“I am not an optimist, because I am not sure that everything ends well. Nor am I a pessimist, because I am not sure that everything ends badly. I just carry hope in my heart. Hope is the feeling that life and work have a meaning. You either have it or you don't, regardless of the state of the world that surrounds you. Life without hope is an empty, boring, and useless life. I cannot imagine that I could strive for something if I did not carry hope in me. I am thankful to God for this gift. It is as big as life itself.” IfsWorldWellsHeartEndsStatesFeelingsBigsHopeImagineMy HeartEmptyStriveBoringUselessNot SureSurroundImagine ThatOptimistPessimistWithout HopeI Am ThankfulThankful To GodUseless Life Author:Vaclav Havel

“It is in our own mind and not in exterior objects that we perceive most things; fools know scarcely anything because they are empty, and their heart is narrow; but great souls find in themselves a number of exterior things; they have no need to read or travel or to listen or to work to discover the highest truths; they have only to delve into themselves and search, if we may say so, their own thoughts.” IfsKnowsNeedsMindHeartMaySoulNumbersObjectsFoolHighestEmptyPerceiveExteriorGreat Souls Author:Luc de Clapiers

“I know the woman has no soul, I know The woman has no possibilities Of soul or mind or heart, but merely is The masterpiece of flesh: well, be it so. It is her flesh that I adore; I go Thirsting afresh to drain her empty kiss. I know she cannot love: it is not this My vanquished heart implores in overthrow. Tyrannously I crave, I crave alone, Her splendid body, Earth's most eloquent Music, divinest human harmony; Her body now a silent instrument, That 'neath my touch shall wake and make for me The strains I have but dreamed of, never known.” KnowsMindHumansWellsHeartSoulBodyEarthWomenKnownPossibilityKissingEmptyHarmonyInstrumentsSilentFleshAdoreMasterpieceStrainCraveSplendidDrainsEloquent Book:Poems Source: Poems
“To trust yourself is to trust Silence. To trust your own heart is to trust the wisdom that is radiating and shining. All the thoughts, feelings, desires, and fears are just a superimposition that is called 'myself.' When all that disappears, for at least a moment, your Self shines forth. Radiantly, clear, and empty. Needing nothing, nourished, and overflowing.” HeartSelfMomentsFeelingsDesireSilenceClearEmptyShiningDisappearTrust Yourself Author:Eli Jaxon-Bear
