Looking at a sunset, just for a second you forget your separateness: you are the sunset. That is the moment when you feel the beauty of it. But the moment you say that it is a beautiful sunset, you are no longer feeling it; you have come back to your separate, enclosed entity of the ego. Now the mind is speaking. And this is one of the mysteries, that the mind can speak, and knows nothing; and the heart knows everything, and cannot speak. Perhaps to know too much makes it difficult to speak; the mind knows so little, it is possible for it to speak.

Work like you don't need the money, Sing like nobody's listening, Dance like nobody's watching,
Love like you've never been hurt, Live like Earth is Heaven.
Everything is clearer when you're in love.
Learn to create silence in your mind and peace will flourish in your soul. You will see life with other eyes. You will discover Gods language. To be internally silent do not think too much. Trust yourself. Trust others. Trust life. You will find it is easier than it seems
All the people like us are we, and everyone else is They.
However long the night, the dawn will break.
The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.
