Whoever knows he is deep, strives for clarity; whoever would like to appear deep to the crowd, strives for obscurity. For the crowd considers anything deep if only it cannot see to the bottom: the crowd is so timid and afraid of going into the water.
— Friedrich Nietzsche (via reluctantbuddha)
Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful; for beauty is God’s handwriting—a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in every fair face, in every fair sky, in every fair flower, and thank God for it as a cup of blessing.
— Ralph Waldo Emerson (via reluctantbuddha)
It isn’t what I do, but how I do it. It isn’t what I say, but how I say it, and how I look when I do it and say it.
— Mae West (via littlemiss)
I’m the one that has to die when it’s time for me to die, so let me live my life, the way I want to.
— Jimi Hendrix (via thresca)
