Quotes: 

 

Carl Jung:

“One cannot live the afternoon of life according to the program of life’s morning; for what was great in the morning will be of little importance in the evening, and what in the morning was true will at evening become a lie." 

 

Bono:

 “Could you imagine Ireland in the '70s, it's a civil war….The country's dividing along sectarian lines. I was very suspicious, and still am a little suspicious of ... religious people, I mean, religion is often a club that people use to beat someone else over the head with. I learnt that at a very early age in Ireland.”

 

Joseph Campbell:

“People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life…. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive” 

 

Alan Watts:

"No one imagines that a symphony is supposed to improve as it goes along, or that the whole object of playing is to reach the finale. The point of music is discovered in every moment of playing and listening to it.
