I did my homework and didn't go out much, and had a very highly developed kitsch fantasy life where I dreamed of being a dancing girl. ~Emily Mortimer
#quotes #emily-mortimer #dance #life

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. ~William Arthur Ward

#quotes #harry-a-blackmun #individual

What exists is a godly existence, a divine existence. God not as a person but as a presence certainly exists.

If you have not known yourself you will never know God. ~Rajneesh
