Som de

gamla sjunga

kvittra de unga

.

music never

judges you

.

yes

i am a dreamer

for a dreamer is one who can

only find his way by moonlight

and his punishment is

that he sees the dawn

before the rest of the world

.

and be on thy guard

against the good

and the just!

they would fainly curcify

those who defy their own virtues

they hate the lonesome ones

.

he who establishes

his argument by

noise and command

shows that his

reason is weak

.

music

never

judges you

.

life is like a camera
focus on whats important
capture the good times
develop from the negatives
and if things dont work out
just take another shot

.

It is that we are never
so defenceless against
suffering as when we love,
never so helplessly unhappy
as when we have lost our
loved object or its love.
But this does not dispose of
the technique of living based on
the value of love
as a means to
happiness.


.

wisdom may be

gauged exactly

by the diminution

of ill temper

.

you dont

choose love

love chooses you

.

one feels inclined to say

that the intention that

man should be

happy

is not included in

the plan of

creation

what we call happiness

in the strictest sense

comes from the

preferably sudden

satisfaction of needs

which have been dammed up

to a high degree

and it is from its nature

only possible as an

episodic phenomenon

when any situation

that is desired by the

pleasure principle is prolonged

it only produces a feeling

of mild contentment

we are so made that we can

derive intense enjoyment only

from a contrast

and very little

from a state of things

thus our possibilities of

happiness are

already restricted

by our constitution

unhappiness is much less

difficult to experience

.

the purpose of life is not to be happy

it is to be useful to be honorable

to be compassionate

to have it make some difference

that you have lived and lived well

.

the only way

to have a friend

is to be one

.
