The greater danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it. Michelangelo (1475 – 1564)
Erich Fromm Quote – “Freedom is not a constant attribute…”
Freedom is not a constant attribute which we either “have” or “have not.” In fact, there is no such thing as “freedom” except as a word and an abstract concept. There is only one reality: the act of freeing ourselves in the process of making choices. In this process the degree of our capacity to make choices varies with each […]

Ghalib Quote – “My own sight is there blocking the view…”
The Veil My yearning has loosened the veil hiding Beauty. She is now mine — but alas, My own sight is there blocking the view. The beat of my own heart sounds in my ear.
