{"quotes":[{"text":"For this world also which seems to us a thing of stone and flower and blood is not a thing at all but a tale. And all in it is a tale and each tale the sum of all lesser tales and yet these are the selfsame tale and contain as well all within them. So everything is necessary. Every least thing. This is the hard lesson. Nothing can be dispensed with. Nothing despised. Because the seams are hid from us, you see. The joinery. The way in which the world is made. We have no way to know what could be taken away. What omitted. We have no way to tell what might stand and what might fall.","author":"Cormac McCarthy","tags":["lessons","life","stories","world"],"id":991,"author_id":"Cormac+McCarthy"},{"text":"I remember a time in a class on a cold winter morning a Japanese girl came with a surgical mask \u0026 I thought “wow people would go to extremes NOT to get sick in Japan” afterwards on a break I approached her \u0026 asked in a cynical manner: why the mask? Are you afraid of catching a cold? \u0026 then she said “in Japan you use it when YOU are under the weather \u0026 you don’t want other people to get sick, it is the polite thing to do” wow! That's a lesson I will never forget.","author":"Pablo","tags":["compassion","empathy","inspirational","lessons","motivational","philosophy","philosophy-of-life","winter","wisdom"],"id":1352,"author_id":"Pablo"},{"text":"No man can escape the shadow of his own character.'

To dream is part of the process of setting goals and then striving to achieve them.
