 ~profound sayings by Diana Cortes

 ~inspirational sayings about Technology quotes by Carl Sagan

  'Tis the good reader that makes the good book; in every book he finds passages which seem confidences or asides hidden from all else and unmistakenly meant for his ear; the profit of books is according to the sensibility of the reader; the profoundest thought or passion sleeps as in a mine, until it is discovered by an equal mind and heart.

  In a profound sense every man has two halves to his being; he is not one person so much as two persons trying to act in unison.

 ~inspirational sayings about Self-Discovery quotes by Richard Bach

  Every day we slaughter our finest impulses. That is why we get a heart-ache when we read those lines written by the hand of a master and recognize them as our own, as the tender shoots which we stifled because we lacked the faith to believe in our own powers, our own criterion of truth and beauty. Every man, when he gets quiet, when he becomes desperately honest with himself, is capable of uttering profound truths. We all derive from the same source. There is no mystery about the origin of things. We are all part of creation, all kings, all poets, all musicians; we have only to open up, to discover what is already there.
 ~profound quotes by Henry Miller, Sexus
