@Ascieplus^ I love that!

“Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away.”
George Eliot

Really like this quote, reminds me a lot of some of the things I've written.

"Sift through the bullshit." comes to mind.

Was going through some of my writings and decided to share some personal quotes:

“You may wish to take a bullet for another, but how can you do so before you’re able to put yourself first?”

“Ignorance is bliss… to an extent.”

“ beg to differ – why must we lie to ourselves & others knowingly [take away rationalities] to keep our sanity when all truth does is reveal our humanity?”

"You've ["We've"] been born & raised to kill one another -- with what we choose to kill another with, however is our choice."

edit to add: "Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those, who do not write, compose, or paint can manage to escape the madness, the melancholia, the panic fear, which is inherent in a human condition" ~Graham Greene

"Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window, psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing. They open you up to the possibility that everything you know is wrong, and government and society spend a lot of money educating you into being a loyal worker, consumer, debt payer and citizen." - Terence McKenna

and

"Respect all, Fear None."
 
"I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that of the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success!" - Nikola Tesla

"If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibrations."

“If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.”

“The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.”

"We are the music-makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams...
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams"

"Those who hunt monsters need to be very careful that they do not become monsters themselves....The view into the abyss can be horrifying." -Nietzsche
 
Hm, that's not the translation I've usually read. The one I've seen is: "those who look too long into the abyss will have the abyss look into them", or something along those lines.
 
It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane.

Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.

Two related (IMO) quotes:

He had already learned that there was only one day at a time and that it was always
the day you were in. It would be today until it was tonight and tomorrow would be
today again. This was the main thing he had learned so far.

Ernest Hemingway, "The Last Good Country".

I beg you...to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.

I've been working on a new chestnut, that seems to be getting good feedback from people irl: "You don't sharpen a knife by sticking it in butter." On the necessity of discomfort and even adversity in personal growth.

I came across this one while stumbling around online: "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The next best time is now." ~Chinese Proverb

I like that quote a lot; definitely see the double meaning in it.

“Prejudices are what fools use for reason.” ~Voltaire

“It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong” ~Voltaire

“Everything's fine today, that is our illusion.” ~Voltaire
