The Laughter of Age

1. All around us, people lie with partners of their choosing or design. The same person becomes bedmate to many. They think, ah...how well I'm living, this must be happiness! Yet between them and their lovers, there is no communion of souls. When you think about it, it seems the soul itself is absent in so many.

2. Love was not made for us; we were made to love one another.

3. Emotion can shift in two minutes, sometimes less. But if you manage to build an image of yourself, you rarely need to chase emotions around for the rest of your life.

4. If you want to find something true, look into a person's eyes; their lips are only practiced liars.

5. The older a person is, the more beautiful they are, because their quiet smile knows how to eclipse the loud laughter of many a younger soul with the weight of experience.

6. Until now, the only good news is this: money cannot buy everything.
Until now, the only sad news is this: money cannot buy everything.

7. Rich, refined, cultured...the dictionary says these words mean the same thing, but in life they mean nothing of the sort.

8. The day a person truly begins to think of age as just a number, that is the day their age begins to diminish.

9. Those who stay awake all night or deep into the night—not all of them are seekers, some are simply weary of life. From too much weariness, sleep flees.

10. Some things we must keep even from ourselves, and yet we find it comforting to spill our guts to someone, anyone! How strange we are.
