What you enjoy is yours; what you save for your heirs, is already not yours, but theirs.

You are just now, here, neither coming nor going. Everything passes by you; your consciousness reflects it but it does not get identified. When a lion roars in front of a mirror, do you think the mirror roars? Or when the lion is gone and a child comes dancing, the mirror completely forgets about the lion and starts dancing with the child--do you think the mirror dances with the child? The mirror does nothing, it simply reflects. Your consciousness is only a mirror. Neither do you come, nor do you go. Things come and go. You become young, you become old; you are alive, you are dead. All these states are simply reflections in an eternal pool of consciousness.

I was talking to one of my aunties at Christmas and she said she didn't think it was ever in my nature to go against the grain, that I was always a good boy. I think she was right - I did always want to be good.

James McAvoy

From the wreck of the past, which hath perishWritten to his half sister following his exile on grounds of incest with her.

Lord (George Gordon) Byron, To A

'Design Star' was incredible, and I didn't think it could get any better, and then 'Color Splash' happened.

David Bromstad

We manage the fear, I manage the fear, but it certainly takes its toll, the strain does.
