Andrew Zimmern - World we live

"Be a traveller, not a tourist. Try new things, meet new people, and look beyond what's right in front of you. Those are the keys to understanding this amazing world we live." ~Andrew Zimmern

Frédéric Gros Quotes

"Eternal Recurrence is the unfolding in a continuous circle of the repetition of those two affirmations, the circular transformation of the vibration of the presences." ~Frédéric Gros

"It's more a flashing moment: sudden flame, time catching fire. And here, the feeling of eternity is all at once that vibration between presences. Eternity, here, in a spark." ~Frédéric Gros

"The freedom in walking lies in not being anyone; for the walking body has no history, it is just an eddy in the stream of immemorial life." ~Frédéric Gros

"Then through natural compassion the heart opens, dilates spontaneously before the apparent pain, like petals opening to light." ~Frédéric Gros

"Work produces wealth as much as it produces poverty. Poverty in this sense is not the opposite of wealth: it is its exact complement." ~Frédéric Gros

"Writing ought to be this: testimony to a wordless, living experience." ~Frédéric Gros

Pandora Poikilos - Grow to live

“If there is one thing I can pass on from my humbling experiences in life, thus far, I will tell you this, the next time someone tells you 'the absence of expectations is the absence of disappointment, do not listen.' Have expectations. Keep them great. It'll be a very bumpy ride. You'll even get bruised, sometimes very badly. Sometimes, you'll come to an abrupt halt or even fall off your ride. But you'll grow. And if you do not grow, you do not live.” ~Pandora Poikilos

"Glass railing has stunning visual impact, adds openness, makes spaces feel bigger and facilitates light flow. It adds luxury and value to a home and when designed and installed correctly, is incredibly safe and functional." ~Ron Hastings

"I choose not to judge others... because in some areas of my own life,  I'm still on trial myself." ~Ron Hastings 

"Indian build small fire and watch wind. White man builds fire and hope that wind does not come up or change." ~Ron Hastings

"Isn’t it amazing how in a short period of time the world went from staying at home to reduce the effects of a global pandemic, to protesting a black man murdered by a dickhead [sic], to then being taken over by anarchists and terrorist’s looting and destroying businesses, and now destroying statues and wanting to erase history. History only ever repeats it'self which is such a shame as we are suppose to learn from the mistakes of the past" ~Ron Hastings

"Self-reliant strong people are very selective in allowing the essential people in their lives. They roar significantly at right time with right approach." ~Ron Hastings

"Sounds like a sensible idea. Perhaps we could offer free therapy to the very rich, so they could understand why they need more money than they could ever use. It is, after all, an illness, called Greed, condemned by all religious teachers throughout history" ~Ron Hastings 

"The minute you lose the sense of wonder, you start to die mentally and emotionally." ~Ron Hastings 

"There's way more to be made than what Sunrise will tell you." ~Ron Hastings

"... we give our kids life for them to live, not for us to live for them. They need to understand that 'we' collectively are NOT their security blankets, nor their bank accounts and NOT their verbal punching bags." ~Ron Hastings  May 9, 2021

"When we stand in our truth, there can be times when we face opposition and rocks of judgement are slung at us. Instead of allowing these judgments to attach and make us feel the need to conform or hide our true nature, shake them off and rise above the projections of others perspectives! Your inner-self knows you better than anyone else. Be truly honest with yourself. Discover the inner born spark and follow your passion in life. Your inner voice reflects your current self  and your mental strength. Rational thinking is required even when overwhelmed with emotion.A person with core mental quantum consciously chooses both their actions and reactions. Self-reliant strong people are very selective in allowing the essential people in their lives. They roar significantly at right time with right approach." ~Ron Hastings

Gustav Klimt Quotes

"All art is erotic." ~Gustav Klimt

"Although even when I am being idle I have plenty of food for thought both early and late - thoughts both about and not about art." ~Gustav Klimt

"I can paint and draw. I believe this myself and a few other people say that they believe this too. But I'm not certain of whether it's true." ~Gustav Klimt

"Sometimes I miss out the morning's painting session and instead study my Japanese books in the open." ~Gustav Klimt

"There is nothing that special to see when looking at me. I'm a painter who paints day in day out, from morning till evening - figure pictures and landscapes, more rarely portraits." ~Gustav Klimt

“Truth is like fire, to tell the truth means to glow and burn.” ~Gustav Klimt

"Whoever wants to know something about me - as an artist which alone is significant - they should look attentively at my pictures and there seek to recognise what I am and what I want." ~Gustav Klimt

BIO

John Dean - A great woman

"A man chooses a great woman as part of a Spiritual journey to bump up to a higher level. A great woman is the inspiration. If a man chooses a lesser woman for lower chakra reasons–i.e. casual sex for example, he does not want to do the work required to shift his consciousness into being a great man. You can always see the character of the man by the woman he chooses. We live in a throw-away society. Most don’t want to work hard to grow when the grass is greener…” ~John Dean

Featured Quote on Humour by Sandra Cisneros

"God made men by baking them in an oven, but he forgot about the first batch, and that's how Black people were born. And then he was so anxious about the next batch, he took them out of the oven too soon, so that's how White people were made. But the third batch he let cook until they were golden-golden-golden, and, honey, that's you and me." ~Sandra Cisneros

"Be the love you never received. Be the acknowledgement you never got. Be the listener you always needed. Look at the younger versions of yourself within you and give your self what it is you needed. That is the first step of healing. If you want others to see you, you must see yourself." ~Vienna Pharaon

"You must understand that it's going to take a lot of people to get you there. It takes rejection and redirection. It takes loss, battles, and resiliency. It takes hurt, pain and healing. You don't just show up at the top. You have to work for your own growth." ~Vienna Pharaon

"Instead of worrying about who's American and who's not, here's a better idea: Create incentives for any global company to do what we'd like it to do in the United States.
Most financiers, corporate lawyers, lobbyists, and management consultants are competing with other financiers, lawyers, lobbyists, and management consultants in zero-sum games that take money out of one set of pockets and put it into another." ~Robert B. Reich

"It's true that redistributing income to the needy is politically easier in a growing economy than in a stagnant one." ~Robert B. Reich

"No industries -- not airlines, not hotels, not cruise ships -- should be bailed out. They can stay in business by borrowing at rock-bottom rates, using their assets and collateral. Taxpayer money should be used to bail out people, not corporations." ~Robert B. Reich

"Only if everyone buys insurance can insurers afford to cover people with preexisting conditions or pay the costs of catastrophic diseases." ~Robert B. Reich

"Official boundaries are often hard to see. If you head north on Woodward Avenue, away from downtown Detroit, you wouldn't know exactly when you left the city and crossed over into Oakland County - except for a small sign that tells you." ~Robert B. Reich
