Imagination

Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we know all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?

Mental health

There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face.

Dreams and Reality

It happens every morning, when I’m half awake, half asleep, and everything around me gets somehow mixed in my dream. I’m not conscious enough to spot the obvious clues that clearly tell me that this could not be reality. I’m too involved in the dream, to even wonder otherwise. And then I wake up, and sunlight streams through the window.

Peace

Oh Master, grant that I may never seek, so much to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love with all my soul.

Serenity

God, grant me Serenity, to accept the things I cannot change; Courage, to change the things I can; and Wisdom, to know the difference.

Success

Success: To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!

Success

Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.

College

A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has university education, he may steal the whole railroad.

Boredom

Boredom is just the reverse side of fascination: both depend on being outside rather than inside a situation, and one leads to the other.

Dark enough?

When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.

Fear and Love

To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.

You

You fill up my senses
Like a night in the forest
Like a mountain in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again

Loss

... Vina, by contrast, glows. All the light in the photograph seems to have been sucked towards her. We are shadowy bodies revolving around her sun. Ormus Cama sits besides her, like a dog begging to be fed. Half of me is in the picture too. I asked a waiter to take the photo but he didn't frame it right. It doesn't matter. I remember what I looked like. I looked the way you look when you're about to lose the thing that matters most.

Love and Death

Dearest,

I feel certain that I am going mad again: I feel we can’t go through another of those terrible times. And I shant recover this time. I begin to hear voices, and can’t concentrate. So I am doing what seems to best thing to do. You have given me the greatest possible happiness. You have been in every way all that anyone could be. I don’t think two people could have been happier till this terrible disease came. I can’t fight it any longer, I know that I am spoiling your life, that without me you could work. And you will I know. You see I can’t even write this properly. I can’t read. What I want to say is that I owe all the happiness of my life to you. You have been entirely patient with me and incredibly good. I want to say that –everybody knows it. If anybody could have saved me it would have been you. Everything has gone from me but the certainty of your goodness. I can’t go on spoiling your life any longer.

I don’t think two people could have been happier than we have been.

V.

If Only, If Only

If only, if only,
the woodpecker sighs,
the bark on the tree
was as soft as the sky,
as the wolf waits below
hungry and lonely,
he cries to the moo-oo-oon
If only, if only
