Quotes about Book

Every so often, a book comes into your hands that touches you – I mean really touches you – deep in your heart. Buddha’s Wife by Gabriel Constans does just that.  This really is a book that captivates (I read it in two days because I couldn’t put it down!) and fascinates.

A warm breeze blew through my window like a gentle wave lapping the sandy shore in summer at low tide, and as I took in a breath of air that blanketed my body like tall grass in a field I felt for just that moment in time, like I did when I was a child. I felt that I had not one worry, not one burden, nothing was on my mind accept that breeze that made the curtains swell like balloons.

A book is good company. It is full of conversation without loquacity. It comes to your longing with full instruction, but pursues you never.

If you are worried about love, then you do not love. Love and anxiety are not compatible states.

Our Higher Self, It is the home of the Divine Imagination Creating Love

Creating love is not about owning another person,is about generating a cycle of energy that easily regenerates to create more love

Magic is the art of using the energies provided by nature and the universe.

True love cannot exist in a state of duality. It is a healthy, holistic condition.
Mabel Iam
 
   
To live, think and act in the realization of the fact that there is more of me should be the constant purpose of every individual Mabel Iam


Learning to let the universe give you the love it has for you may be a completely foreign concept to you, listen  your heart, it always was speakinmg with  that language

Seek happiness in tranquility and avoid ambition, even if it be only the apparently innocent one of distinguishing yourself in science and discoveries.

"I think we ought to read only books that bite and sting us.  If the book does not shake us awake like a blow to the skull, why bother reading it in the first place?"

"Do you think that civilization advances because of things written in books? Not a bit of what is written in books ever got there until after the thought of it happened in someone's mind. Someone first had to collect it from space, or recollect it from its electrical pattern to which he (or she) had been attuned. The book is but a record of what has already happened."

A book is always an emergence above everyday life. A book is expressed life and thus is an addition to life.

A book is a human fact; a great book like Seraphita gathers together numerous psychological elements. These elements become coherent through a sort of psychological beauty. It does the reader a service.

Whoever lives for poetry must read everything. How often has the light of a new idea sprung for me from a simple brochure! When one allows himself to be animated by new images, he discovers iridescence in the images of old books. Poetic ages unite in a living memory. The new age awakens the old. The old age comes to live again in the new. Poetry is never as unified as when it diversifies.

The best proof of the specificity of the book is that it is at once a reality of the virtual and a virtuality of the real.

Written language must be considered as a particular psychic reality. The book is permanent; it is an object in your field of vision. It speaks to you with a monotonous authority which even its author would not have. You are fairly obliged to read what is written.

We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day.
