“When a poet writes a poem, meaning arises - because the poet is not alone; he has created something. When a dancer dances, meaning arises. When a mother gives birth to a child, meaning arises.

The bigger the whole, the bigger is the meaning.” GivingWritingChildrenWholeMotivationalTogetherMotherLeftCuttingPoetBirthBiggerMeaningfulAriseIslandsDancerMeaninglessIsolatedNot AloneLeft Alone Author:Rajneesh

“Dombey and Son had often dealt in hides, but never in hearts. They left that fancy ware to boys and girls, and boarding-schools and books. Mr. Dombey would have reasoned: That a matrimonial alliance with himself must, in the nature of things, be gratifying and honourable to any woman of common sense.
