"Without freedom, creativity cannot flourish. The right..." - Quote by Dalai Lama

“You have to start giving first and expect absolutely nothing.”

“You must not hate those who do wrong or harmful things; but with compassion, you must do what you can to stop them — for they are harming themselves, as well as those who suffer from their actions.”

“Most of our problems are related to the mind, so we have to work to reduce our destructive emotions.”

“There is absolutely no reason for being rushed along with the rush. Everybody should be free to go slow.”

“It is not a lack of real affection that scares me away again and again from marriage. Is it a fear of the comfortable life, of nice furniture, of dishonor that I burden myself with, or even the fear of becoming a contented bourgeois.”

“Through want of enterprise and faith men are where they are, buying and selling and spending their lives like servants.”

“A poet is a world enclosed in a man.”

“All art is in the last analysis an endeavor to condense as out of the flying vapor of the world an image of human perfection, and for its own and not for the art's sake.”

“There is then creative reading as well as creative writing. When the mind is braced by labor and invention, the page of whatever book we read becomes luminous with manifold allusion. Every sentence is doubly significant, and the sense of our author is as broad as the world.”
