“In response to those who say to stop dreaming and face reality, I say keep dreaming and make reality.” ~ Kristian Kan Posted on June 24, 2014 by underthebluedoor Posted in Check It Out, Quotes, Street Art Leave a comment Street Art by Banksy
“I can absolutely agree that there is a lot to complain about. If there wasn’t, people wouldn’t have such an easy job doing so. It isn’t an easy task to jump in the river of agony, pain and smile while you are diving through it. Like any other great river, for surely suffering and the way how most people treat each other is a strong current, we must remember that a river of such size eventually splits up into a delta, where it joins the ocean. If you can stay strong and cultivate a persistent will of fire deep within yourself and say; “hey, I know shit is tough, but why am I letting this kill me? I am not my surroundings unless I allow it to overtake me.”, you can grow seeds of courage, which will be your ultimate tool in the realms of physical and metaphysical survival. Don’t ever give up to the cruelties in this world. Let your strength radiate out energy that will transform your own surroundings and that will, given enough time, spread to the far reaches of this universe.” ~ Zdravko Stefanovic Posted on June 23, 2014 by underthebluedoor Posted in Cartoon, Quotes Leave a comment
“It is our earth. I don’t know if any of you have noticed, early in the morning, the sunlight on the waters. How extraordinarily soft is the light, and how the dark waters dance, with the morning stars over the trees, the only star in the sky. Do you ever notice any of that? Or are you so busy, so occupied with the daily routine, that you forget or have never known the rich beauty of this earth—this earth on which all of us have to live? Whether we call ourselves communists or capitalists, Hindus or Buddhists, Muslims or Christians, whether we are blind, lame, or well and happy, this earth is ours. It is our earth, not somebody else’s; it is not only the rich man’s earth, it does not belong exclusively to the powerful rulers, to the nobles of the land, but it is our earth, yours and mine. We are nobodies, yet we also live on this earth and we all have to live together. It is the world of the poor as well as of the rich, of the unlettered as well as of the learned; it is our world, and I think it is very important to feel this and to love the earth, not just occasionally on a peaceful morning, but all the time.” ~Jiddu Krishnamurti Posted on June 22, 2014 by underthebluedoor Posted in Art, Quotes Leave a comment Art by Autumn Skye
“All negativity is caused by an accumulation of psychological time and denial of the present. Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry – all forms of fear – are caused by too much future, and not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of nonforgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence.” ~ Eckhart Tolle Posted on June 21, 2014 by underthebluedoor Posted in Cartoon, Quotes 1 Comment
“The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance” ~ Carl Sagan Posted on June 20, 2014 by underthebluedoor Posted in Cartoon, Check It Out, Quotes Leave a comment
“We humans look rather different from a tree. Without a doubt we perceive the world differently than a tree does. But down deep, at the molecular heart of life, the trees and we are essentially identical.” ~ Carl Sagan Posted on June 20, 2014 by underthebluedoor Posted in Art, Check It Out, Quotes 1 Comment Art by Sascalia
“Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream. I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been. To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen. They talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be revealed.” ~Led Zeppelin, Kashmir lyrics Posted on June 19, 2014 by underthebluedoor Posted in Art, Music, Quotes Leave a comment Art by Joseph Skala
