“Rhythm is the basis of life, not steady forward progress. The forces of creation, destruction, and preservation have a whirling, dynamic interaction.”
Kabbalah
“Nothing is set in stone. Every moment is an opportunity to create. And, here is something to consider: even if something was set in stone, stone can crumble, it can break. It is not indestructible. Sometimes destruction is a necessary part of construction.”
Elizabeth Alraune
“Not until the creation and maintenance of decent conditions of life for all people are recognized and accepted as a common obligation of all people and all countries - not until then shall we, with a certain degree of justification, be able to speak of humankind as civilized.”
Albert Einstein
“We are each our own devil, and we make this world our hell”
Oscar Wilde
“Why do people insist on creating things that will inevitably be destroyed? Why do people cling to life, knowing that they must someday die? ...Knowing that none of it will have meant anything once they do?”
Kefka - Final Fantasy 6
“On life's journey faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is the light by day and right mindfulness is the protection by night. If a man lives a pure life, nothing can destroy him.”
Buddha
“The Indian way of life provides the vision of the natural, real way of life. We veil ourselves with unnatural masks. On the face of India are the tender expressions which carry the mark of the Creator's hand. In the face of an Indian, you can see the natural glory of life, while we have covered ourselves with an artificial cloak.”
George Bernard Shaw
