"Do not destroy yourself, for if you live you may yet have good fortune. But, all the dead are dead alike." – C.S. Lewis

To the outside world we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other’s hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time.

I like this and on all these dreadful quotes websites it's attributed to “Clara Ortega”. Searching the quote or the name just yields more dreadful quotes websites. Who is Clara Ortega??

There is mention of a Clara Ortega here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rancho_San_Ysidro but no indication at all if it is the same.

EDIT: I know it's not especially groundbreaking or elegant but if you have a sibling you feel that it is true about then it does make you smile.

The search for Reality is the most dangerous of undertakings, since it destroys the world in which you live – Nisargadatta

When you find something beautiful — beyond all the words you have ever spoken can ever say — and that you can only greet it with silence. And then, slowly, you carve a smile – still marvelling at its beauty, in hopes that this time you will remember to live that moment a little bit longer.

"Stop acting so fucking wounded. The only person that can pick you up, push back your shoulders, wipe the tears, mend the broken bones, and get you out of your slump is you. Now go and live, there is so much to be happy about."

“Don’t be afraid of death; be afraid of an unlived life. You don’t have to live forever, you just have to live.” ― Natalie Babbitt

The Dalai Lama couldn’t be more correct..

When asked about what surprised him most about humanity he replied:

“Man surprised me most about humanity. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.” Dalai Lama

These days you are considered a weirdo if you live without a phone. yet nobody cares if you live without a purpose. anything wrong with that picture? – Ray N. Kuili, Awakening

“To love is to risk not being loved in return. To live is to risk dying. To hope is to risk despair. To try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.” DAVID ARTHUR WARD

“I think it’s much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of uncertainty about different things, but I am not absolutely sure of anything…" – Richard Feynman

I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of uncertainty about different things, but I am not absolutely sure of anything and there are many things I don't know anything about, such as whether it means anything to ask why we're here. I don't have to know an answer. I don't feel frightened not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without any purpose, which is the way it really is as far as I can tell.
