“Surely if living creatures saw the results of all their evil deeds, they would turn away from them in disgust. But selfhood blinds them, and they cling to their obnoxious desires. They crave pleasure for themselves and they cause pain to others; when death destroys their individuality, they find no peace; their thirst for existence abides and their selfhood reappears in new births. Thus they continue to move in the coil and can find no escape from the hell of their own making.” IfsPainMovingDesireTurnsEvilCausesPleasureResultsExistenceHellSawsBirthCreaturesIndividualityDeedsKarmaDisgustingThirstCraveLiving CreaturesObnoxious Author:Gautama Buddha

“It's Steven's [Sebring] view of what he saw in traveling and working with me. But on another scale, I think the film [Dream of Life] is very humanistic: It touches on motherhood, death, birth, art, laundry, anger against the Bush administration... While I don't think it's the kind of film where one goes to find some of the darker, edgier aspects of life, the film was born of grief.” ThinkingKindArtDreamFilmLife IsBornViewsGriefSawsBirthAspectMotherhoodScalesAdministrationLaundryAspects Of LifeHumanistic Author:Patti Smith
“Backlock, a poet blind from his birth, could describe visual objects with accuracy; Professor Sanderson, who was also blind, gave excellent lectures on color, and taught others the theory of ideas which they had and he had not. In the social sphere these gifted ones are mostly women; they can watch a world which they never saw, and estimate forces of which they have only heard. We call it intuition.” WorldIdeasForceSocialWatchesSawsHeardObjectsTaughtColorPoetTheoryBirthBlindIntuitionExcellentVisualsProfessorsSpheresGiftedLecturesAccuracy Author:Thomas Hardy
“The problem, Mitch, is that we don't believe we are as much alike as we are. Whites and blacks, Catholics and Protestants, men and women. If we saw each other as more alike, we might be very eager to join in one big human family in this world, and to care about that family the way we care about our own. But believe me, when you are dying, you see it is true. We all have the same beginning - birth - and we all have the same end - death. So how different can we be? Invest in the human family. Invest in people. Build a little community of those you love and who love you.

“Socrates, whose mother was a midwife, used to say that his art was like the art of the midwife. She does not herself give birth to the child, but she is there to help during its delivery. Similarly, Socrates saw his task as helping people to 'give birth' to correct insight, since real understanding must come from within. . . . Everybody can grasp philosophical truths if they just use their innate reason.” PeopleIfsGivingChildrenDoeArtRealReasonHelpingUseUsedMotherUnderstandingSawsBirthTasksPhilosophicalInsightInnateHelping PeopleDeliveryMidwife Author:Jostein Gaarder
“Every human soul has seen, perhaps before their birth, pure forms such as justice, temperance, beauty and all the great moral qualities which we hold in honour.
