“Time goes on, and your life is still there, and you have to live it. After a while you remember the good things more often than the bad. Then, gradually, the empty silent parts of you fill up with sounds of talking and laughter again, and the jagged edges of sadness are softened by memories.” StillsRememberLife IsSoundMemoriesTalkingSadnessGoes OnLaughterEmptyGood ThingsSilentEdgesTime Goes OnJagged Edge Book:Looking Back: A Book of Memories Source: Looking Back: A Book of Memories
“Sadness to me is the happiest time, When a shining city rises from the ruins of my drunken mind. Those times when I'm silent and still as the earth, The thunder of my roar is heard across the universe.” MindStillsEarthSpiritualUniverseCitiesHeardSadnessShiningSilentRuinsThunderAcross The Universe Author:Rumi
“For a moment I had a strange intuition that just this, and in a real, profound sense, is life; and perhaps happiness even - love with a mixture of sadness, reverence, and silent knowledge.” RealMomentsSadnessStrangeSilentProfoundIntuitionReverenceMixtures Author:Erich Maria Remarque
“Were it possible for us to see further than our knowledge reaches, and yet a little way beyond the outworks of our divinings, perhaps we would endure our sadnesses with greater confidence than our joys. For they are the moments when something new has entered into us, something unknown; our feelings grow mute in shy perplexity, everything in us withdraws, a stillness comes, and the new, which no one knows, stands in the midst of it and is silent.” KnowsWayLittlesMomentsFeelingsJoyGrowsGreaterSadnessSilentEndureShyMidstSomething NewStillnessMutePerplexity Author:Rainer Maria Rilke
“Sadness is silent, it is yours. It is coming because you are alone. It is giving you a chance to go deeper into your aloneness. Rather than jumping from one shallow happiness to another shallow happiness and wasting your life, it is better to use sadness as a means for meditation. Witness it. It is a friend! It opens the door of your eternal aloneness.” GivingMeanUseSpiritualChanceMeditationDoorsSadnessEternalSilentDeeperWitnessShallowJumping Author:Rajneesh
“The angels in heaven covered their eyes with their hands and sobbed loudly, because that is what they always do when a man hits his wife. A profound sadness settled over the earth...God was silent in every language. The angels tried to dry their tears, but their handkerchiefs were so soaked through that is started raining even in the deserts.” MenHandsEyeEarthLanguageHeavenWifeSadnessTearsAngelRainSilentProfoundDesertDryCoveredHandkerchiefsAngel In HeavenProfound Sadness Author:Guus Kuijer
“But ordinarily you think otherwise: you think if you are silent you will be sad. Ordinarily you think, how can you avoid sadness if you are silent? I tell you, the silence that exists with sadness cannot be true. Something has gone wrong. You have missed the path, you are off the track. Only celebration can give proof that the real silence has happened.” IfsThinkingGivingRealSilenceGonePathHappenedSadnessSilentTrackProofBeing TrueCelebration Author:Rajneesh
