“We have a lot of thoughts throughout our entire life, but ultimately we get all to the conclusion of a single thought: Death!”
“We trouble our life by thoughts about death, and our death by thoughts about life.”
“Our entire life - consists ultimately in accepting ourselves as we are.”
“In literature and in life we ultimately pursue, not conclusions, but beginnings.”
“if we focus on what's ugly, we attract more ugliness into our thoughts, and then into our emotions, and ultimately into our lives”
“Our life depends on the kind of thoughts we nurture. If our thoughts are peaceful, calm, meek, and kind, then that is what our life is like. If our attention is turned to the circumstances in which we live, we are drawn into a whirlpool of thoughts and can have neither peace nor tranquility.”
