zu verwendbaren Ergebnissen." "Und wie lautet Ihre Hypothese?" "Man halte hier jeden Menschen, mit Ausnahme der Kinder und Greise, bevor das Gegenteil nicht unwiderleglich bewiesen ist, für verrückt. Richten Sie sich danach, Sie werden bald erfahren, wie nützlich der Satz sein kann. "Soll ich bei Ihnen damit beginnen?", fragte sie. "Ich bitte darum", meinte er.”

“O.K., so I'm not so smart. I'm working class. But it's the working class that keeps the world running, and it's the working class that gets exploited. What the hell kind of revolution have you got just tossing out big words that working-class people can't understand? What the hell kind of social revolution is that? I mean, I'd like to make the world a better place, too. If somebody's really being exploited, we've got to put a stop to it. That's what I believe, and that's why I ask questions.”

“Consider undertaking the vows and practice of a Bodhisattva. In taking these vows you will join with the hundreds of thousands of Buddhists in the west and millions in Asia who have done so. As is traditional, you might seek out a Buddhist center or temple and take the Bodhisattva vow in the presence of a teacher. Or, if you cannot do so, you can take them at home. Create a sacred space and place there the images of Bodhisattvas or Buddhas who have gone before you. If you wish, invite a friend or friends to be your witness. Sit quietly for a time and reflect on the beauty and value of a life dedicated to the benefit of all. When you are ready, add any meaningful ritual, the lighting of candles, the taking of refuge. Then recite your vows. Here is one traditional version, but there are many others: Suffering beings are numberless, I vow to liberate them all. Attachment is inexhaustible, I vow to release it all. The gates to truth are numberless, I vow to master them all. The way of awakening is supreme, I vow to realize… You can modify the language of these vows so that they speak your deepest dedication. Then you can repeat them every time you sit in meditation, to direct and dedicate your practice.”

“Mustafa Kemal yüksekçe bir yere yürüdü. Durdu.. Askerlerine baktı. Soluk şafak ışığında binlerce çelik süngü ve demir yüz parlıyordu. Subaylar ve askerler de alacakaranlık içinde hayal gibi görünen komutana bakıyorlardı. Mustafa Kemal kırbacını havaya kaldırdı, bir süre öyle tuttu, bütün birlikler görmüş olmalıydı, hızla indirdi. Subaylar yüreklerini yerinden koparırcasına haykırdılar: 'Haydiiii! Askerlik tarihinde bir daha eşine rastlanmayacak olan büyük süngü hücumu başladı. Binlerce subay ve asker, tek bir beden gibi hızla ileri atıldı. Lav gibi aktı. Yer gök subayların ve Mehmetçiklerin savaş çığlıkları ile sarsılmaktaydı: 'Allah Allah Allah Allah Allah...”
