Not all doors open in the same direction and with the same effort!

Easily mistaken, it is not about a love for adversity, it is about knowing a strength and a faith so great that adversity, in all its adverse manifestations, hardly even exists.

You look somewhere else, then you see something different and so your journey for wisdom starts! Wise man’s mind is the mind looking at everywhere!

Later that day when I walked down this dried-out riverbed, enjoying the last rays of sunshine on my bare skin, I felt a deep inner peace coming up straight from my heart.

Die wertvollste Reise ist die Reise zu unserem Selbst.

You will never attain wisdom without walking on different streets, without talking to different people, without reading different books, in short, without meeting with the things different in every aspect!

Some bow to the spirit of collectivism, while you ascend to the spirit of your own eclectic rhythms.

Songwriting and poetry are so commonly birthed from underdogs because one can make even the ugliest situations admirable, or more beautiful than the beautiful situations - they are the most graceful media in which the lines of society are distorted.

You aren’t meant to fit in. Your fierce warrior spirit is meant to tear down old systems that lack integrity.

If you want to change yourself, you have to change your point of view.

But through years of myth-making and fear-sowing, Christianity meta-morphosed antichrists into a single Antichrist, an apocalyptic villain and Christian bogeyman used to scare people as much as Santa Claus is used to regulate children's behavior. After years of studying the concept, I began to realize the Antichrist is a character--a metaphor--who exists in nearly all religions under different names, and maybe there is some truth in it, a need for such a person. But from another perspective, this person could be seen as not a villain but a final hero to save people from their own ignorance. The apocalypse doesn't have to be fire and a brimstone. It could happen on a personal level.

I think that before and after we kissed are two different timelines.

I'd like to believe that my kiss has made you see me in a whole different light.

In our ability to think about something differently lies the power to make it different.

The answer is not relevant to the knowledge of an inquiring mind.

In the end, we all have our different levels of moral values.

Unable to understand why you think so, when you chose a different path.

A human being too, is many things. Whatever makes up the air,the earth, the herbs, the stones is also part of our bodies. We must learn to be different, to feel and taste the manifold things that are us.

We ought to know that all people are not the same and so we must not expect the same attitude from all people. Different people behave differently and that is what makes different people different

Liberalism, contrary to popular belief, is facing backward in considering the injustice of its ancestors. Conservatism, contrary to popular belief, is facing forward in considering the psychology of its descendants. Definitively, it seems in the modern world that neither side really knows which direction it's facing, and men of the sharpest judgment are simply turned off from picking either of the poisons.

By just looking at a different direction than others, you may gain the vision of a genius because geniuses often do this!

Work and play is the same thing just with a different perspective.

People seem to be doing different things, but in reality they do the same thing: They just rush about without having any outstanding universal goal!

For a clever man, different cultures, different lives, different attitudes, different dreams, different of everything are a good teacher! You only take the things you already know from somebody or something like you!

Byron said once of the sea: ‘The monsters of the deep are made; each zone obeys thee; thou goest forth, dread, fathomless, alone,’ yet Sebastian called it, ‘A place where nobody beat us, fry us and eat us in fricassee’. Each to their own.

Differences disappear when faced with death.

We don't get harmony when everybody sings the same note. Only notes that are different can harmonize. The same is true with people.
