on leave

«We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.»
«We Communists are men on leave»
Author: Eugen Levine | About: Communism | Keywords: Communists, on leave
«Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.»

«To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.»
«If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor.»
«It is wrong to think that misfortunes come from the east or from the west; they originate within one's own mind. Therefore, it is foolish to guard against misfortunes from the external world and leave the inner mind uncontrolled.»
«You must leave righteous ways behind, not to speak of unrighteous ways.»
«I once sent a dozen of my friends a telegram saying 'flee at once - all is discovered.' They all left town immediately.»
