A travel into the unknown...when, due to lack of interest, tomorrow is cancelled

I suggest that anyone who enjoys fantastic photos and likes to revisit the beauty around us, check out this blog:

More often than not, we miss out a lot of our everyday world: we see it, we talk about it, but we doesn't really stop to think. This blog does:

Good quotes don't go out of fashion:

"Live joyously, guiltlessly, live totally, live intensely. And then heaven is no more a metaphysical concept, it is your own experience"

Osho

"But the true or primary purpose of your life cannot be found on the outer level. It does not concern what you do, but what you are -- that is to say, your state of conscousness."

A New Earth, Eckhart Tolle

"More often than we care to admit inconsequential decisions change our lives."

Rhett Butler's People, Donald McCaig

"We do not choose whom we love; love chooses us."

Rhett Butler's People, Donald McCaig

"I think most men and women live their whole lives without knowing love. They accept a simulacrum for the real thing. They confuse cold grey embers for a ranging fire."

Rhett Butler's People, Donald McCaig

"Tell me who you love and I'll tell you who you are."

Rhett Butler's People, Donald McCaig

"Only a fool doesn't forgive. The worse fool forgets."

Rhett Butler's People, Donald McCaig

"Live your life. Let no other live it for you."

Rhett Butler's People, Donald McCaig

"Above all, love each other deeply,
Because love covers over a multitude of sins."

1 Peter 4:*

"You have to work. Did you think you could snap your fingers, and have it as gift? What is worth having is worth
working for."

The Amber Spyglass, Philip Pullman

"But I stopped believing there was a power of good and a power of evil outside us. And I came to believe that good and evil are names for what people do, not for what they are. All I can say is that this is a good deed, because it helps someone, or that's an evil one, because it hurts them. People
are too complicated to have simple labels."

The Amber Spyglass, Philip Pullman

"Being in love was like China: you knew it was there, and no doubt it was very interesting, and some people went there, but I never would. I'd spend all my life without ever going to China, but it wouldn't matter, because there was all the rest in the world to visit. And then ... I suddenly realized I had been to China."

The Amber Spyglass, Philip Pullman

"As a mountain keeps still within itself, thus a wise man does
not permit his will to stray beyond his situation"

The Amber Spyglass, Philip Pullman

"Maybe sometimes we don't do the right thing because the wrong thing looks more dangerous, and we don't want to look scared, so we go and do the wrong thing just because it's dangerous. We're more concerned with not looking scared than with judging right."

The Amber Spyglass, Philip Pullman

"Argue with anything else, but don't argue with your own nature."

The Subtle Knife, Philip Pullman

"She felt nothing but compassion for those great watchers. How much they must miss, never to feel the earth beneath their feet, or the wind in their hair, or the tingle of the starlight on their bare skin!"

The Subtle Knife, Philip Pullman

"seems to me the place you fight cruelty is where you find it, and the place you give help is where you see it needed."

THe Subtle Knife, Philip Pullman

"But I have the backbone not to run away from my responsibilities!
It takes backbone to lead the life you want, Frank."
Revolutionary Road, the film

" ... it was so beautiful it was almost holy; she felt tears prick her eyes, and the tears splintered the light even further into prismatic rainbows. It wasn't long she found herself entering the same kind of trance ..."

The Golden Compass, Philip Pullman

"Human beings can't see anything without wanting to destroy it, Lyra. That's original sin. And I'm going to destroy it. Death is going to die."

The Golden Compass, Philip Pullman

"In fact, these possibility collapses happen at the level of elementary particles, but they happen in just tha same way: one moment several things are possible, the next moment only one happens, and the rest don't exist. Except that other worlds have sprung into being, on which they did happen."

The Golden Compass, Philip Pullman

"To hurt is as human as to breathe. We wizards seem particularly prone to the idea that we can bend the nature of existence to our will."

The Tales of Beadle the Bard, J K Rowling

"I like work; it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours. I love to keep it by me; the idea of getting rid of it nearly breaks my heart."

Three Men in a Boat, Jerome Jerome

"Let your boat of life be light, packed with only what you need -- a homely home with simple pleasures, one or two friends, worth the name, someone to love and someone to love you, a cat, a dog, and a pipe or two, enough to eat and enough to wear, and a little more than enough to drink; for thirst is a dangerous thing."

Three Men in a Boat, Jerome Jerome

"I could see that now -- how the universe swirled around this one point. I'd never seen the symmetry of the universe before, but now it was plain."

Breaking Dawn, Stephanie Meyer

"The clouds I can handle. But I can't fight with an eclipse."

Eclipse, Stephanie Meyer

"Was there a human experience that I was not willing to give up?"

Eclipse, Stephanie Meyer

"... live in the present as much as possible, no past fading, no future impending."

New Moon, Stephanie Meyer

"... you humans ca be quite interesting. I guess I can see the draw of observing you. It's amazing -- some of you seem to have no sense of your own self-interest at all."

Twilight, Stephanie Meyer

The only democratic conception of human equality is that all men are tragic and comic: we die; we have noses.

The Love Letters of Dylan Thomas

Don't say "what", say "pardon", darling, and do as your mother tells you.
