Do you fall in love often? Yes often. With a view, with a book, with a dog, a cat, with numbers, with friends, with complete strangers, with nothing at all.

Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.

The desire to know your own soul will end all other desires.

my beliefs in opposites
by seeing myself in all.

“Well, I just think they’re just about the most romantic thing you can imagine. I guess I was about eight when I first hit a rock and it fell apart and I saw, inside that rock, a shining, glittering, perfect seashell complete in every detail, and knowing that nobody had seen that before, and it had been laying without the sun shining on it for 100 or 200 million years. Now, that seems to me unbelievably romantic. And fossils have always seemed to me that way. There’s also the part of the treasure hunt in it, of course, you know, of finding things and collecting things. And who knows what you’re going to find when you turn over the next rock. But basically, it’s that thrill of looking at animals that lived a million, 10 million, 100 million years ago. ”
