  • There is nothing more beautiful in the world, enough to lose one's head. A sunset with a long nose, a starry sky that lies, a river searching for its father, a beautiful blue forest. It makes you laugh, it makes you cry, it's very mean, generous, magical, universal, a picture of freedom, of unrestrained desire to live, of pain and joy - a joy so powerful and sweet that it restores the souls in every spot on earth. The story of Pinocchio - nothing more beautiful in the world.

    Beautiful   Sweet   Pain

  • Men passionately desire to live after death, but they often pass away without noticing the fact that the memory of a really good person always lives. It is impressed upon the next generation, and is transmitted again to the children. Is that not an immortality worth striving for?

    Memories   Children   Men  
    Peter Kropotkin (2014). “Memoirs of a Revolutionist”, p.13, Courier Corporation
  • The desire to live life to its fullest, to acquire more knowledge, to abandon the economic treadmill, are all typical reactions to these experiences in altered states of consciousness.

    Edgar Mitchell (2009). “The Way of the Explorer: An Apollo Astronaut's Journey Through the Material and Mystical Worlds: Easyread Super Large 24pt Edition”, p.284, ReadHowYouWant.com
