Anima Mundi Spira Mirabilis

A smattering of pixels, sputtering words, in-between heartbeats.

What is the best advice anyone has ever given you until now?
Jean Seberg:
My mother used to say: "Never lose the privilege of being entirely content with yourself while being willfully all alone in your room, with solely your cat as a company." This is still, my idea of self-respect, I guess. I kind of always accept the mood of the moment and never try to go against it.

The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it is not. It is an existential truth: only those people who are capable of being alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core of the other person - without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other. They allow the other absolute freedom, because they know that if the other leaves, they will be as happy as they are now. Their happiness cannot be taken by the other, because it is not given by the other.
Osho, Being In Love. (via lithely)
