The Cat that Sleeps outside my Room

As the fox said in “The Little Prince”, ‘You’ll understand that yours is the only rose in the world. Because, it’s the time you spent on your rose, that makes your rose so special.”

My life is all about learning and experiencing.

The consequences of our actions are always so complicated, so diverse, that predicting the future is a very difficult business indeed. ..Professor Trelawney, bless her, is living proof of that.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (J.K. Rowling)

Given the fluid, ever-changing nature of thought and therefore of meaning, the best approach is to believe but hold it lightly.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (J.K Rowling)

Then he and old Sally started talking about a lot of people that they both knew. It was the phoniest conversation you ever heard in your life. They both kept thinking of places as fast as they could, then they’d think of somebody that lived there and mention their name.

The Catcher in The Rye (J.D. Salinger)

A tale without love in it would be unnatural, unreal– in fact, a simple lie; for there are no histories and no lives without love in them: if there could be, Heaven pity and pardon them, for they would be mere abortions of humanity.

Mistress and Maid (Dinah Maria Mulock Craik)

Again the lesson is contempt for the material world; one, must never give the impression of having taken one’s art, or indeed life itself, too seriously.

The Book of Tea (Kakuzo Okakura)

Be not impatient with delays but wait as one who understands; When spirit rises and commands The gods are ready to obey.

As a Man Thinketh (James Allen)

The soul attracts that which it secretly harbours; that which it loves, and also that which it fears; it reaches the height of its cherished aspirations; it fails to the level of its unchastened desires, – and circumstances are the means by which the soul receives its own.

Circumstance does not make the man; it reveals him to himself.
