Philosophy Quote by K. Crumley — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Like a wild animal, the soul is tough, resilient, resourceful, savvy, and self-sufficient: it knows how to survive in hard places. I learned about these qualities during my bouts with depression. In that deadly darkness, the faculties I had always depended on collapsed. My intellect was useless; my emotions were dead; my will was impotent; my ego was shattered. But from time to time, deep in the thickets of my inner wilderness, I could sense the presence of something that knew how to stay alive even when the rest of me wanted to die. That something was my tough and tenacious soul.”

“Compassion is the basis of all morality”

“Bloom as if you want to make the whole world beautiful.”

“Wisest is she who knows she does not know.”

“We never realize just how many other lives we can help when their paths cross our own.”

“The desire to die was my one and only concern; to it I have sacrificed everything, even death.”
