chaff and grain together,
knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them,
keep what is worth keeping, and then,
with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.
- George Eliot

Not everyone is always going to like what you do.
Your job application, your book proposal,

is occasionally going to think that you are doing it all wrong.
Don't take it personally.

Important ideas can come from unexpected places.
We tend to label people - Genius, Idiot,

It is equally important to avoid accepting any idea
merely because we respect that person's
other ideas or accomplishments.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody,
I think that is a much greater hunger,
a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.

My vision of a real humanity is of pure individuals
relating to each other, but not tied in any relationship.
They will be loving to each other,
but not being possessive of each other.
They will be sharing with each other
all their joys and all their blessings,
but never even in their dreams thinking of dominating,
thinking of enslaving the other person.
- Osho (Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh)
The success of love is in the loving -
it is not in the result of loving.
Of course it is natural in love
to want the best for the other person,
but whether it turns out that way or not
does not determine the value of what we have done.
- Mother Teresa

this is a frightening prospect.

something is missing in his or her humanity.
A person can almost be defined by
his or her attitude toward gratitude.

who is more deserving of your
love and affection than you are yourself,

deserve your love and affection.

It's jolted by every pebble on the road.

Never say goodbye when you still want to try,
never give up when you still feel you can't take it.
Never say you don't love the person anymore
when you can't let go.
- Anonymous

to reconcile himself to the idea that

and not be loved in return,

someone and never find the courage
to let that person know how you feel.
