Charlotte Brontë
“Dread remorse when you are tempted to err, Miss Eyre; remorse is the poison of life.”
Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Leo Tolstoy
“A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite. And to act so is immoral.”
Leo Tolstoy

Anton Chekhov
“Any idiot can face a crisis; it's this day-to-day living that wears you out.”
Anton Chekhov

George Carlin
“That's why they call it the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it.”
George Carlin

Rumi
“Your hand opens and closes, opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralysed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as birds' wings.”
Rumi, Essential Rumi
