#life

In everybody’s life there’s a point of no return. And in a very few cases, a point where you can’t go forward anymore. And when we reach that point, all we can do is quietly accept the fact. That’s how we survive. ↗

He has no master except his own soul and that I am sure is why he does it. ↗

— Roald Dahl

Human beings have neither kindness, nor faith, nor charity beyond what serves to increase the pleasure of the moment. ↗

On every level of life, from housework to heights of prayer, in all judgment and efforts to get things done, hurry and impatience are sure marks of the amateur. ↗

Every social organisation which is rooted in life still lasts a long time, even after the conditions from which it drew its strength have changed in a manner unfavourable to it. ↗
