Quote of the Day

I have found that the greatest degree of inner tranquility comes from the development of love and compassion. The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease.

~ the Dalai Lama

Anais Nin

Life shrinks or expands

Anais Nin | September 2016 (Vol. XXIX, No. 8)

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.

~ Anais Nin

Each friend represents a world in us

Anais Nin | February 2015 (Vol. XXVIII, No. 2)

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

~ from THE DIARY OF ANAIS NIN
