Music makes me forget myself, my true condition, it carries me off into another state of being, one that isn't my own: under the influence of music I have the illusion of feeling things I don't really feel, of understanding things I don't understand, being able to do things I'm not able to do (...) Can it really be allowable for anyone who feels like it to hypnotize another person, or many other persons, and then do what he likes with them? Particularly if the hypnotist is the first unscrupulous individual who happens to come along?

I don't get jealousy, I don't get how people hate each other - I never did.

Haruki Murakami

True, what you sacrifice for the world is but poorly recognized by it; for it is man that rules and reaps the harvest; the thousand night watches and sacrifices by which a mother secures the state a hero or a poet are forgotten, not even mentioned, for the mother herself does not mention them, and so one century after another do the wives, unknown and unrewarded send forth the arrows, the starts the storm-birds and the nightingales of time.

Jean Paul Richter

Oh courage...oh yes! If only one had that...Then life might be livable, in spite of everything.

Henrik Ibsen

In all human affairs there are efforts, and there are results, and the strength of effort is the measure of the results.

James Allen

Truth is not a matter of fact but a state of harmony with progress and hope. Enveloped only in its wings will we ever soar to the promise of our greater selves.

Bryant H. McGill

A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.

William James
