Suffering makes us capable of the full force of the Master of Delight; it makes us capable also to bear the utter play of the Master of Power. Pain is the key that opens the gates of strength; it is the high-road that leads to the city of beatitude.
Quote by -Sri Aurobindo
Death is but changing of our robes to wait in wedding garments at the Eternal's gate.
Quote by -Sri Aurobindo
The only work that spiritually purifies us is that which is done without personal motives.
Quote by -Sri Aurobindo
Outside and above the mind there is the play of a consciousness which is lighted by the higher Truth, but man is not conscious of it and of that he has to be conscious.
Quote by -Sri Aurobindo
The practice of Yoga brings us face to face with the extraordinary complexity of our own being.
Quote by -Sri Aurobindo
India of the ages is not dead nor has she spoken her last creative word; she lives and has still something to do for herself and the human peoples.
Quote by -Sri Aurobindo
We cannot afford to raise any institution to the rank of a fetish. To do so would be simply to become the slaves of our own machinery.
Quote by -Sri Aurobindo
The spiritual path is one of falling on your face, getting up, brushing yourself off, turning and looking sheepishly at God and then taking the next step.
Quote by -Sri Aurobindo
Trust the divine power, and she will free the godlike elements in you and shape all into an expression of divine nature.
Quote by -Sri Aurobindo
But difficulties were made to be overcome and if the Supreme Will is there, they will be overcome.
Quote by -Sri Aurobindo
The fly that touches honey cannot use it's wings; so too the soul that clings to spiritual sweetness ruins it's freedom and hinders contemplation.
Quote by -Sri Aurobindo
If a religion is not universal, it cannot be eternal. A narrow religion, a sectarian religion, an exclusive religion can live only for a limited time and a limited purpose.
Quote by -Sri Aurobindo
Arise, transcend Thyself, Thou art man and the whole nature of man Is to become more than himself.
Quote by -Sri Aurobindo
When I had the dividing reason, I shrank from many things; after I had lost it in sight, I hunted through the world for the ugly and the repellant, but I could no longer find them.
Quote by -Sri Aurobindo
... for we perceive that this miraculous development is not the result of our own efforts: an eternal Perfection is moulding us into its own image.
Quote by -Sri Aurobindo
We have to create strength where it did not exist before; we have to change our natures, and become new men with new hearts, to be born again ... We need a nucleus of men in whom the Shakti is developed to its uttermost extent, in whom it fills every corner of the personality and overflows to fertilise the earth. These, having the fire of Bhawani in their hearts and brains, will go forth and carry the flame to every nook and cranny of our land.
Quote by -Sri Aurobindo
They proved to me by convincing reasons that God does not exist; Afterwards I saw God, for he came and embraced me. And now what am I to believe- the reasoning of others or my own experience? Truth is what the soul has seen and experienced; the rest is appearance, prejudice and opinion.
Quote by -Sri Aurobindo
Wikipedia is the first place I go when I'm looking for knowledge... or when I want to create some.
Quote by -Stephen Colbert
The body knows things a long time before the mind catches up to them. I was wondering what my body knew that I didn't.
Quote by -Sue Monk Kidd
It was not a question of knowledge...but of alertness, a fastidious transcription of what could be thought about something, once it swam into the stream of attention.
Quote by -Susan Sontag
I had no proof that I had the stuff to be an artist, though I hungered to be one.
Quote by -Patti Smith
We are here and it is now. Further than that, all human knowledge is moonshine.
Quote by -H. L. Mencken
I didn't know the term 'synesthesia' until I was working on 'Cruel Summer.' Halfway into writing that, I really understood that, my entire life, I had been trying to describe this condition of mine: through painting, through this seven-screen Surround Vision film we shot in Qatar, through all these things.
Quote by -Kanye West
If you keep on writing for three years, every day, you should be strong. Of course, you have to be strong mentally, also. But in the first place, you have to be strong physically. That is a very important thing. Physically and mentally you have to be strong.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
I had my jazz club and I had enough money. So I didn't have to write for my living.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
When I write about a 15-year old, I jump, I return to the days when I was that age. It's like a time machine. I can remember everything. I can feel the wind. I can smell the air. Very actually. Very vividly.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
When I am writing, I do not distinguish between the natural and supernatural. Everything seems real. That is my world, you could say.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
Whenever I write a novel, music just sort of naturally slips in (much like cats do, I suppose).
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
When I was a teenager, I thought how great it would be if only I could write novels in English. I had the feeling that I would be able to express my emotions so much more directly than if I wrote in Japanese.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
There's no such thing as perfect writing, just like there's no such thing as perfect despair.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
Stories lie deep in our souls. Stories lie so deep at the bottom of our hearts that they can bring people together on the deepest level. When I write a novel, I go into such depths.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
You have to be practical. So every time I say, if you want to write a novel you have to be practical, people get bored. They are disappointed. They are expecting a more dynamic, creative, artistic thing to say. What I want to say is: you have to be practical.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
For me, writing a novel is like having a dream. Writing a novel lets me intentionally dream while I'm still awake. I can continue yesterday's dream today, something you can't normally do in everyday life.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
When I start to write, I don't have any plan at all. I just wait for the story to come.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
I just wanted to write something about running, but I realized that to write about my running is to write about my writing. It's a parallel thing in me.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
I try not to think about anything special while running. As a matter of fact, I usually run with my mind empty. However, when I run empty-minded, something naturally and abruptly crawls in sometime. That might become an idea that can help me with my writing.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
Before I became a writer, I was running a jazz bar in the center of Tokyo, which means that I worked in filthy air all the time late into the night. I was very excited when I started making a living out of my writing, and I decided, 'I will live in nothing but an absolutely healthy way.'
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
Since I have come to America, I am often asked whether my next novel will be set in America. I don't think it will. I think I will be living in America for some time to come, but while living in America, I would like to write about Japanese society from the outside.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
Writing is fun - at least mostly. I write for four hours every day. After that I go running. As a rule, 10 kilometers (6.2 miles). That's easy to manage.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
In my younger days, I was trying to write sophisticated prose and fantastic stories.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
Every writer has his writing technique - what he can and can't do to describe something like war or history. I'm not good at writing about those things, but I try because I feel it is necessary to write that kind of thing.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
I am 55 years old now. It takes three years to write one book. I don't know how many books I will be able to write before I die. It is like a countdown. So with each book I am praying - please let me live until I am finished.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
I think history is collective memories. In writing, I'm using my own memory, and I'm using my collective memory.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
My priority is my books, at least at this point. What I have to do is write the narrative of this time.
Quote by -Haruki Murakami
