“Nothing stays the same, light of truth, genuine changes. Act when time is right. Chirping harridans. Remember how rumours start. Evil backstabbing. Manipulators: commit libel and slander. Their evil hearts rot. Exercise restraint. Choose carefully whom you trust. Silence is golden. Silence is broken: defy many abuses. Don't be their doormat. Chirping happy birds. Blue skies uplift many hearts. Honest hearts sing best. ~ Angelica Hopes, Life Unfolds”

“I was raised to be honest, but the truth can be complicated. It doesn't matter if the truth won't make a mess, sometimes the words don't come out until you're alone. Even that's not guaranteed. Sometimes the truth is a secret you're keeping from yourself because living a lie is easier.”

“If I feel like giving something to you and you feel like taking it, I should give and you should take. It's as simple as that. If you humbly say 'No', next time I will offer you something without intention of giving it expecting a humble 'No' from you. We human beings have become so 'civilised' that our words and intentions have stopped matching.”

“The disease of the soul is both more common and more deadly than the disease of the body. Just as medicine is the art devoted to healing the body, so philosophy is the art devoted to healing the soul, curing it of improper emotions, false beliefs, and faulty judgments, which are the causes of so much hardship and handicap. To heal the body one turns to the practitioner of the art of healing the body, but to heal the soul there is no doctor to turn to, and each of us is left to become that doctor unto himself. Yet, this need not stop us from exhorting others to imitate us in the godly art, in the forlorn hope that they might transform themselves into better citizens for Athens and better companions for us.”
