αναστασια παυλου

“Έρχεται κάποια στιγμή, όπου η μεγαλειότητά μας, ο εαυτός μας, είναι ανάγκη να περάσει στην αίθουσα του θρόνου με τους αυλικούς του, το νου και την καρδιά, για ν' αποφασίσει επάνω στον καταστατικό χάρτη της ζωής του.”
― Τάσος Αθανασιάδης, Η αίθουσα του θρόνου

“Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place.”
― Rumi

“The world is full of willing people, some willing to work, the rest willing to let them.”
― Robert Frost

“My dear,
In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love.
In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile.
In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm.
I realized, through it all, that…
In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.
And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.

Truly yours,
Albert Camus”

I like this because only one part is usually quoted but the full quote has such symmetry.”
