“Imagine the wheel of time turning in a seemingly endless round, revealing that the beginning is the end of another beginning. This is the cyclic nature of the inward journey of creativity, which is by nature back and down - back in time and down into the soul's depths.” SoulEndsCreativityImagineJourneyDepthRoundsEndlessWheelsInwardRevealingWheel Of TimeBack In Time Book:Stoking the Creative Fires: 9 Ways to Rekindle Passion and Imagination Source: Stoking the Creative Fires: 9 Ways to Rekindle Passion and Imagination
“Outward objects cannot take hold of the soul, nor force their passage into her, nor set any of her wheels going. No, the impression comes from herself, and it is her own motions which affect her. As for the contingencies of fortune, they are either great or little, according to the opinion she has of her own strength.” LittlesSoulForceOpinionObjectsFortuneImpressionWheelsPassagesContingency Book:The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius Source: The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius
“Christianity ... has produced the iniquities of the Inquisition, the egotism and celibacy of the monasteries, the fury of religious wars, the ferocity of the Hussite, of the Catholic, of the Puritan, of the Spaniard, of the Irish Orangeman and of the Irish Papist; it has divided families, alienated friends, lighted the torch of civil war, and borne the virgin and the greybeard to the burning pile, broken delicate limbs upon the wheel and wrung the souls and bodies of innocent creatures on the rack; all this it has done, and done in the name of God.” WarSoulDoneBodyReligionNamesReligiousChristianityBrokenCreaturesCatholicInnocentBurningCivil WarWheelsDividedDelicateVirginsLimbsFuryEgotismTorchesPuritanCelibacyRacksInquisitionIniquityMonasteriesSoul And BodyFerocitySpaniardsReligious Wars Author:Ouida
“Never can a new idea move within the law. It matters not whether that idea pertains to political and social changes or to any other domain of human thought and expression - to science, literature, music; in fact, everything that makes for freedom and joy and beauty must refuse to move within the law. How can it be otherwise? The law is stationary, fixed, mechanical, 'a chariot wheel' which grinds all alike without regard to time, place and condition, without ever taking into account cause and effect, without ever going into the complexity of the human soul.” HumansIdeasSoulMatterFactsMovingLawPoliticalJoyLiteratureSocialCausesConditionsEffectsExpressionAccountsRegardRefuseFixedComplexityWheelsNew IdeasSocial ChangeDomainHuman SoulGrindCause And EffectHuman ThoughtChariotsStationary Author:Emma Goldman
