“I wanted to write; I sought all possible paths of personal liberation, but I could never sacrifice a living instant of life for the sake of a line to be written, my balance for the sake of a manuscript, a storm within me for the sake of a poem. I loved life itself too much for this.” WritingWantedLinesPathToo MuchWrittenSacrificeBalanceSakeStormLiberationInstantManuscripts Author:Nina Berberova
“I discovered that some things are written for us. It's not that we can't change our ancestral bearings, or that the path or purpose of any of our lives is really written in stone. But what tends to happen sometimes is the path is so deeply inscribed in the birth that it becomes you and every variation away from it brings you back in ways that you are not controlling.” WaySometimesHappensLife IsPurposePathOur LivesWrittenBirthStonesVariationCan't ChangeWritten In Stone Author:Maya Tiwari
“When we follow our hearts, we follow the path of lessons we were meant to take and gain knowledge from. Sometimes the heart conquers over reason, and this may lead us to making serious mistakes, but these are mistakes written for us to grow. This is the real reason you hear 'FOLLOW YOUR HEART'. And the real reason you hear, 'FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS' is because our dreams expose us to our true multidimensional realities outside of this delusional realm we call reality. Our TRUE reality can be found in our dreams, where we are our true multidimensional selves.” HeartMayRealSelfSometimesReasonDreamRealityFoundGrowsMistakePathWrittenSeriousLessonsGainsConquerYour DreamsRealmsOur DreamsFollow Your DreamsFollow Your HeartDelusionalSerious MistakesTrue Reality Author:Suzy Kassem
“Walden - all his books, indeed - are packed with subtle, conflicting, and very fruitful discoveries. They are not written to prove something in the end. They are written as the Indians turn down twigs to mark their path through the forest. He cuts his way through life as if no one had ever taken that road before, leaving these signs for those who come after, should they care to see which way he went.” IfsWayShouldBookEndsCareTurnsPathTakenCuttingWrittenProveDiscoveryMarkLeavingForestsSubtleTwigs Book:The Essays of Virginia Woolf: 1912-1918 Source: The Essays of Virginia Woolf: 1912-1918
“Your life is not predestined, as in Calvinist thought, where everything is written down in the book of life long before your birth and is inescapable. There are choices, accidents, hints and wrong paths, and the ego you, or whatever you call yourself, is a factor in all this. But there is still this other factor that keeps calling. At some moment, people turn, in despair or when they are unable to go any longer on a certain route, and this inner voice says, "Where have you been? I've been waiting for you to turn to me for a long time."” PeopleLongStillsBookMomentsLife IsCertainTurnsChoicesWaitingVoicePathWrittenBirthCallingEgoDespairLong TimeAccidentsFactorsRoutesLong LifeHintsInner VoiceWaiting For YouPredestinedWrong PathBook Of Life Author:James Hillman

“If marriage isn't something for me, but I like living with someone or being committed, I can choose this other path as long as she's okay with it but I would hardly say that that should be what other people do. Some people want that, that written paper, that commitment and that means something to them. And I don't in the least look down on it.” PeopleIfsWantShouldLooksMeanLongI CanPathWrittenPaperCommitmentOkayCommitted Author:Robert Greene
