Khalil Gibran

Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter’s oven?

Khalil Gibran

Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the same well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be? The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven? And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?

Bayard Rustin

When I say I love Eastland, it sounds preposterous a man who brutalizes people. But you love him or you wouldn't be here. You're going to Mississippi to create social change and you love Eastland in your desire to create conditions which will redeem his children.

Paulo Coelho

Rudolf Steiner

For human beings, love is the most important fruit of experience in the sense world.

Tom Robbins

Albert Camus wrote that the only serious question is whether to kill yourself or not. Tom Robbins wrote that the only serious question is whether time has a beginning and an end.

Answer me that and I will tell you whether or not to kill yourself.

Spike Milligan

We were making love in the back of a truck and we got carried away.
