#Concern Quotes

“We have become makers of our fate when we have ceased to pose as its prophets.”
“The headgear thing's great. It's like a headband, so it's not heavy or anything like that at all. I was able to do everything fine.”
“A line is a fuse that's lit. The line smolders, the rhyme explodesâ€” and by a stanza a city is blown to bits.”
“I would say that the one incredible thing that Karachi has going for it is the unabated supply of new migrants that pour into it day after day. It could be a poor factory worker who simply wants a job, it could be an ambitious guy coming for an education - they all add hope and vibrancy to the city. Now, this is not something that is generally taken as positive in Karachi. But the hope is that the migration that comes into the city replenishes its stores of resilience and energy.”
“In music, silence is more important than sound.”
“Christian morality (so called) has all the characters of a reaction.... In its horror of sensuality, it made an idol of asceticism, which has been gradually compromised away into one of legality. It holds out the hope of heaven and the threat of hell, as the appointed and appropriate motives to a virtuous life - in this falling far below the best of the ancients, and doing what lies in it to give to human morality an essentially selfish character.... It is essentially a doctrine of passive obedience; it inculcates submission to all authorities found established.”
“Forgiveness and the release of the past open the creative flow of life, supporting all levels of mind, heart, body, emotion, and spirit. This energy flow determines the state of our health, our desire to create and procreate, our willingness to develop our gifts, and how we use or deny the life force that we are given as human beings. . . . by choosing to let go of the past, our fears, and our negative patterns or reactions to life, we are suddenly funded with a resurgence of life force, which propels us into a newfound way of being and a very different way of understanding the world.”
“In order to be a winner, you have to look for ways of getting things done and not for reasons why things canâ€™t be done. People who live with excuses have things that canâ€™t be done hovering around them all the time.”
