I love the dark hours of my being.
My mind deepens into them.
There I can find, as in old letters,
the days of my life, already lived,
and held like a legend, and understood.
Rainer Marie Rilke
Just as a snake sheds its skin,
we must shed our past over and over again.
Gautama Buddha
Life can only be understood backwards;
but it must be lived forwards
Soren Kierkegaard
A lake is a landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature.
It is earth’s eye, looking into which, the beholder measures
the depth of his own nature.
Henry David Thoreau
Mental reflection is so much more interesting than TV, it’s a shame
more people don’t switch over to it. They probably think what they
hear is unimportant, but it never is.
Robert M. Pirsig
Understanding and accepting the decisions you have made,
good or bad, will make you bolder. Reflection helps punctuate
your past and indent your future.
Farshad Arsi
If you want to make a human being into a monster,
deny them, at the cultural level, any reflection of themselves.
