Quote by Marcus Aurelius

The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.

The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.

Summary

This quote suggests that our thoughts and beliefs have a profound impact on our inner selves. It suggests that the soul, or essence of a person, is shaped and influenced by the nature and quality of their thoughts. Just like dye colors a fabric, our thoughts mold and shape our soul, determining our perspective, experiences, and interactions with the world. It emphasizes the importance of cultivating positive and virtuous thoughts, as they contribute to a vibrant, enlightened soul. Conversely, negative and destructive thoughts can stain and darken the soul, impacting one's overall well-being.

...but most of all he liked to listen to stories of real life. He smiled gleefully as he listened to such stories, putting in words and asking questions, all aiming at bringing out clearly the moral beauty of the action of which he was told. Attachments, friendships, love, as Pierre understood them, Karataev had none, but he loved and lived on affectionate terms with every creature with whom he was thrown in life, and especially so with man- not with any particular man, but with the men that happened to be before his eyes.But his life, as he looked at it, had no meaning as a separate life. It only had meaning as part of a whole, of which he was at all times conscious.

Not so many years ago there was no simpler or more intelligible notion than that of going on a journey. Travel --movement through space --provided the universal metaphor for change. One of the subtle confusions --perhaps one of the secret terrors --of modern life is that we have lost this refuge. No longer do we move through space as we once did.
