“Isn't
it odd how much fatter a book gets when you've read it several times?" Mo
had said..."As if something were left between the pages every time you
read it. Feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells...and then, when you look at the
book again many years later, you find yourself there, too, a slightly younger
self, slightly different, as if the book had preserved you like a pressed
flower...both strange and familiar.”
―
Cornelia Funke, Inkspell
“Yes,
I was infatuated with you: I am still. No one has ever heightened such a keen
capacity of physical sensation in me. I cut you out because I couldn't stand
being a passing fancy. Before I give my body, I must give my thoughts, my mind,
my dreams. And you weren't having any of those.”
―
Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath
“We
are addicted to our thoughts. We cannot change anything if we cannot change our
thinking.”
―
Santosh Kalwar, Quote Me Everyday
“The
soul becomes dyed with the colour of its thoughts.”
―
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
“There
is so much about my fate that I cannot control, but other things do fall under
the jurisdiction. I can decide how I spend my time, whom I interact with, whom
I share my body and life and money and energy with. I can select what I can
read and eat and study. I can choose how I'm going to regard unfortunate
circumstances in my life-whether I will see them as curses or opportunities. I
can choose my words and the tone of voice in which I speak to others. And most
of all, I can choose my thoughts.”

Elizabeth Gilbert
“Guard
well your thoughts when alone and your words when accompanied.”
―
Roy T. Bennett
“Closed
in a room, my imagination becomes the universe, and the rest of the world is
missing out.”

Criss Jami, Diotima, Battery, Electric Personality
“When
her body first hit the net, all I registered was a gray blur. I pulled her
across it and her hand was small, but warm, and then she stood before me, short
and thin and plain and in all ways unremarkable- except that she had jumped
first. The stiff had jumped first.
Even
I didn't jump first.
Her
eyes were so stern, so insistent.
Beautiful.”
―
Veronica Roth, Allegiant
“I
do my best thinking at night when everyone else is sleeping. No interruptions.
No noise. I like the feeling of being awake when no one else is.”
―
Jennifer Niven, All the Bright Places
“Doubt
as sin. — Christianity has done its utmost to close the circle and declared
even doubt to be sin. One is supposed to be cast into belief without reason, by
a miracle, and from then on to swim in it as in the brightest and least
ambiguous of elements: even a glance towards land, even the thought that one
perhaps exists for something else as well as swimming, even the slightest
impulse of our amphibious nature — is sin! And notice that all this means that
the foundation of belief and all reflection on its origin is likewise excluded
as sinful. What is wanted are blindness and intoxication and an eternal song
over the waves in which reason has drowned.”
―
Friedrich Nietzsche, Daybreak: Thoughts on the Prejudices of Morality
“I
seem to have run in a great circle, and met myself again on the starting line.”
―
Jeanette Winterson, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit
“It's
okay to disagree with the thoughts or opinions expressed by other people. That
doesn't give you the right to deny any sense they might make. Nor does it give
you a right to accuse someone of poorly expressing their beliefs just because
you don't like what they are saying. Learn to recognize good writing when you
read it, even if it means overcoming your pride and opening your mind beyond
what is comfortable.”
―
Ashly Lorenzana
“You're
only a man! You've not our gifts! I can tell you! Why, a woman can think of a
hundred different things at once, all them contradictory!”
―
Georgette Heyer, Powder and Patch
“Where
does a thought go when it's forgotten?”
―
Sigmund Freud
“There
are so many things that demand to be said. Where did you go? Do you ever think
about me? You've ruined me. Are you okay? But of course, I can't say any of
that.”
―
Gayle Forman, Where She Went
“It’s
important that what thoughts you are feeding into your mind because your
thoughts create your belief and experiences. You have positive thoughts and you
have negative ones too. Nurture your mind with positive thoughts: kindness,
empathy, compassion, peace, love, joy, humility, generosity, etc. The more you
feed your mind with positive thoughts, the more you can attract great things
into your life.”
―
Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
“A
sick thought can devour the body's flesh more than fever or consumption.”
―
Guy de Maupassant, Le Horla et autres contes fantastiques
“There
is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn't.”
―
