“Truth never damages a cause that is just.” — Mahatma Gandhi

“But when the soul partakes of good
Or truth, which are her savoury food,
By some far subtler chemistry
It is not they that change, but she,
Who feels them enter with the state
Of conquerors her opened gate,
Or, mirror-like, digests their ray
By turning luminous as they.“ 
— C.S. Lewis

(From “On a Theme From Nicolas of Cusa”)

“Truth is a constant delight to those that love her; such beauty holds no power to offend.” — Stephen R. Lawhead

“The truth was obscure,
Too profound and too pure,
To live it you had to explode”

“The true beauty of the inner self is its spirit nurturing truth which breathes joy and happiness into our very soul. By living life in harmony and balance we awaken our inner universe and cultivate infinite love for all beings. The essence of being alive is to live an inspired life of higher self discovery that opens doorways to richness of spirit and inspires us to embrace the Earth as a sacred womb of love.” — Micheal Teal

“Happiness isn’t the reward we retrieve after a long struggle. It arrives daily, in those clear moments when our hearts are tender, pricked by the embrace of a loved one, the beauty of a single flower, the majesty of the world in which we are central. Look over your shoulder at how far you’ve come and all the good things you’ve experienced and that is when you will see the smiling face of happiness.” — Toni Sorenson

“The whole series of my life appeared to me as a dream; I sometimes doubted if indeed it were all true, for it never presented itself to my mind with the force of reality.” — Mary Shelley 

First Day of Spring ! (by [ angela ])

kevinharling1:

It is in vexes, in folds of

hands that touch time.

In avenues and contradictions,

in resolutions and handshakes

that seek to apologize.

It is immersed on surfaces,

in the silent suffocation of days lost,

in syllables and positions of agitation.

In nausea and the transparency of lies,

in fences of complication,

contrasts and contemplations,

in feigning and the summoning of truth.

It is unyielding, your subtle gaze,

my breath and the silence to which

this owes its testament.

“We let rip with idealism and grand words, but it’s nothing but rationalizations of our own egoistic behavior. Not only do we lie to others; we also lie to ourselves. Each one of us lives inside a house of mirrors — our own instinctive self-righteousness distorts the way we view reality so that we can justify our actions to ourselves. And there’s no way we can escape.” — Christian Jungersen

Natural post-processing: pre-processing! (by Luca Zappacosta)

“The challenge remains. On the other side are formidable forces: money, political power, the major media. On our side are the people of the world and a power greater than money or weapons: the truth. 
Truth has a power of its own. Art has a power of its own. That age-old lesson – that everything we do matters – is the meaning of the people’s struggle here in the United States and everywhere. A poem can inspire a movement. A pamphlet can spark a revolution. Civil disobedience can arouse people and provoke us to think, when we organize with one another, when we get involved, when we stand up and speak out together, we can create a power no government can suppress. We live in a beautiful country. But people who have no respect for human life, freedom, or justice have taken it over. It is now up to all of us to take it back.” — Howard Zinn
