"And there are never really endings, happy or otherwise. Things keep going on, they overlap and blur, your story is part of your sister's story is part of many other stories, and there is no telling where any of them may lead."
― Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus
"We say that flowers return every spring, but that is a lie. It is true that the world is renewed. It is also true that that renewal comes at a price, for even if the flower grows from an ancient vine, the flowers of spring are themselves new to the world, untried and untested.
The flower that wilted last year is gone. Petals once fallen are fallen forever. Flowers do not return in the spring, rather they are replaced. It is in this difference between returned and replaced that the price of renewal is paid.
And as it is for spring flowers, so it is for us."
― Daniel Abraham, The Price of Spring
"Everything turns in circles and spirals with the cosmic heart until infinity. Everything has a vibration that spirals inward or outward — and everything turns together in the same direction at the same time. This vibration keeps going: it becomes born and expands or closes and destructs — only to repeat the cycle again in opposite current. Like a lotus, it opens or closes, dies and is born again. Such is also the story of the sun and moon, of me and you. Nothing truly dies. All energy simply transforms."
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem
"With regard to things such as independence, mental capabilities, and sexuality, a very old man is nothing but a gigantic infant with white hair and wrinkles."
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana
"There are some souls who develop a penchant and an unhealthy appetite for a certain kind of experience. So, they experience an awful lot of those experiences. These souls are addicted, just like a smoker is, to cigarettes. But it does not make them any less inferior or bad. It just delays their journey."
― Abhaidev, The Gods Are Not Dead
"Dharma or Ethics and Morals are the Fundamental Set of Rules created for those who want to Play the Game, by those who are Inside the Game."
― Vineet Raj Kapoor
"If there were no beginnings and if there were no endings, we would have the absence of inertia and the presence of stagnation."
― Craig D. Lounsbrough
"On the land an oak will grow
On a bough an owl may stand
From lasting cloud a rain will fall
Upon the earth to water seed.
Each to each returns its need
To act upon the other's call
No locking ring may stay the hand
Nor halt the seasons as they flow.
- Little Song"
― John Fairfax, Adrift on the Star Brow of Taliesin
"I guess I think differently than most folks. I think the reason the world is a mystical, enchanting place, is because of the cycle of life. My body will decompose, but maybe some little element of it will be transformed into a particle of dirt, over years and years,and then a glorious flower will be nurtured by this particle of dirt. Then this flower will nourish a random bumblebee, who in turn will be eaten by a raven. So, in some future life, I'll be able to fly. I look forward to that. I've always admired the freedom of birds."
― E. M. Crane
"It's almost August, and the last swarm of lovebugs swirls around me, their tiny connected bodies a tragedy. They're born, they fuck, they die a horrific death splattered against an uncaring windshield. That's the cycle: The ones we love always die."
― Shaun David Hutchinson, The Five Stages of Andrew Brawley
"That's the problem with things dying. They're stuck being dead forever while everything else evolves and makes new stories."
― Rasmenia Massoud, You Don't See Any of This
"Humans like to consider everything as linear, when in reality everything is cyclic.
They are obsessed with straight lines. Straight roads, straight houses, straight pieces of steel, glass, and timber. Straight cut diamonds. Let's get straight to the point. Be straight with me. I am straight, not gay.
And this is how they see their lives. A linear journey, along the road of life. That is where expressions such as Highway to Hell come from.
But what about other expressions, such as the life cycle, the cycle of nature, and the weather cycle?
Because of this obsession with straight lines, they view history and historical events, as existing way back along an imaginary path, one they are sure they are far away from. Like watching a fading wake from a ship.
So when they look at the religious wars, for example, the Christians versus the Muslims, the rise and fall of Empires, democracies and dictatorships, they seem blind when comparing present day situations with those of the past.
The majority of humans see evolution as a race along a straight race track, a race they are winning by a long margin, yet they are afraid to ever slow down, in case other life catches them.
If they did slow down long enough, they may observe that the track is actually cyclic."
― Robert Black
"Whenever a river reaches the ocean, it waits to go back.."
― Will Advise
"Es wurde Herbst und Winter. Es wurde Sommer. Es wurde dunkel, und es wurde hell."
― Peter Stamm, Unformed Landscape
"The land is never truly dead. It can always come back. Or what is the meaning of the cycle of seasons and years?" She wiped her tears away and looked at him.
His expression in the darkness was much too sad for a moment such as this. She wished she knew a way to dispel that sorrow, and not only for tonight. He said, "That is mostly true, I suppose. Or true for the largest things. Smaller things can die. People, dreams, a home."
