Rohinton Mistry, A Fine Balance

(Source: aseaofquotes)

“A righteous person will constantly bless each and every individual. His mouth is a source of life. The evil person, however, misuses his ability to speak by cursing and insulting others. This leads to other people cursing him back and creates much violence in the world. Make your mouth a source of life for people. Wouldn’t it be great if we could feel enough love and compassion for people who misuse their power of speech and in this manner influence them to be a source of blessing? Keep your eyes open. You may have that chance today.”
—   Rabbi Pliskin

“You have to decide what’s most important to you. Keeping your pride and getting nothing or taking a risk and maybe, maybe having everything.”
—   Dan Humphrey on Gossip Girl

“To dare is to lose one’s footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself.”
—   Soren Kierkegaard  (via elige)

“Maybe chance is a pretty common thing after all. Those kinds of coincidences are happening all around us, all the time, but most of them don’t attract our attention and we just let them go by. It’s like fireworks in the daytime. You might hear a faint sound, but even if you look up at the sky you can’t see a thing. But if we’re really hoping something may come true it may become visible, like a message rising to the surface. Then we’re able to make it out clearly, decipher what it means. And seeing it before us we’re surprised and wonder at how strange things like this can happen. Even though there’s nothing strange about it.”
—   Haruki Murakami (via black-wolves)
