"Go placidly amid the noise and haste,

and remember what peace

there may be in silence.

As far as possible without surrender

be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly

and clearly;

and listen to others,

even the dull and the ignorant;

they too have their…

Love

Look into an animal's eyes and, for a while, switch places with it. Her life becomes as precious as yours and you become as vulnerable as she is.

Now smile if you believe that all animals deserve our respect and our protection, because at some point they are with us and they are. "

Francis of Assisi, the monk enlightened by…

God when the darkness of the night arrive

I will not be afraid

For lighting up my darkness

Stars will be there



At this point

I feel a strange…

You should know that life is lonely. You come out alone and you go out alone. If you know that, it will get better. Some people will love you and some won't. That's life. If you know that, it's a pretty good life.

IMAGINE PEACE

You can sweep up the dust of a thousand ruined civilizations in this breath. You can gather the ashes of your ancestors in this breath. Whisk the DNA from all the microbes that ever swarmed the gut or swam the blood of rodent, honeybee, or leprous medieval peasant in this breath. You can…

"THE GENERAL'S DAUGHTER”

The girl in the photo is Anne de Gaulle; the third daughter of Yvonne Vendroux and General de Gaulle. She was born on New Year's Day in 1928. Her features, as you can appreciate, are characteristic of what we now call Down syndrome, and in Anne's case it was severe, so much so that she could barely walk…

CLAIR DE LUNE

Your soul is a chosen landscape

Where charming masquerades and dancers are promenading,

Playing the lute and dancing, and almost

Sad beneath their fantastic disguises.

While singing in a minor key

Of victorious love, and the pleasant life

They seem not to believe in their own happiness

And their song blends with the light of the moon,

With the sad and beautiful light of the moon,

Which sets the birds in…

EARTH SONG

Listen to things more often than beings.

Hear the voice of the fire, hear the voice of the water,

Listen in the wind to the sighing of the bush:

This is the ancestors breathing.

Those who are dead are never gone;

The dead are not down…

I lied and said I was busy.

I was busy but not in a way

most people understand.

I was busy taking deeper breaths.

I was busy silencing irrational thoughts.

I was busy calming a racing heart.

I was busy telling myself I am okay.

Sometimes this is my busy,

and I will not apologize for…

The famous Italian diver Enzo Maiorca dove into the sea of ​​Syracuse and was talking to his daughter Rossana who was aboard the boat. Ready to go in, he felt something slightly hit his back. He turned and saw a dolphin. Then he realized that the dolphin did not want to play but to express something. The animal dove and Enzo…

You start dying slowly ;

if you do not travel,

if you do not read,

If you do not listen to the sounds of life,

If you do not appreciate yourself.

You start dying slowly :

When you kill your self-esteem,

When you do not let others help you.

You start dying slowly ;

If…

There’s so much more to life than finding someone who will want you, or being sad over someone who doesn’t. There’s a lot of wonderful time to be spent discovering yourself without hoping someone will fall in Love with you along the way, and it doesn't need to be painful or empty. You need to fill yourself up with Love. Not anyone…

"Today was a Difficult Day," said Pooh.

There was a pause.

"Do you want to talk about it?" asked Piglet.

"No," said Pooh after a bit. "No, I don't think I do."

"That's okay," said Piglet, and he came and sat beside his friend.

"What are you doing?" asked Pooh.

"Nothing, really," said Piglet. "Only, I…

Patti Smith on the biggest misconception about her...

"The thing that bothered me the most was when I had to return to the public eye in ’95 or ’96 when my husband died. We lived a very simple lifestyle in a more reclusive way in which he was king of our domain. I don’t drive, I didn’t have much of an income, and without him, I…

The greatest achievement is selflessness.

The greatest worth is self-mastery.

The greatest quality is seeking to serve others.

The greatest precept is continual awareness.

The greatest medicine is the emptiness of everything.

The greatest action is not conforming with the worlds ways.

The greatest magic…

In a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked the other:

“Do you believe in life after delivery?” The other replied, “Why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.”

“Nonsense” said the first. “There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would…

“People and the Souls Near Them” - Romania

I never intended to work on a project that brings together people and animals. But people have always been my main subject, and the animals have always been around. I have always found them alongside people in moments of rest or work, but they were always there, almost as life partners. This topic quickly began to attract me. Portraits together or simple moments of life gatherd in a collection that…

Art is a universal language. Through our understanding of that language, we connect ourselves with each other, and come together, even without knowing that we do. It is not one artist who has a great message. By connecting ourselves to each other, we become part of the greatness.
