When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European,
“When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind.”
Jiddu Krishnamurti

Erich Fromm
“Paradoxically, the ability to be alone is the condition for the ability to love.”
Erich Fromm, The Art of Loving

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

Albert Camus
“When I look at my life and its secret colours, I feel like bursting into tears.”
Albert Camus, A Happy Death

David   Gilmour
“Come on you target for faraway laughter. Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!”
Pink Floyd, Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here : Guitar Tab Edition [Songbook]
