1 " Am I inconsequential to it all, a random, forgettable moment in your delicate, pastel existence? "
― John Casey , Raw Thoughts
2 " Too many walls in every direction, with cryptic boxes stacked too high to see. I cannot climb out and cannot push through to wherever I’ve left my empathy. "
3 " We'll be consoled somehow by the odd notionthat it's the thought that counts. "
4 " Even the happiest fall prey to the plastic, the vacuous virtual. And some little voice keeps whispering to us 'There’s something wrong here. "
5 " I’m grateful for the little things you do for me. Not to show that you love me, rather, because you love me. "
6 " Reach down deep and draw a line. Continue thinking, walking tall. The problem's theirs, never mine. The insanity of it all. "
7 " I'm grasping for some sense of alacrity and the compulsion to perform in a broad way, before life's random curtain call retires me from this tired satire, this comically absurd play. "
8 " I harbor an unbridled ardor of life, an impassioned love for living. Not for being, for existence. Rather, a zeal for the Earth's entire spectrum of possibilities and experiences to choose from and to do. "
9 " Choosing to do nothing, or even the next best thing, because of apprehension or fear is a coward's failure. A craven dereliction. "
10 " Explaining true love is like conveying the sight of a sunrise to someone who’s always slept in. "
11 " The fates pay deference to the power of our love. Our disparate paths converge. I feel it. "
12 " A sorrow I feel, for beauty in distress. Delicate, bent and weeping. Assailed by hurt. "
13 " I find it all too easy to overlook the good things. I suppose this is common, but I don't wish to be common. "
14 " I’m grateful for the little things you do for me. Not to show me you love me, rather, because you love me. "
15 " If you believe you have found yourself, keep searching. You are deeper than you think. "
16 " In order to achieve sustained spiritual growth and serenity, you must first accept that it is your thoughts that make you who you are. "
17 " Reflect on your thoughts, understand and learn from who you were yesterday. Then add that knowledge to who you are today. In this manner, you will be a more knowledgeable and spiritual person tomorrow. Then do it again tomorrow. And the next day… "
18 " Evil is innate, I have found. Ignored or misunderstood, it develops insidiously, on its own. "
