“In the morning of life, before its wearisome journey, The youthful soul doth expand, in the simple luxury of being; It hath not contracted its wishes, nor set a limit on its hopes; The wing of fancy is unclipped, and sin hath not seared the feelings: Each feature is stamped with immortality, for all its desires are infinite, And it seeketh an ocean of happiness, to fill the deep hollow within.” SoulFeelingsDesireWishSinSimpleMorningJourneyYouthLimitsOceanInfiniteWingsLuxuryFeaturesImmortalityFancyHollow Author:Martin Farquhar Tupper

“Our mythology tells us so much about fathers and sons. ... What do we know about mothers and daughters? ... Our power is so oblique, so hidden, so ethereal a matter, that we rarely struggle with our daughters over actual kingdoms or corporate shares. On the other hand, our attractiveness dries as theirs blooms, our journey shortens just as theirs begins. We too must be afraid and awed and amazed that we cannot live forever and that our replacements are eager for their turn, indifferent to our wishes, ready to leave us behind.” KnowsMatterHandsMotherTurnsFatherWishBehindsStruggleForeverJourneyShareSonReadyDaughterMythologyKingdomsCorporateIndifferentAmazedLive ForeverMother And DaughterOur DaughterReplacementsFather And SonAttractivenessEtherealReady To Leave Author:Anne Roiphe

“Great minds have always seen it. That is why man has survived his journey this long. When we fail to wish any longer to be otherwise than what we are, we will have ceased to evolve. Evolution has to be lived forward. I say this as one who has stood above the bones of much that has vanished, and at midnight has examined his own face.” MenMindLongFacesWishFailingJourneyEvolutionBonesEvolveSurvivedMidnightGreat Minds Author:Loren Eiseley
“Who am I?” “What is the purpose of my life?” These questions arise spontaneously throughout our lives, either unbidden or through conscious intent. Anyone who wishes to live an authentic life must answer these questions, regardless of whether they believe in the existence of the soul or practice a religion. If these queries remain unanswered, life will more than likely remain superficial and empty, in spite of any material abundance. If you wish to make the soul's journey, then I suggest you ask yourself these questions relentlessly and ruthlessly, and listen carefully.” IfsBelieveSoulPurposeAsksWishAnswersExistencePracticeOur LivesJourneyMaterialsConsciousEmptyAriseAbundanceSpiteSuperficialUnansweredAuthentic LifeQueries Author:Ilchi Lee
