Be so busy loving your life that you have no time for hate,regret or fear.

I just invent, then wait until man comes around to needing what I’ve invented.” - Buckminster Fuller

I live on Earth at present, and I don’t know what I am. I know that I am not a category. I am not a thing - a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process… — Buckminster Fuller

Love is metaphysical gravity. — Buckminster Fuller

The way our fingers intertwine feels so natural and right, as if our hands hold memories of meeting in a thousand other lifetimes. ~John Mark Green

Abstract is not a style. I simply want to make a surface work. This is just a use of space and form: it's an ambivalence of forms and space. -Joan Mitchell

I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you.~Pablo Neruda

The One...

So there is—we might as well just tell you. It’s time for you to know this. There is substance and truth to conspiracy theory: The entire universe is conspiring to give you everything that you want. — Abraham Hicks

I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value. — Hermann Hesse

Nothing has made me feel like I do right now… like I have a window in my chest where sunlight is pouring in.

"Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self.” ~Jean-Luc Godard

do not show all the sides of things. keep yourself a margin of vagueness.

“there are two types of longing that occur between a poem and an image; unfulfilled and unrequited.” -Cy Twombly

It’s very important to educate your hand. Make it achieve a level of high obedience so that it will be able to properly and fully express your ideas. But be very careful of trying to obtain too much perfection, as well as too much speed as an artist. Perfection and speed are dangerous — as are their opposites. When you produce drawings that are too quick or too loose, besides making mistakes, you run the risk of creating an entity without soul or spirit. — Moebius (Jean Giraud)

An artist is, by nature, someone very sensitive, who expresses with talent the pains that he has suffered. He uses art to replace the communication that he didn’t, or doesn’t have with others. Most artists were sensitive children, often introverted, and suddenly they discover that there is a big demand for that very same expression of their sensitivity. They discover that, in our harsh world, there’s an oasis for dream makers, and you even get paid for it. — Jean Giraud

Thank you, whatever comes. — Ezra Pound

Be careful what you set your heart upon - for it will surely be yours. — James Baldwin

Your vibration is your personal energy frequency. It is a culmination of every life you have ever lived, every thought you have ever had and every action you have ever performed. It is the energy that surrounds and permeates every cell in your body. Your vibration is your divine signature, your soul essence, and it is special only to you. Just as there are no two snowflakes alike, no two souls in the entire universe have the same name or “soul signature”.

Love is the energy from which all people and things are made. You are connected to everything in your world through love. — Brian L. Weiss

Carry the frequency of love, which is the frequency of creation - and light, which is the frequency of information. — Barbara Marciniak

Love is the one thing we’re capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space.

There will always be a reason why you meet people. Either you need them to change your life or you’re the one who will change theirs.

Be patient. Relax and trust. Let go. Then, let go some more. — Melody Beattie

I like unusual people. They make me curious.

We must all become artists in living. To live by inspiration means to sense the divine touch in everything; to enter into the spirit of things; to enter into the joy of living. — Ernest Holmes

The mind is a magnet and we attract that with which we identify the self. In order to get the most out of life we must learn consciously to change many of our habitual thought patterns. This is not easy, for our old thought patterns cling to us with great tenacity, but, being thought patterns, they can be reversed. If you are filled with fear, refill yourself with faith, for faith always overcomes fear. — Ernest Holmes

Life is not just something to be endured. It is to be lived in joy, in a fullness without limit.

If it no longer resonates with my heart, spirit, mind and soul, I let it go.

A thought can take you over and you begin to have a relationship with the thought. It proliferates in your mind and it can take you over so completely that it occupies almost your entire mental space. People also do that to some extent, when they fall in love… To some extent you cannot totally see the other person, because you fall in love with an idolized image in your mind of the other person. — Eckhart Tolle

When you become comfortable with uncertainty, infinite possibilities open up in your life. — Eckhart Tolle

And suddenly you know: It’s time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.

Be aware of your breathing. Notice how this takes your attention away from your thinking and creates space. — Eckhart Tolle

Why does the mind habitually deny or resist the Now? Because it cannot function and remain in control without time, which is past and future, so it perceives the timeless Now as threatening. Time and mind are in fact inseparable. — Eckhart Tolle

Many people try to become wiser and more loving, and they remain in a constant battle with themselves. This approach never works because it assumes a separate ‘you’ who wants to be a better person. It is the you that is the dream, a thought only. In taking yourself to be a separate entity, you blind yourself to the Truth of your being, which is love and wisdom. — Adyashanti

I am a product of long corridors, empty sunlit rooms, upstairs indoor silences, attics explored in solitude, distant noises of gurgling cisterns and pipes, and the noise of wind under the tiles. Also, of endless books. — C.S. Lewis

Love, and do what you will. If you keep silence, do it out of love. If you cry out, do it out of love. If you refrain from punishing, do it out of love. — Augustine of Hippo

The truth is like a lion. You don’t have to defend it. Let it loose. It will defend itself. — Augustine of Hippo

We cannot improve ourselves; we can only realize more and more of our true selves. — Bashar

The discipline of creation, be it to paint, compose, write, is an effort towards wholeness.

Not even for a million dollars would I paint a tree.” ―Willem de Kooning

One of the greatest gifts you can give to anyone is the gift of attention. — Jim Rohn

Once you’ve had the best of something, you won’t want anything else.

We fear the thing we want the most. — Dr. Robert Anthony.

A gift is pure when it is given from the heart to the right person at the right time and at the right place, and when we expect nothing in return.
