I hope the writer is telling that to himself.

Making up quotes then assigning them to anonymous is nefarious in the extreme.

I am glad you practice what you preach, anonymous.

The fact is all quotes are made up. I thought you knew that.

It pays to be obvious, especially if you have a reputation for subtlety.

“But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.”
― Carl Sagan

"A University Professor went to see an enlightened Master, to find out more about spiritual enlightenment.

As their meeting continued ‘The Master’ was pouring tea and continued to pour even though the cup was overflowing.

The Professor cried. “Enough! No more will go in!”

‘The Master’ replied “Like this cup you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you spiritual enligtenment unless you first empty your cup?”

That’s a great summary of spiritual enlightenment. It’s not something that you find. You become enlightened when you discard aspects of your ego that block your connection with the divine.

We're taught to be ashamed of confusion, anger, fear and sadness, and to me they're of equal value to happiness, excitement and inspiration.~~~
Alanis Morissette

 

[aristotle]

“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me
that happiness was the key to life. When I went to
school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I
grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I
didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them
they didn’t understand life.”
― John Lennon

You don't have to win every argument. Stay true to yourself.

Everyone wants to tell their side of the story. May be for most, lack of knowing how to write, silence is the constraint...
