“Truth is an honest saint,
ignorance is a helpless scholar,
vice is an uncaring sinner,
and love is a kind sage.

Knowledge is the path,
understanding is the way,
wisdom is the highway,
and enlightenment is the destination.”
― Matshona Dhliwayo

“Anger has great strength,
but no brains.
Greed has many hands,
but no heart.
Fear has many titles,
but no honor.
Hatred has many forms,
but no soul.

Desire has great strength,
but no brains.
Agony has many hands,
but no heart.
Shame has many titles,
but no honor.
Ego has many forms,
but no soul.

Envy has great strength,
but no brains.
Malice has many hands,
but no heart.
Lust has many titles,
but no honor.
Evil has many forms,
but no soul.”
― Matshona Dhliwayo

“My Dear,
Find what you love and let it kill you. Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness. Let it kill you and let it devour your remains. For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it's much better to be killed by a lover.
-Falsely yours”
― Charles Bukowski

“If the past could be changed,
it would not exist.
If the future could be stopped,
it would not survive.
If the present could be avoided,
it would not prevail.

Time is everyone’s acquaintance,
life is everyone’s friend,
death is everyone’s enemy,
and existence is everyone’s soulmate.”
― Matshona Dhliwayo
