“Liking is probably the best form of ownership, and ownership the worst form of liking.” ― José Saramago
Thank you very much @diogenes_cask!! 🙂 I am not sure if i understand the quote. So i think it means that you can like something and that is positive. BUTTT if you like something and you dont want to share that is not good and super selfish right? 🙄🙄
I came across a quote that said:
You'll always be brave in someone's mind and coward in another's, strong to one and fragile to another, good to one and terrible to another.
You will be seen as annoying to one and comforting to another.
Some will feel anxious around you and some will find peace in your company. Some will see you as "too much" while others will see you as a gift.
The world will look at you from their subjective point of view.
The world is never going to agree on a definition of who you are.
So you might as well live the way that feels true to your heart
Thanks @mayuuram, @diogenes_cask and @Fleurke for the nice quotes!! 🥰🥰
I looked in the break for funny and not serious quotes too!! 😛 These are maybe nice:
1️⃣ You are like my favourite song on repeat, except i dont get tired of you!!
2️⃣ I am not short! I am fun-sized!! 😛
3️⃣ When in doubt, look intelligent!! 😵💫🤭🤭
Ernest Hemingway once said: In our darkest moments, we don’t need solutions or advice. What we yearn for is simply human connection—a quiet presence, a gentle touch. These small gestures are the anchors that hold us steady when life feels like too much.
Please don’t try to fix me. Don’t take on my pain or push away my shadows. Just sit beside me as I work through my own inner storms. Be the steady hand I can reach for as I find my way.
My pain is mine to carry, my battles mine to face. But your presence reminds me I’m not alone in this vast, sometimes frightening world. It’s a quiet reminder that I am worthy of love, even when I feel broken.
So, in those dark hours when I lose my way, will you just be here? Not as a rescuer, but as a companion. Hold my hand until the dawn arrives, helping me remember my strength.
Your silent support is the most precious gift you can give. It’s a love that helps me remember who I am, even when I forget.
“We have two ears and one mouth, so we should listen more than we speak.” — Zeno of Citium
I think that is true @diogenes_cask BUTTTT sometimes if you are for example with a friend it is also difficult NOTTT to talk!! 😛

"No amount of money has ever bought a second of time".
Though I'd like to argue it does when you're about to die and a surgery in the hospital could give you a couple more months or years. What do you guys think about this quote?
True, in such a situation, you could "hire" some months or some years from your very own life. Your life is just a tiny spot in the relative conception of time. Time flows, time is the name for flow of all lives throughout the creed of existence. Nothing can stop or pause this flow.
I think @-Kiki- and @diogenes_cask are both correct. BUTTTT if for example you want to buy healthy food it is more expensive than for example snacks or super fat food. My mom complains a LOTTT about that. And if you really want to even buy biological food it is even more expensive. So if you want to eat more healthy than money can help to do that. And more healthy food can make you healthier and live longer. So that is maybe an exception of the rule. 🙂

i agree
and weelll, simply it doesn't mean that everything said in the quote is relevant, Some view them as powerful tools for expressing feeling, emotions, sentiments to others, which can’t be conveyed in any other case, while others approach them with skepticism, questioning their universal applicability. so yeahhh it simply take it or leave (ツ)_🍷✨

I think you have a good point there. So time itself continues and has no end (?), but you can buy yourself some more time in your own life.
@mayuuram I don't really get what you mean. You say you agree, but your text makes me confused about that.
Nobody is your friend unless they defend your name when you’re not around.
A real friend won’t stay quiet when others talk bad about you. They won’t laugh when you’re being disrespected. They won’t act like it’s none of their business.
They will speak up. They will shut it down. They will remind people who you are.
Surround yourself with people who protect your name. Who stand up for you. Who stay solid when you’re not around.
Because loyalty isn’t what they say to you. It’s what they say about you when you’re not there.
A real friend is a blessing. 🌻
