The obscure we see eventually.
The completely obvious,
it seems, takes longer.
- Edward R. Murrow

People say conversation is a lost art;
how often I have wished it were.

that people feel sorry for them
and cover them up,
at least a little bit.

We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason
if we dig deep in our history and remember
that we are not descended from fearful men,
not from men who feared to write, to speak,
to associate and to defend causes
which were for the moment unpopular.
- Edward R. Murrow

and then boom - it's gone.
- Edward R. Murrow

doesn't mean you are wiser
than when it reached only to the end of the bar.

does not connote freedom to err.

Our loved ones -
whether by blood, by marriage, or by choice -
are delicate treasures.
If we hold them too close, they break -

the freedom of our loved ones,
we gain our own freedom.
Have the courage to trust that
the beautiful butterflies of your life
will return - or not - as life intends.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

The freedom we are looking for

are not even aware that we are not free.
-Don Miguel Ruiz

Love allows your beloved the freedom to be unlike you.

Attachment tries to exclude everything but two people.
- Deepak Chopra in The Path to Love

the strongest of us struggle in vain.

Regrets and their cousins, resentments,
are a huge cause of self-inflicted suffering.
Sometimes it takes years of psychotherapy
to gain freedom from regrets about what you did or did not do,
and freedom from resentment over what others did or did not do.
Sometimes it takes a lifetime of self-talk to remember
to put the past in the past where it belongs.
However, sometimes a simple symbolic act can help immeasurably
to grant ourselves freedom from the past.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

A loving relationship is one in which
the loved one is free to be himself -
to laugh with me, but never at me;
to cry with me, but never because of me;
to love life, to love himself,
to love being loved.
Such a relationship is based upon freedom
and can never grow in a jealous heart.
- Leo F. Buscaglia

One can know the whole world;
Without looking out of the window,
One can see the way of heaven.
The further one goes, The less one knows.

I have never found a companion that was
so companionable as solitude.
We are for the most part more lonely
when we go abroad among men
than when we stay in our chambers.
A man thinking or working is always alone,
let him be where he will.
- Henry David Thoreau
