One of the things I like about this thread is when I read a particularly memorable quote I can look up the person quoted and learn about them ... who were they, what was the social, philosophical context for the quote. On more than one occasion, this has lead me to look at the figure more in depth and delve into other writings. Did not mean to provoke a fire storm ... but I honestly don't know who you have cited.

He taught me a lot. He was a friend and teacher of mine for 35+ years. He is no one famous. He is no one you can look up. He has been dead for 21 years, my quoting him is just my way of remembering and honoring him. Sorry if that does not fit your criteria of quotable people. I would suggest just letting his quotes stand or fall at face value. Edited September 6, 2018 by moment 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is absolutely nothing wrong with honoring those that have had a marked influence on your life. I also, carry memories of influential individuals from my life, often based in things they have said. In fact, I deliberately incorporate many of those into my working manner of expression.

Marblehead Posted September 6, 2018 I have influenced my life more than anyone else has. I suppose I could quote myself. What you say? I already do that too often? Oh well. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was printed on the side of his cart that he uses to carry his instruments. (He plays mostly Old Time Country and Bluegrass.) 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neti neti Posted September 13, 2018 “Can you be as light as the wind? Can you be nothing? Empty yourself of yourself. You don’t know, but you’ll never feel fuller than when you’re completely empty. It’s like a feather dancing in a soft breeze. It dances like no one is watching. It’s like a falling leaf. It didn’t fall by its own will. It’s like a bird singing near your window. Is it singing to you? It simply sings. Life is beautiful. Just let it live itself. Let the ecstatic dance of the Universe flow through your body. Let the euphoric song of the Universe flow through your mind. Let the rhapsodic life of the Universe live you.” ~Avahtara Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