― Guy Gavriel Kay, Tigana
"Cultivated crops, like words, like language, are things that glide into view out of the murkiness of the past. I think of my words as mine, but the chances are than even after fifty or sixty or seventy years of chewing on them, writing them down, word-processing them as a speaker and as a writer, I won't succeed in putting a single new one into circulation. Same with plants, with crops, as a gardener and farmer. What we're given in words and cultivated plants has been worked over for hundreds of generations before it comes to us, and the chances of our adding to it are very slim. What we add is illusion: each time we're born, the world looks new, is new, which gives us a strange kind of leverage against the weight of accumulated biological and cultural existence, which means for a while, off and on, now and then, under certain circumstances, we believe we are the owners or managers or the franchise operators of this world, not the other way around, and that we have invented almost everything in sight, from the words that drop so easily from our mouths to the plants we grow in our gardens."
― Stanley Crawford, A Garlic Testament: Seasons on a Small New Mexico Farm
"I felt I was New Age before it became hip (and now passé), and disliked the name given to this 'recent' wave of spiritual interest in the 1980s because the word 'new' was in it: this word automatically implies that the phase will soon pass into something either "established" or stale, or will be chronicled as an ephemeral fad or phase to be found on some old bookshelf one day. Again, passé. For instance, the New Thought movement faded with the smoke of the Great War, the war to end all wars – which later was reclassified as WWI. Indeed, just a few years into the new 21st century, New Age was becoming old. Smooth jazz seemed to replace the name in music, and holistic and integral were the latest catch words describing the eclectic philosophy of the past decades. Astrologers were laughing: they knew the planetary alignments that predicted this network of integrated thought; it was the same inspiration behind the world wide web. Uranus (technological innovations, groups) and Neptune (images, imagination) reunited in the mid 1990s in the practical sign of Capricorn; we all became more connected with the next jump in electronics, technology and vision, right on cue. The world wide wave (www) was here. That wave came in, peaked in the 1990s, everyone was refreshed and expanded (some got drenched), and the promoters were now looking for new packaging. By the end of the 1990s, the Dot.com bubble burst. It was time for the next phase."
― Stephen Poplin, Inner Journeys, Cosmic Sojourns: Life transforming stories, adventures and messages from a spiritual hypnotherapist's casebook
"She was no fool. She had never expected the future before them to be perfect. She knew life had its cycles. There would be War and there would be Peace. There would be victories as well as defeats, joys as well as sorrows. Griefs and celebrations would have their place, love and hate would have their times. Nesrin knew this and she accepted it. But, they did not matter. She did not need a happily ever after to be happy. She didn't live there, in the future. She lived here, in the present, where eternity touched the human soul. It was all that mattered.
And right here, right now, all was right with the world."
― May K., Rename the Stars
"In some respects, generations rebelling against their parents result in resemblance to their grandparents."
― Criss Jami
"Vanity and ambition as education. - So long as a man has not yet become an instrument of general human utility let him be plagued by ambition; if that goal has been attained, however, if he is working with the necessity of a machine for the good of all, then let him be visited by vanity; it will humanize him and make him more sociable, endurable and indulgent in small things, now that ambition (to render him useful) has finished roughhewing him."
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits
"When my men touched you, it gave me the power to see you such susceptible. It made me forget myself. It separated you from me, from the shame of having you. From the unbreakable cycle of repetition."
― Neda Aria, Rythm of Missing Pieces
"But then she thought about the falcon, how it was made to do what it did and had no choice in the matter. It was eat pigeon (or sparrow or rat or raccoon) or die, and Kid supposed that the beauty of the falcon was directly related to its ability to kill, a completely different kind of beauty than the beauty of the pigeon, and that humans' ability to recognize the two beauties and not to call one beautiful and the other ugly said a lot about humans in ways you could probably spend years contemplating."
― Anne Fleming, The Goat
"People die. Times end. Suffering and war circle into being like the rains of autumn and the winds of spring. You know this. We did not, and do not, bring evil into these realms. It is already here. How many cities had you burned before you took this penitent path? How much blood have you seen our enemies spill? How much suffering fills life without the True Gods ever lifting a finger?"
― John French, Tower Of Empty Mirrors
"When rude Boreas' oppresses,
Fall the leaves; they reappear,
Wooed by Zephyr's soft caresses.
Fields that Sirius burns deep grown
By Arcturus' watch were sown:
Each the reign of law confesses,
Keeps the place that is his own."
― Boethius, Consolation of Philosophy
"Neither birth nor deah, is the beginning or end; it's the cycle of life."
― Vikrmn: CA Vikram Verma, Krishna Crux
