Isaac Newton

I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me. 

Pic: me.

Blues

Pics: me - arr: John Nordahl

I have only one thing to do and that's

To be the wave that I am and then
Sink back into the ocean...

Fiona Apple

Shadow

What is life? A madness. What is life? An illusion, a shadow, a story. And the greatest good is little enough; for all life is a dream, and dreams themselves are only dreams.

“Let me lose everything on earth and the world beyond, but let me not lose what I'm craving for, let it be that i died on the way than retreating from getting it.”

Harry Martinson

Jag frågade mig själv men glömde svara.
Jag drömde mig ett liv men glömda vara.
Jag reste alltet runt men glömde fara -
ty jag satt fånge här i Aniara.

Paul Tournier

Acceptance of one's life has nothing to do with resignation; it does not mean running away from the struggle. On the contrary, it means accepting it as it comes, with all the handicaps of heredity, of suffering, of psychological complexes and injustices.

Forgiveness

Because forgiveness is like this: a room can be dark because you have closed the windows, you've closed the curtains. But the sun is shining outside, and the air is fresh outside. In order to get that fresh air, you have to get up and open the window and draw the curtains apart.

Desmond Tutu
