Book: Phantom pain

...That's what I love about life - there are always so many surprises, which do not obey any laws and the passage of time it looks awful naturally and consistently. The paradox, but what fun!

Bodies are like vessels, they are splashing the soul. In one vessel, another, third. No points. Although something like taste accumulates. Well, here's how your cognac, zastaivayas in oak barrels, in fact, becomes cognac. Only thing is not in what he will eventually become, but in the process. Happiness, you say? What could be a conversation about happiness, if you all - well most - I treat myself to either memories or dreams. And that this minute, not something that is not appreciate, did not notice. Except occasionally.

Happy kids are just happy parents!

Impossible a life of joy and happiness, in the enjoyment of every day?

This feeling trusted native hands gripping my elbow, when it seems that life is over when everything is bad and nothing will fix it...

If something happened to you, then either deserve it, or you sent the test. And... everyone is given as much as he can to make...

Man... instead fill your life with beauty and creation... eternally dissatisfied imperfect body, the contents of the wallet, a wife who is not Marilyn Monroe, her husband, who is not a billionaire and not a Nobel laureate...

For the Universe each individual is important. Every loss hurts. What a pain in humans, an amputated leg.

To ask forgiveness is just words. Even if everything inside is torn from the pain, shame if corrosive acid burns the insides, leaving a dry gray flakes.

Always need hope only for themselves and not wait that someone will decide something for you...

After all, in fact, man does not need neither diamonds nor fur, nor even the crown of all beauty pageants. The person needs to be loved. Not to look at him as a blank space. That is, to love himself, with his own traits, desires and attitudes, and not invented in someone's head the object for love.

Maintaining the hearth fire is also a job that is not easier, not easier and certainly not worse than any other. In fact things is one of the most important human work.

The world order justice - a myth, and no such equality does not exist in nature. And the people themselves diligently cultivate all sorts of comparisons, and hence inequality.

As there can be no light without shadow and shadow without light. And certainly no God or devil outside of you. You, like everything else in this world, just part of the overall system, and outside of you only when its forming. But in you is the heavenly height, and hell's abyss, you choose what and who to serve... And then - God, the devil. Anything not personal responsibility.
