My Quotes

May 14, 2012 Filed Under: Philosophy

Over time, I’ve collected some quotes of mine, which I used over time in various occassions; ranging from thought provoking to outright cheesy, here are some:

  • The lust for comfort kills the passions of the soul
  • The price of discipline is always less than the pain of regret
  • Sometimes we miss the moments we had, sometimes those we didn’t

The only thing we dont have is: time – the great determiner – more experience? or more quality of experience?

We are in the best times possible in history. We have everything today. The future looks optimistic. But, are we as happy if not more than our ancestors were?

Warrior of light

May 9, 2012 Filed Under: Philosophy

A warrior of light is never predictable. He might dance down the street on his way to work, gaze into the eyes of a complete stranger and speak of love at first sight, or else defend an apparently absurd idea. Warriors of light allow themselves days like these. They are not afraid to weep over ancient sorrows or to feel joy at new discoveries.

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
